Rosenheim basin
The Rosenheim Basin is the bottom of the former Rosenheimer See , a lake that formed in the tongue basin from the melting Inn glacier at the end of the Würm Ice Age in the area of today's city of Rosenheim . At 420 km², this lake was almost as big as today's Lake Constance and left behind up to 150 m thick sediments . With the silting and United sumpfung the lake Rosenheim were able to mighty Moore grow. Today's Simssee is a remnant of the Rosenheimer See.
The Rosenheim basin is bounded by the mighty marginal and terminal moraines left by the glacier: the Irschenberg in the west in the area of Markt Bruckmühl, the moraine breakthrough between the town of Wasserburg am Inn and the Attel district in the north . In the east, the Inn glacier merged into the Chiemsee glacier, the sediment collected in intermediate moraines between Riedering and Prien . Drumlins can be found northwest (near Tuntenhausen ) and northeast of Rosenheim.
