	Swabia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fearing the power of the greater princes, the cities and smaller secular rulers of Swabia joined together to form the Swabian League in the 15th century.
		The League was quite successful, notably expelling the Duke of Württemberg in 1519 and putting in his place a Habsburg governor, but the league broke up a few years later over religious differences inspired by the Reformation, and the Duke of Württemberg was soon restored.
		There are many Swabian settlements outside of the European continent, found in Brazil, Canada, and the United States.

		The Swabian Alb was formed during the tertiary, when the sediments of the Jurassic sea rose due to tectonic movements in the upper Rhine valley which were accompanied by the lifting of the Black Forest region (Geyer & Gwinner 1986).
		Geomorphologically, the Swabian Alb therefore exhibits two strikingly different structures: the northern "Kuppenalb" is characterized by its hilly relief (domes of former Jurassic coral and sponge reefs which were carved out during that period), the southern "Flächenalb" is flat and only structured by some valleys (Geyer & Gwinner 1983, Bauer & Schönnamsgruber 1988).
		In its longitudinal expansion the Swabian Alb is generally subdivided into three sections, the southwestern Alb, the central Alb (including the town of Münsingen), and the eastern Alb (Figure 3).

	Swabian Alb, Germany
		The Swabian Alb, an upland region of Jurassic limestone of about 700m/2,300ft in height, extends for 210km/130mi, varying in width between 15km/9mi and 40km/25mi, from the southeastern edge of the Black Forest, where it reaches a height of 1015m/3,330ft in the Lemberg, to the Ries depression around Nördlingen.
		In the northwest the hills drop down to the valleys of the Neckar, the Fils and the Rems in a steep scarp some 400m/1,300ft high, which is broken up by valleys reaching deeply into the hills (several ruined castles are perched on outlying crags).
		To the southeast, the Alb slopes gently down to the Danube in a gently undulating plateau of permeable limestone, through which most surface water seeps away, forming caverns, swallowholes and dry valleys.

	About Us
		The Alb is a chain of mountains which runs through Southern Germany from the Rhine between Schaffhausen and Lake Constance to the Upper Main like a kind of backbone.
		The part which lies in the Swabian area is the continuation of the Swiss Jura and runs 220 kilometers to the basin of the Ries crater near Noerdlingen.
		The Alb mountains themselves are made up of the Brown Jura, which forms the hilly area in front of the Alb, and the limestone of the White Jura which forms the steep slope and the Karst mountain plateau.

	Chert/Hornstein from the Southern Franconian Alb (Kelheim Region) on Flintsource.Net
		The Franconian Alb is, together with its Eastern extension the Swabian Alb, the major geographical feature of Southern Germany.
		The traditional geographical divide between the Swabian Alb and the Franconian Alb is the Ries near Nördlingen, a very large Tertiary crater formed by the impact of a big meteorite in the Upper Miocene.
		Although the area belongs to the Thetys in a wider sense, it is the Northern shelf of the oceanic basin, mostly characterized by small basins separated by reefs.

	Danube - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, before the last ice age in the Pleistocene, the Rhine started at the southwestern tip of the Black Forest, while the waters from the Alps that today feed the Rhine were carried east by the so-called Urdonau (original Danube).
		Parts of this ancient river's bed, which was much larger than today's Danube, can still be seen in (now waterless) canyons in today's landscape of the Swabian Alb.
		Since the Swabian Alb is largely shaped of porous limestone, and since the Rhine's level is much lower than the Danube's, today subsurface rivers carry much water from the Danube to the Rhine.
