Holzgerlinger plate
The Holzgerlinger Platte is the natural spatial sub- unit no. 104.14 of the Swabian Keuper-Lias-Land in the south-west German step country . It belongs to the natural area Schönbuch and Glemswald .
location
The tile structure of the Holzgerlinger Platte is determined almost exclusively by the moderately drained and relatively mineral-rich Lias cover clay (= Filder clay). Only on the western edge is the marl in the small eaves bay of Castle Mauren , as well as on the Schaichtalhang in the eastern part of the unit. However, the loess loam also extends to these edges.
The south-western part is formed by the Holzgerlingen Lias plate with heights of 530 to 480 m above sea level . To the north of the fault line of the Bromberg Fissure, the northern Schönbuch joins, a Keuperscholle that is less prominent in relation to the southern Schönbuch and is covered extensively by Lia limestone. On the northwestern edge of Schönbuch between Böblingen and Weil im Schönbuch you can find plowed riedel made of rocks from the Lias above clearance zones in the Keuper.
The Holzgerlinger Platte has been settled since Roman times. The following cities and communities are assigned to the Holzgerlinger Platte (from west to east): Hildrizhausen , Altdorf , Holzgerlingen , Weil im Schönbuch , Dettenhausen .
