The Sülze is a stream that flows into the Elbe in the Magdeburg Börde in Saxony-Anhalt .

course

The name Sülze means “ salt source ”. The catchment area of ​​the Sülze is 144.7 km², the length approx. 20 km (from the source stream west of Wanzleben) and the total gradient approx. 50 m. Two source streams, the Seerennengraben from Wanzleben and the Röthegraben (also Graben 13) coming from Altenweddingen , unite in Sülldorf to Sülze. Due to the natural influx of salty water in this area, the brawn then has an increased salt content, which explains its name. The Sülzetal near Sülldorf is designated as a nature reserve. It flows further through Dodendorf to the east and reaches the area of ​​the city of Magdeburg in the Beyendorf-Sohlen district . The brawn then flows along the Sohlener Berge to Salbke .

history

Originally the mouth of the Sülze was further north, at the Sülzehafen in Magdeburg-Buckau . The estuary was relocated as part of the heavy industrial use of the Elbe bank. However, there are plans to restore the original history. In 1838 the Buckau engineering works acquired a piece of land near the old estuary and in 1839/40 made the Sülze navigable from the estuary to the factory premises . In 1926, when shipbuilding had been given up, the brawn in the lower reaches of the machine factory's premises was channeled.

In the 18th century the estuary was even further north. A lexicon from 1741 describes that the Sulte flowed through the Berge monastery , where the latch then flowed into the stream. The aspic flowed into the Elbe below the Berge monastery. Today the latch has its own mouth of the Elbe.

There are, albeit not specifically substantiated, assumptions, according to which a battle between Hermunduren and Chatten , cited by the Roman historian Tacitus for the year 57 , over a river from which salt was extracted and the two peoples served as a border, took place on the River Saltbeke , from which the place Salbke derives its name and could possibly have happened in the area of ​​the brawn. The battle is said to have been won by the Hermunduren. However, the location of the battle is ultimately unclear. Various other rivers and areas can also be considered.

On April 22nd, 1829 the Buckau cantor Johann Andreas Völker drowned himself in the Sülze. His body was found on April 23, 1829. After he had held the post since 1806, he was deposed on the charge that he had surrendered to the drink . The announcement of the total impeachment should be given to him on April 25th.

Mills on the brawn

In the course of history, watermills were built at 10 to 15 locations along the Sülze and its source ditches . Better known were the Buschmühle (also Weidemühle ) in Bahrendorf , the Amtsmühle and the Kirchmühle in Langenweddingen , the Stegmühle in Sülldorf, the Maschmühle in Osterweddingen , the Dodendorfer Mühle in Dodendorf , the Sohlener Mühle in Sohlen , the Rothe Mühle in Beyendorf and the Vikariummühle in front Ointment. The Salbke monastery mill was located in Salbke, roughly where the Magdeburg – Leipzig railway crosses the Sülze .

fauna

In the area of ​​the Sülzelaufs through the district of Salbke, the dragonfly species Banded Demoiselle and Large pitch demonfly were found.
