Course

The name means brawn transferred " salt spring ". The catchment area of ​​144.7 km ² aspic is, the length of about 20 km ( from the source river to the west of Wanzleben ) and overall slope about 50 m. Two source streams, coming from Wanzleben and Altenweddingen, unite in Sülldorf for brawn. Due to the success in this area, natural flow of saline water, the brawn then has a high salt content, from which its name says. Near Sülldorf the Sülzetal is designated as a nature reserve. It flows on through Dodendorf to the east and reached the territory of the city of Magdeburg in Beyendorf soles district. Along the mountains Sohlener the brawn then flows Salbke.

History

Originally the mouth of the aspic was further north, at the port aspic in Magdeburg- Buckau. As part of the temporarily strong industrial use of the Elbe River, the mouth was moved. However, there are plans to make the original course again. 1838 had Maschinenfabrik Buckau purchased land near the old mouth and initially made ​​the aspic 1839/40 from the mouth to the factory premises navigable. 1926, shipbuilding had been abandoned, the aspic was channeled in the lower reaches in the work area of ​​the machine factory.

In the 18th century, the mouth was still further north. This is how a lexicon from 1741 that Sulte flowed through the monastery mountains where then led the jack in the creek. The aspic led below the monastery mountains into the Elbe. Today, the jack has its own Elbe estuary.

There are, however, not concrete stocky conjecture, according to which a given by the Roman historian Tacitus in the year 57 battle between Hermunduren and chatting to a river was recovered from the salt and the two peoples served as the border, the river Saltbeke that of the Salbke place derives its name, and thus could potentially have in the brawn, occurred. The battle should have been obtained from the Hermunduren. However, the site of the battle is ultimately unclear. Also various other rivers and areas for this purpose are considered.

On April 22, 1829 the Buckenauer cantor Johann Andreas drowned peoples in the brawn. His body was found on April 23, 1829. He was, after which he held the office since 1806, has been with the accusation that he had given to drink, deposed. The release of the complete dismissal should be notified to him on 25 April.
