The Neuseesen-Werleshäuser heights are a small one, on the mountain of Hanstein Castle up to 390 m above sea level. NHN high mountain range in the districts of Werra-Meißner and Eichsfeld in the border area of Hesse and Thuringia ( Germany ).
Geographical location
The mountain range lying east of the Werra , arching around the Siesterbach , which flows into Werleshausen , is about four kilometers long and three kilometers wide. Looking clockwise, it lies between Werleshausen and Wendershausen in the south, Unterrieden in the west, Eichenberg in the north-west, Hohengandern in the north and Bornhagen in the east. The nearest town Witzenhausen is immediately to the west, Bad Sooden-Allendorf about seven kilometers to the south-east.
The Wanfried Agreement in 1945 shifted the American-Soviet zone border. So the eponymous places Werleshausen and Neuseesen , through which an important railway line ran from north to south Germany, came to Hesse and in return several smaller places to Thuringia .
Natural allocation
The Neuseesen-Werleshäuser heights are naturally allocated according to the Kassel sheet as follows:
-
(to 35 East Hessian mountains )
-
(to 358 Lower Werrabergland )
- 358.8 Neuseesen-Werleshäuser heights
-
(to 358 Lower Werrabergland )
The inner- Thuringian breakdown of natural spaces in Thuringia assigns the heights or the Thuringian part of the Werrabergland – Hörselberge unit .
The Neuseesen-Werleshäuser heights represent the north-western extension of the 510.7 m high Höheberg , from which they are roughly separated by the Siesterbach , extended upstream over the Friesenbach . On the Neuseesen-Werleshäuser heights, however, there is mainly shell limestone , while on the Höheberg the red sandstone is clearly predominant.
To the north they come to the Oberer Leinegraben , the southwestern extension of which along the B 27 and the Karlsbach separates the heights from the sand forest , which continues the landscape to the northwest. To the southwest bump height Berg, Neuseesen-Werle houses heights and sand forest directly to the Sooden-Allendorf Werratal the Werra .
In terms of orography, the elevations to the north in the Altes Holz forest area , which represent elevations on the edge of the Leinegraben, must also be added.
mountains
The most important mountains and elevations are - sorted by height in meters (m) above sea level (MSL; unless otherwise stated):
- Mountain of Hanstein Castle (approx. 390 m), directly northwest of Bornhagen-Rimbach
- Winterberg (375 m), border area of the Werra-Meißner and Eichsfeld districts, east of Neuseesen
- Stürzliede (354.2 m), Werra-Meißner district, northwest of Neuseesen
- Stürzlieder Berg (342.9 m), border area Werra-Meißner and Eichsfeld
- Witzgenstein (336.3 m), Werra-Meißner district, east of Unterrieden
- Ebenhöhe (approx. 320 m), Werra-Meißner district, northwest of Werleshausen
- Elevation of Arnstein Castle (263 m), Werra-Meißner district, southeast of Eichenberg
The elevations of the "Old Wood" (up to 335 m ) located north of the Stürzlieder Mountain in the Eichsfeld district already belong to the Upper Leinegraben .
