Fulda-Haune-Tafelland

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Fulda-Haune-Tafelland is a natural spatial main unit (355) in the East Hessian mountainous region (main unit group 35) between the low mountain ranges Knüll (in the western north), Vogelsberg (in the southwest) and Rhön (in the east and southeast) in Hesse , Germany . It is divided into the central to western low mountain ranges Ottrauer Bergland , Kirchheimer Bergland and Schlitzer Land , the valley basin Kämmerzell-Hersfelder Fuldatal in the east and the Haune plateau consisting of mountain ranges and valley basins in the far east.

It is named after the rivers Fulda and Haune , which flow through the east in a south-north direction, as well as the towns of Ottrau , Kirchheim , Schlitz , ( Fulda -) Kämmerzell and Bad Hersfeld .

Apart from the river valleys, the table land is almost entirely on red sandstone . Only a few singularities, such as B. the highest elevation with 592 m, the Rimberg , are on basalt .

The Fulda-Haune-Tafelland lies at the interface between North , East and Central Hesse in the districts of Schwalm-Eder , Hersfeld-Rotenburg , Fulda and Vogelsbergkreis .

Natural structure

The Fulda-Haune-Tafelland is structured as follows:

Limits

In a clockwise direction, starting in the north, there are the following boundaries to the neighboring natural areas (Fulda-Haune-Tafelland internal boundaries double indented):

  • The (still this side) Geis separates the Kirchheimer Bergland from the Neuenstein-Ludwigsecker mountain range (357.0) - Fulda-Werra-Bergland , which adjoins northeast
    • The Fulda between Fulda and Bad Hersfeld , where the Geis (from left), Haune (from right) and Solz (from right) flow into the Fulda in the Hersfeld valley , separates the Haune plateaus in the east from the other natural areas
      • The lower Haunetal in turn separates the Rombach plateau in the west from the Buchenau plateau in the east.
  • The (still this side) valley of the Solz separates the Buchenau plateau from the Seulingswald (377.20) - Fulda-Werra-Bergland, to the north
  • The eastern border of the Buchenau plateau to the Soisberger Kuppenrhön (353.22) - Kuppenrhön - follows less the relief than geological borders. But it is also evident in the abruptly decreasing forest cover towards the Rhön and the higher settlement density there
  • The Hünfeld basin near Hünfeld and the Upper Haunetal separate the Rombach plateaus from Soisberger Kuppenrhön, Milseburger Kuppenrhön (353.21) and Western Rhön foreland (353.1) - all Kuppenrhön - in the east.
  • The Fulda basin (352.1) - Fuldaer Senke - near Fulda is the southern border to the western Rhön and eastern Vogelsberg foothills.
  • The Großenlüder-Lauterbacher Graben (352.2) - Fuldaer Senke - which runs to the north-west of the Fulda, separates Schlitzer Land and, further west, Ottrauer Bergland from the Lower Vogelsberg (main unit 350). In sections it follows the valleys of Lüder , Lauter with Brenderwasser and Maar and finally the brook of Wallenrod to shortly after its confluence with the Schwalm.
    • The Jossa and its tributary Schwarza separate the Schlitzer Land from the Ottrauer Bergland to the northwest.
  • The landscape of the same name (343.0) - West Hessian Basin - which extends north along the Schwalm , clearly separates the Ottrauer Bergland to the west from the northern Vogelsberg foreland
  • The (still this side) Grenff separates the Ottrauer Bergland to the north from the western Knüll foreland
  • The southeast border of the eastern Knüll foreland to Ottrauer Bergland and Kirchheimer Bergland follows less the relief than geological boundaries. Along the assembly hall , Gersdorf is just now part of the Knüll district of Kirchheim and Frielingen is already part of the Fulda-Haune-Tafelland.
    • The auditorium is the border river between the Ottrauer Bergland and the Kirchheimer Bergland

Rivers

In the following the rivers are arranged from north to south, upstream the main rivers Schwalm and Fulda ;
Boundary rivers running outside the table country, as well as the river lengths, in brackets:

Geisbach and Aula arise from the Knüll , Fulda, Haune and Solz of the Rhön , while the source rivers of Schlitz and Lüder - like the Schwalm and Bach of Wallenrod - come from the Vogelsberg .

Particularly productive in the interior of the Fulda-Haune-Tafelland is the area around the Rimberg in the Ottrauer Bergland, where, in addition to Grenff and Berf, various tributaries from Aula - u. a. Ibra (9.7 km) and Hattenbach (7.6 km) - und Jossa - v. a. Breitenbach (7.4 km) - have their source.

In the south-western Ottrauer Bergland on the Auerberg, the Eifa and the Schwarza (8.8 km) arise as the most important tributaries of the Jossa, while the Jossa itself comes from the Schlitzer Land, which also has the Wiesbach and Sengelbach (5.9 km), a left one Inflow of the Schlitz underflow, feeds.

In the east, Schwarzbach and Rombach swell on the Rombach plateau, in the north Meisebach and Asbach as well as shorter left tributaries of the auditorium in the Kirchheimer Bergland.

Assignment to other mountain ranges

Since the three surrounding low mountain ranges are much better known by name and also higher than the Fulda-Haune-Tafelland, the individual natural areas are usually assigned to the neighboring mountains, namely:

The parts of Schlitzer Land and the southwest of the Ottrauer Bergland, which are directly adjacent to the Vogelsberg, are also included in the Vogelsberg more rarely , which u. U. may be related to belonging to the Vogelsbergkreis .
