Contact Admin. Calbe is a town in the district of Salzlandkreis , in Saxony-Anhalt , Germany. It is situated on the Saale River , approx. It is known as Calbe an der Saale, to distinguish it from the smaller town of Kalbe on the Milde in the same state.
It is a railway junction, and among its industries are wool-weaving and the manufacture of cloth, paper, stoves, sugar and bricks. Cucumbers and onions are cultivated, and soft coal is mined in the neighborhood. The town has a statue of Roland outside its city hall. Roland is a symbol who represents many small and medium-sized towns in Saxony-Anhalt, symbolising free trade and prosperity. The town also has a very old church [ citation needed ] , and a tower known as the "Hexenturm" "Witchtower" , in which the townspeople imprisoned accused witches and tortured them in the Middle Ages.
The river Saale runs on the east side of the town, and over a weir. This is a small kind of dam where the water flows over the structure allowing passage of shallow draft barges up or down — moreover rather than being channeled through it the water is used off this flow to generate energy and it raises the water level only a relatively small amount.
This takes the water between two now abandon buildings which used to harness the power of the water to mill grain into flour, and the other to make paper. After flowing between the mills the water continues on an artificial path for a couple of miles before returning to the Saale proper.
The local sports area and the swimming bath are located at the island. Login Signup. Signup Login Contact Admin. Liana 26 Calbe Saale. Verifiziertes Profil. Rimma 19 Sachsen-Anhalt. Victoria 22 Calbe Saale. Kreativ in Dominanz und Submission. Chloe 23 Calbe Saale.
