Geology in Münsterland

“Geology in Münsterland” deals with the history of this landscape in the north of Westphalia, its geological characteristics and its natural location factors. The landscape name “Münsterland” must, however, be further understood here than the landscape designation, for example, due to historical territories or cultural and economic relations. The geology of a region characterised by a common earth-historical past is described. It includes in the east with the chalk chains of the Teutoburg Forest, the Egge and the Paderborn plateau also peripheral areas of the Weserbergland, in the west and northeast are inevitably excursions to the Lower Rhine and to the Emsland, and in the south are the Hellweg villages as well as the Westernhellweg and the Emscherland — i.e. parts of the Ruhr area — included."明斯特兰地质（Geology in Münsterland）"聚焦于威斯特伐利亚北部区域的地貌演化史、地质特征与自然区位条件。不过此处的"明斯特兰"这一地貌称谓，其内涵需超越常规的地貌区划范畴，需结合历史疆域、文化与经济关联予以解读。本数据集将阐述这片拥有统一地质演化历程的区域的地质特征：其东部涵盖条顿堡森林（Teutoburg Forest）的白垩链带、埃格山脉（Egge）与帕德博恩高原（Paderborn plateau），亦包含威悉山地（Weserbergland）的外围区域；西部与东北部则必然涉及下莱茵地区（Lower Rhine）与埃姆斯兰（Emsland）；南部则囊括黑尔维希古道村落（Hellweg villages）、西黑尔维希古道（Westernhellweg）与埃姆斯彻河谷（Emscherland）——即鲁尔区（Ruhr area）的部分区域。
