The Schmalau is an approximately 4 km long right tributary of the Eller in southern Lower Saxony and north-western Thuringia .

course

The Schmalau rises southwest of the Königshagen desert and south of Scharzfeld at the foot of the Rotenberg (317 m) in Lower Saxony. After about 200 m it reaches the state border with Thuringia. It remains a border stream until it flows into the Eller near Zwinge , on which the former Rothenberg estate and today's Rothenbergshaus and the former Zwinge brickworks lie. Shortly before it flows into the Eller, the disused Bleicherode – Herzberg railway crossed the water.

From 1949 to 1990, the inner German border ran right next to the stream , today part of the German Green Belt .
