The Salza near Zappendorf

The Salza , also called Salzke , is a left tributary of the Saale in Saxony-Anhalt . It is created on the eastern edge of the Mansfeld-Südharz district by the confluence of the Querne / Weida coming from Querfurt with the Böse Sieben coming from Eisleben , from the left, and runs under this name almost entirely in the Saalekreis . Here, the water of the evil seven does not flow naturally downhill towards the Weida, but is from the 78.7  m above sea level. NHN high Kernersee to the height of 85.4  m above sea level. NHN pumped and fed to this.

With a discharge of only 1.8 l / (km² · s), the Salza river system is one of the most arid in Germany in relation to the size of its catchment area.

course

The Salza by name begins at the point where the Weida, west of Langenbogen, is supplied with the water raised by the Evil Sieben ; it previously flowed through the Süßen Lake , the town of Seeburg , the Bindersee and the Kernersee . After a first short run to Langenbogen to the east, it flows all in all to the northeast. In Köllme it is fed from the right by the Würdebach , in the main town of Zappendorf then from the left by the Laweke , before it flows into the Saale at Salzmünde .

Catchment area and tributaries

The catchment area of ​​the Salza ( river code number 5672) is divided into the following sub- catchment areas (straight end digits correspond to nominal tributaries, the lengths and sub- catchment areas in brackets ):

  • 56721–56723 Querne / Weida (37.4 km; 242.9 km²)
    • 56721 Querne (16.9 km; 65.5 km², hydrographic upper reaches of the Salza)
    • 56722 Weidenbach (41.6 km²)
    • 56723 Weida (16.5 km + 4.0 km as a central ditch; 135.8 km², hydrographically second section of the Salza)
  • 56724 Bad Seven (167.9 km²)
  • 56725-56729 Salza (10.8 km; 122.9 km², a total of 568.0 km²)
    • 56725 intermediate area (with Höhnstedter Welle; 17.5 km²)
    • 56726 Würdebach (69.1 km²)
    • 56727 intermediate area (3.3 km²)
    • 56728 Laweke (14.5 km; 48.9 km²)
    • 56729 Salza Unterlauf (18.5 km²)

Origin of name

The basic word was originally aha (a variant of -au ). This was already weakened to -a in 979, the time of the first documentary mention . There was also the old or Middle High German salt , which stands for salt. Salza means salty water.

environment

For a long time, the adjacent industrial plants - including in particular sugar factories - heavily polluted the stream bed with their sewage. With the decline of local industry, the water quality has improved significantly. The regeneration of the ecosystem is promoted by artificially created biotopes along the Salza.

The Salza flows through to its full length named after her conservation area Salzatal .

Attractions

The Mansfeld Lakes wine route runs along the stream through a branch of the northernmost German wine-growing region, Saale-Unstrut .
