In the east, on the slopes towards the Saale valley, the terrain becomes steeper. There are meadows and orchards or larger forest areas. The highest elevations are the heights northwest of Eckolstädt with almost 300 m above sea level. NN and the wooden corner south of Kleinromstedt with 352 m.
geology
The municipality belonged almost exclusively to the Upper Muschelkalk . To the east, it is overlaid by fertile loess to a large extent . Occasionally gneiss or other Nordic rocks are found as relics of the Elster Cold Age . In the west there are also larger areas of the lower Keuper , mainly the Kohlenkeuper. In the lowlands, the brooks created floods.
Waters
Several small streams flowed through the municipality, to the east to the Saale or to the west to the Ilm. The largest is the Utenbach , which rises east of Wormstedt and flows further west through Wormstedt and Utenbach and then to the north of the Ilm.

On December 31, 2019, the community was incorporated into the city of Bad Sulza .
Prehistory and early history
All parts of the community only acquired the same administrative affiliation after 1918, but look back on a common prehistory and early history. Due to its favorable soil and water conditions, the Saale-Ilm-Platte has been populated almost continuously since the Neolithic. The following cultures and periods of settlement can be identified within the community and in its neighboring towns: linear ceramic tape (5500–4900 BC), stitch ribbon ceramic (4900–4500 BC), Rössen culture (4500–4300 BC), spherical amphora culture ( 3100–2700 BC), corded ceramics (2800–2200 BC), bell beaker culture (2600–2200 BC), Aunjetitz culture (2300–1500 BC), burial mound culture (1600–1300 BC ) Chr.), Urnfield Culture (1300–800 BC), Hallstatt D (650–475 BC), Latène (480–0 BC), Roman Empire (0–400 AD), Migration period (AD 400–600).
In the early Middle Ages, at the time of the Frankish-German colonization in the east , today's settlement structures developed. Along the Alte Leipziger Straße , an important long-distance traffic route between the Thuringian Basin and the Leipzig lowlands, new farming villages were gradually founded. A presumably older Frankish settlement coming from the west (place names ending in –stedt or –städt ) was probably followed in the 9th and 10th centuries by a Slavic settlement originating from the east (Slavic place names: Stobra, Kösnitz and numerous desolations). The type of settlement of the Rundlingdorf , which is particularly typical for German-Slavic penetration zones, has been preserved in some places.
The region was fiefdom , isolated, however, the imperial monasteries acquired Fulda and Hersfeld and the Archdiocese of Mainz possessions. In the late Middle Ages (14th century) almost all districts came under the Wettin rule and became part of the offices of Dornburg , Camburg or Kapellendorf .
