The Schlitz is a 13.3 km long, left-hand or southwestern tributary of the Fulda in the eastern Hessian districts of Fulda and Vogelsberg in Germany . Together with its longest source river, the Altefeld , it is 43.3 km long.
course
The Schlitz is created in Bad Salzschlirf by the confluence of the Lauter coming from the west and the Altefeld coming from the south at 238.7 m above sea level. NN . From this "river wedding" onwards, it flows northeast into the Vogelsbergkreis and in it immediately past Ützhausen , Nieder-Stoll and Bernshausen . Even if you only pass the town of Schlitz directly, it ends at around 218 m above sea level. NN in the Fulda .
Tributaries
Like the other river systems originating in the Hohen Vogelsberg, above all the Ohm and Nidda , the Schlitz converges from several spring arms of approximately the same size. They are listed from north to south:
- Brenderwasser (flows into the Lauter; 20.3 km; with Lauter and Schlitz underflow 42.7 km)
- Lauter (left source river; 27.9 km; with Schlitz lower reaches 41.1 km)
- Eisenbach (flows into the Lauter; 16.4 km; with Lauter and Schlitz lower reaches 44.8 km)
- Alte Hasel (flows into the Altefeld; 18.4 km; with Altefeld- and Schlitz-Unterlauf 44.2 km)
- Altefeld (right source river; 30.1 km; with Schlitz lower course 43.3 km)
The longest flow path of the Schlitz with around 46 kilometers goes via Ellersbach , Alte Hasel, Altefeld and Schlitz. The Ellersbach also drains more of the catchment area than the Alte Hasel above its mouth, but its course is relatively short at around 5 kilometers. According to a series of measurements between 1961 and 1990, the Alte Hasel / Altefeld branch (1.523 m³ / s on the 88.49 km² up to the confluence, Mq = 17.2 l / s km²) has slightly more water than the more northerly Brenderwasser / Lauter / Eisenbach branch (1.499 m³ / s on the 100.33 km² up to the Brender water mouth, Mq = 14.9 l / s km²).
The most important rivers in the Schlitz river system are listed in the following table, in clockwise order and thus again from north to south. A comparison of the respective lengths and catchment areas of the tributary and receiving waters up to the confluence of the first makes it clear that the four tributaries listed above (lines highlighted by weaker colors) have about the same weight in the river system as their receiving waters, which also applies to the (short) Ellersbach applies; the nominal receiving water has at most the advantage of the continuous name, not the greater hydrological significance. Following WFD Hesse, the sequence Altefeld – Schlitz is set and listed as the nominal main strand of the Schlitz system (strongly colored line).

From the Altefeld / Schlitz line it can be seen (see EZG columns) that the catchment area of the Fulda increases by at least 38% due to the inflow of the Schlitz.
