TheMulde (German pronunciation:[ˈmʊldə]) is a river inSaxony andSaxony-Anhalt,Germany. It is a left tributary of theElbe and is 124 kilometres (77 mi) long.

The river is formed by the confluence, nearColditz, of theZwickauer Mulde (running throughZwickau) and theFreiberger Mulde (withFreiberg on its banks), both rising from theOre Mountains. From here the river runs northwards through Saxony (Grimma,Wurzen,Eilenburg,Bad Düben) and Saxony-Anhalt (Jeßnitz andDessau, the old capital ofAnhalt). The Mulde flows into the Elbe 3 kilometres (2 mi) north of Dessau.[1]

In August 2002 a flood caused severe damage, that even endangered theUNESCOWorld Heritage Site "Dessau-Wörlitzer Gartenreich" and the city Dessau.

Etymology

[edit]

Its name could be derived from Old German (possiblyGothic) "Mulda" (𐌼ᚢ𐌻ᛞᚨ), meaning "dust" and a cognate of English "mould"). But more possibly it is related to the German "mahlen" which means "to mill". Therefore, Mulde probably means "the milling river" and corresponds to the great number of water mills driven by the river in former times.
