Rosoppe Frieda Bay

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rosoppe-Frieda-Bucht is a hilly landscape on the (western) fan of the Werra tributary Frieda in the districts of Werra-Meißner and Eichsfeld , in the border area of Hesse and Thuringia ( Germany ). It is a right-hand part of the Lower Werrabergland located on both sides of the Werra between Treffurt and Hedemünden .

Geographical location

The Rosoppe-Frieda-bay is a red sandstone - hills extending from the eastern edge of the Eschweger basin or from the Schwebda-Jestädter Werraaue the Werra at Frieda to north west to north to the western part of the fan of the Frieda with (in a clockwise direction, starting in Northwest) Rode , Krombach and Rosoppe .

This fan is limited by the shell limestone slabs of the Gobert in the northwest, the Upper Eichsfeld around the Höheberg in the north and the Westerwald in the northeast and the Wanfrieder Werrahöhen in the southeast. Eschwege is located directly on the southern edge, Bad Sooden-Allendorf on the western edge. In contrast, the Eichsfeld district town Heilbad Heiligenstadt is approx. 8 km from the northern edge.

Natural structure

According to the division of the handbook of the natural spatial structure of Germany , the Rosoppe-Frieda-Bucht is structured as follows:

The southern Gobert foreland and the parts of the Rosoppe-Frieda hill country to the west of the Rode are the slope and orographic part of the Gobert , while the southeastern part of the Rosoppe-Frieda hill country represents the north-east roof of the Wanfrieder Werrahöhen .

According to the alternative classification of the Thuringian State Institute for Environment and Geology (TLUG), the Thuringian part of the Rosoppe-Frieda-Bucht is included in the Werrabergland – Hörselberge unit .

Geology and landscape

The hilly landscape of the Rosoppe-Frieda-Bucht consists mainly of red sandstone , which extends from the layer of the limestone rims of the northwestern edge of the Thuringian basin to the Werra valley. Along the Eichenberg – Gotha – Saalfelder fault zone , however, individual mountain peaks and areas of shell limestone and other rocks are embedded, under which in particular the small mountain range Misseröder limestone ridge (also: Lehnche heads ) is delimited as a separate landscape. The soils of the shallow undulating basin in the north (east) en, which is sealed off by the limestone ridge, are very loess-rich .

While the southern Gobert foreland in the extreme southwest and the southern areas of the Frieda-Rosoppe hill country on both sides of the Frieda lower reaches have large forest areas, the central western part immediately east of the central Gobert and the basin landscape in the north (east) are mainly used for agriculture.

mountains

The most important mountains and peaks of the Rosoppe-Frieda-Bucht are structured from west to east or orographically clockwise according to the Frieda fan:

  • Southern Gobert foreland (Werra-Meißner district)
  • Southwestern Rosoppe Frieda hill country
    • Schloßberg (442.5 m), (south) west of the Rodemouth, west of Großtöpfer , Eichsfeld district
    • Hasselkuppe (380 m), north of Grebendorf (Werra-Meißner district)
    • Großer Dachsberg (363.3 m), border area of ​​the Werra-Meißner and Eichsfeld districts, north of Schwebda
    • Kahlenberg (274 m), northwest of the mouth of the Frieda and Friedas (Werra-Meißner district)
  • Misseröder Kalkrücke (Eichsfeld district)
    • Siebertsburg (424.0 m), east of Wiesenfeld
    • Sickeröder Berg (386.4 m), north of Sickerode
    • Roßberg (369.3 m), northwest of Geismar
  • Southeastern Rosoppe Frieda hill country
    • Hülfensberg (448.2 m), south of the Rosoppes estuary and north of Bebendorf , Eichsfeld district
    • Eichenberg (300 m), northeast of the mouth of the Frieda and Friedas (Werra-Meißner district)

Waters

While the partial river systems of Rosoppe , Krombach and Rode drain from the north at Geismar into the Frieda and at Frieda into the Werra , the small streams in the south and west flow directly into the Werra.
