On the southern slope of the Bromberg follow as seen from above, first a fairly short section Knoll marl, then quite extensive hillside areas with Stubensandstein and finally the Upper and Lower Colorful marl on the slopes above the valley floor.

The so-called Brombergspalte, one to Bebenhausen running from Hildrizhausen fault stretches along the north side of Bromberg. At this major tectonic fault the northern Schoenbuch plaice is higher compared to the south so greatly reduced that in the deeper layers of the northern geologically younger strata of the Black Law have been preserved over a large area. This partly covered with a Lösplatte soils are very fertile and are likely to already have been cleared early. There are today belonging to the so-called Schoenbuch clearing places Hildrizhausen, Altdorf, Holzgerlingen and Walton and Weybridge.
