List of cities and municipalities in the Rhön

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of cities and municipalities in the Rhön contains all cities and municipalities that are wholly or partially in the Rhön , a low mountain range in the German states of Bavaria , Hesse and Thuringia . Seven columns of the table sorted in alphabetical / numerical order in the initial view can be sorted by clicking on the symbols next to their headings.

Explanation

Explanations of the abbreviations used in the table can be found below .

Surname

If a municipality lies completely within the boundaries assigned to the Rhön ( orographically ), the individual districts are not listed. In the case of communities that are only partially located in the Rhön, all districts within it were listed separately in small letters below. The main town does not have to be within the Rhön. If this is the case, it is listed again. The exception is Breitungen, which does not have a district in the Rhön, but whose forest areas extend far into the slope and with the Pleß has a basalt mountain in the area.

status

Provides information about whether it is a municipality, market (-gemeinde), city, district town or something similar.

Natural space

Describes the natural areas in which the community is located. The 3rd order natural spaces are named at the top . Small including the smallest possible units. Here, reference is made to the municipality as a whole; there is no allocation to the individual districts. This classification is based on the handbook of the natural spatial structure of Germany . In Hesse, the names have been replaced by those in the Hessian Environmental Atlas because they are more concise and clearer. In the case of Thuringia, a clear subdivision was not made and the area was completely designated as the Eastern Kuppenrhön or, in the incline, as the Stadtlengsfelder Hügelland . In order to do justice to the many different natural structures, these were subdivided again, paying attention to the geological aspects.
