Elbe Urstromtal : ウィキペディア英語版 | Elbe Urstromtal The Elbe Urstromtal ((ドイツ語:Elbe-Urstromtal)) refers to the present-day valley of the Elbe over a length of around 300 kilometres between the Saxony-Anhalt town of Genthin to its mouth near Cuxhaven. The ''urstromtal'', or glacial meltwater valley, emerged at the height of the Weichselian glaciation. == History ==
The Elbe Urstromtal probably emerged between the coldest period of the Weichselian glaciation, about 22,000 to 18,000 years ago, and the end of the glaciation in North Germany about 14,500 years ago. At that time the glacier was melting and the waters attempted to find their way to the lowest lying points. The Elbe Urstromtal collected the meltwaters and carried them to the North Sea, which then lay up to 120 metres below its present level. The then coastline was about 600 kilometres further north. The Elbe Urstromtal also collected the meltwaters of the three ''urstromtäler'', the Glogau-Baruther Urstromtal, Warschau-Berliner Urstromtal and Thorn-Eberswalder Urstromtal and carried them in the direction of the North Sea Basin.
