    Landmark 4 Brocken ® On the 17th of November, 2015, during the 38th UNESCO General Assembly, the 195 member states of the United Nations resolved to introduce a new title. As a result, Geoparks can be distinguished as UNESCO Global Geoparks. As early as 2004, 25 European and Chinese Geoparks had founded the Global Geoparks Network (GGN). In autumn of that year Geopark Harz · Braunschweiger Land · Ostfalen became part of the network. In addition, there are various regional networks, among them the European Geoparks Network (EGN). These coordinate international cooperation. 22 Königslutter 28 ® 1 cm = 26 km 20 Oschersleben 27 18 14 Goslar Halberstadt 3 2 1 8 Quedlinburg 4 OsterodeOsterodee a.H.a.Ha H.. 9 11 5 13 15 161 6 10 17 19 7 Sangerhausen Nordhausen 12 21 In the above overview map you can see the locations of all UNESCO Global Geoparks in Europe, including UNESCO Global Geopark Harz · Braunschweiger Land · Ostfalen and the borders of its parts. UNESCO-Geoparks are clearly defi ned, unique areas, in which geosites and landscapes of international geological importance are found. The purpose of every UNESCO-Geopark is to protect the geological heritage and to promote environmental education and sustainable regional development. Actions which can infl ict considerable damage on geosites are forbidden by law. A Highlight of a Harz Visit 1 The Brocken A walk up the Brocken can begin at many of the Landmark’s Geopoints, or one can take the Brockenbahn from Wernigerode or Drei Annen-Hohne via Schierke up to the highest mountain of the Geopark (1,141 meters a.s.l.).

  • Anhalt-Dessau (1820-1853)
    Anhalt-Dessau (1820-1853) Staatsgebiet Das Herzogtum Anhalt-Dessau befindet sich in Mitteldeutschland. Es verteilt sich auf die fünf Landesteile Gröbzig, Sandersleben, Zerbst, Dessau und Nedlitz sowie die zwei Exklaven Großalsleben und Gödnitz. In seinem Staatsgebiet liegen die preußischen Enklaven Löbnitz und Priorau-Schierau-Möst. An den äußeren Grenzen befinden sich das Königreich Preußen und die Gebietsteile von Anhalt-Bernburg und Anhalt-Köthen. Hauptstadt und Sitz des Hofes ist Dessau, Residenzen befinden sich in Mosigkau, Oranienbaum und Zerbst. 1847 übernimmt Anhalt-Dessau die Verwaltung des Herzogtums Anhalt-Köthen, mit dem es sich 1853 zum Herzogtum Anhalt-Dessau- Köthen vereinigt. Geographie/Topographie Für das Herzogtum Anhalt-Dessau wird 1815 eine Fläche von 17 Quadratmeilen angegeben. Der GIS-Wert beträgt 864km². Die Gebiete des Herzogtums Anhalt-Dessau sind mit Ausnahme des Amtes Sandersleben vollkommen eben. Die sieben Flüsse, die das Herzogtum durchziehen, prägen die Landschaft und die Güte des Bodens: Elbe, Mulde, Fuhne, Taube, Ziethe, Wipper und Nuthe. Fuhne und Wipper bieten hervorragenden Weizenboden und an der Elbe und Mulde befindet sich ergiebiger Auboden. Das Amt Zerbst hingegen verfügt nur über eher mageren Boden und der Untergrund um Dessau wird als „toter Sand" bezeichnet. Ein verhältnismäßig großer Anteil des Landes ist bewaldet, was dem Wildbestand zugute kommt. Prägend für dieses Gebiet sind die häufigen Überschwemmungen durch Elbe und Mulde. Seit dem 18. Jahrhundert werden systematisch Wälle angelegt um die Überschwemmungen einzudämmen. Zudem ist eine Eilboten-Verbindung mit Dresden eingerichtet, die den Elbstand 24 Stunden früher als die Flut bringt. Seit 1819 besteht auch eine besondere Wallordnung. "Das Klima ist gesund, aber die Überschwemmungen erzeugen oft Fieber und andere Krankheiten." (H.
