Stassfurter Kalisalzlagerstätte, Sachsen-Anhalt, Deutschland
Salt production at the Staßfurter Sattel has been proven to date back to the 8th century. The subsoil of the urban area of Staßfurt is formed by a geological anticline structure, the Staßfurt-Egelner-Rogensteinsattel, to which the salt deposits are bound. The region around Staßfurt on the southern edge of the Magdeburger Börde is considered the cradle of global potash mining.
Potash salts, previously known as “Staßfurt salts”, are largely processed into fertilizers and have therefore been of great importance for agriculture for over a century and a half.
