Eckardtsleben
Eckardtsleben () is a village and part of the town of Bad Langensalza in Thuringia, central Germany, with about 200 inhabitants. Geography Eckardtsleben is located (linear distance) south of Bad Langensalza ( Market Church) and on the ''Landesstraße'' (state road) 2125 (Bad Langensalza–Aschara). The village lies on both sides of a stream valley sloping down to the north-east. The ''Schwarzer Bach'' ("Black Brook"), which rises near Wiegleben, flows through the village from west to east and leaves the village as the ''Reifenheimer Graben'' ("Reifenheim Ditch") to flow into the Tonna a little below the Gräfentonna village mill. Since its source, the stream has travelled and lost in height. The intensively used flat-wavy terrain belongs to the arable farming area of the Thuringian Basin. The soils are fertile and mostly influenced by groundwater. Small erosion gullies, mostly vegetated, break up the landscape. The Eckardtsleben stop on the Gotha–Leinefelde railway line ...

Landesstraße
''Landesstraßen'' (singular: ''Landesstraße'') are roads in Germany and Austria that are, as a rule, the responsibility of the respective German or Austrian federal state. The term may therefore be translated as "state road". They are roads that cross the boundary of a rural or urban district ('' Landkreis'' or '' Kreisfreie Stadt''). A ''Landesstraße'' is thus less important than a ''Bundesstraße'' or federal road, but more significant than a ''Kreisstraße'' or district road. The classification of a road as a ''Landesstraße'' is a legal matter (''Widmung''). In the free states of Bavaria and Saxony – but not, however, in the Free State of Thuringia – ''Landesstraßen'' are known as ''Staatsstraßen''. Designation The abbreviation for a ''Landesstraße'' consists of a prefixed capital letter ''L'' and a serial number (e. g. L 1, L 83, L 262 or L 3190). ''Staatsstraßen'' in Saxony are similarly abbreviated using a capital ''S'' (e. g. S 190) and the ''Staatsstraß ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Thuringian Basin
The Thuringian Basin (german: Thüringer Becken) is a depression in the central and northwest part of Thuringia in Germany which is crossed by several rivers, the longest of which is the Unstrut. It stretches about from north to south and around from east to west. Its height varies from about 150 to . The Basin is surrounded by a wide outer girdle of limestone ( Muschelkalk) ridges (including Hainich, Dün, Hainleite, Hohe Schrecke, Schmücke, Finne), and to the southwest by the Thuringian Forest and to the southeast by sharply divided terraces (the Ilm-Saale and Ohrdruf Muschelkalk plateaus, and the Saale-Elster Bunter sandstone plateau). The Thuringian Basin belongs to the triassic period, during which horizontal beds of Bunter sandstone, Muschelkalk and Keuper were laid down. Below those lie the salt and gypsum layers of Magnesian Limestone ( Zechstein). In the Cenozoic era the surrounding ridges were uplifted, whilst the Thuringian Basin sank to form a saucer-shaped depr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
