Waldecker table

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Waldecker Tafel , also Waldecker Tafelland , is a natural spatial over-main unit in Hesse between Eder and Diemel , the Ostsauerland mountain range in the west and the Ostwaldecker peripheral depressions in the east.

The unit or the term "Waldecker Tafel" was created in the 1950s because the decimal system of the natural spatial main units and their groups had proven to be insufficient in the West Hessian highlands (main unit group 34), as this group had 11 clearly self-contained main units decreed. The code 340 therefore summarizes the open plateau of the Waldecker Gefilde (340 1 ) , characterized by Zechstein and lower red sandstone , and the densely wooded red sandstone ridges of the Waldecker Forest (340 2 ) adjoining it to the east . Both partial landscapes are to be understood as independent main units.

Natural structure

The Waldecker Tafel is structured as follows:

  • 340 Waldeck table
    • 340 1 Waldecker Gefilde
      • 340 1 .0 The Red Land
        • 340 1 .00 Obermarsberg plateau
        • 340 1 .01 Rotenlandsgrund
      • 340 1 .1 Korbacher Land
        • 340 1 .10 Berndorfer Grund
        • 340 1 .11 Korbach level
        • 340 1 .12 Goddelsheimer Feld
        • 340 1 .13 Sachsenhausen hill country
    • 340 2 Waldeck Forest
      • 340 2 .2 Orpewald
      • 340 2 .3 Twister hill country
      • 340 2 .4 Arolser plate
      • 340 2 .5 Long Forest
      • 340 2 .6 Old forest

The environmental atlas of Hessen from the State Environment Ministry based on Die Naturraum Hessens by Otto Klausing (1988) simplifies the spelling by inserting a 0 as the first decimal place instead of the subscript 1 in the Waldecker Gefilde and a decimal 1 instead of the subscript 2 in the Waldecker Wald instead of the subscript 2, whereby also the following number in the Waldecker Wald decreased by two. According to this, the Lange Wald would have the code number 340.13 and the Sachsenhausen hill country would have the number 340.013. The disadvantage of this notation is that it is not clear that there are two separate main units.
