Middle Franconian basin
The Middle Franconian Basin is a flat to hilly landscape in Franconia and, to a small extent, in Baden-Württemberg .
geography
With its 2200 square kilometers it is a main unit in the natural spatial main unit group Franconian Keuper-Lias-Land in the south-west German layer level land . It borders - starting in the north - on the Itz-Baunach-Hügelland , the foreland of the Northern , Middle and Southern Franconian Jura , on the Eastern Alb foreland (the now Swabian Jura ), on the Swabian-Franconian Forest Mountains , on the Frankenhöhe , the Steigerwald and the Haßberge .
The northern border is north of Nuremberg, in the east roughly on a line from Röthenbach an der Pegnitz to Freystadt , in the south at Gunzenhausen and in the west a little west of Ansbach . In the southwest there is a bulge that extends beyond Dinkelsbühl to the A 7 .
The rivers Zenn , Bibert , Schwabach , Mittlere Aurach and the Franconian Rezat divide the Middle Franconian Basin. They cut their way into the sandstone keuper that dominates here and partly also down into the gypsum keuper. Intensive agriculture is practiced in the area, with arable land, grassland and forest areas changing on a very small scale.

- ↑ designation on sheet Nuremberg; on sheet Rothenburg under this number is Dinkelsbühler Hügelland
- ↑ In the Rothenburg sheet, which was published in 1962, two segments of the hill country, separated by the Feuchtwanger basin, protrude with two different decimal places. The 1973 sheet Nuremberg, which does not contain the two eponymous cities but the majority of the landscape, does not adopt this division and assigns all sub-landscapes to 113.0, with the parts protruding into the Rothenburg sheet belonging to 113.00.
