With low Bergisch-Märkische hills of the northwestern part of the right bank Schiefergebirges in is Niederbergisches country and in the northwest of the Lower Bergisch country called. It extends from the Ruhr valley along with the right edge heights between below Wetters and Mülheim in the north to the Wupper valley near Wuppertal in the south; to the west it borders on the Bergische Heideterrasse , which already leads into the Cologne Bay . To the right of the Ruhr, the Ardey Mountains are also included in the extreme northeast .
The name comes from the handbook of the natural spatial structure of Germany , which identifies the landscape as the main natural spatial unit within the main unit group 33 Süderbergland . In its 4./5. Delivery from 1957, mapped by the map 1: 1,000,000 from 1954, this main unit, excluding the Ardey Mountains, still bore the code number 337 and was referred to as Niederbergisches Hügelland (Bergisches Unterland) . Since the more recent mapping from 1960, the code number has been changed to 337 1 and the demarcation changed accordingly. The extension to include the Ardey Mountains is not yet shown in the Düsseldorf sheet of 1963, but it is in the Arnsberg sheet of 1969, which divides the extreme east of the main unit.
The Niederbergisch-Märkisches Hügelland corresponds in parts to the cultural landscape of the Niederbergisch-Märkisches Land , which however does not include the Ruhr valley (or only that below Witten ) and extends south to Remscheid and Solingen .
Location and limits
The Niederbergisch-Märkisch hill country is limited by the following places:
- Mülheim in the northwest
- Dortmund and Schwerte , each already outside, in the northeast
- Hagen , just outside, in the east
- Wuppertal in the south
- Düsseldorf , outside, in the west
In addition to the Ruhr in the north and a small section of the Wupper in the south, the valley of the Ennepe from Gevelsberg together with the mouth of the Volme border valley in the east, but is already outside the main unit. A little further away and separated by the Heideterrasen as an intermediate stage, the Rhine forms a western border river.
