Luhe (Ilmenau)


Luhe is a river of Lower Saxony, Germany.
The Luhe runs through the Lüneburg Heath and discharges into the Ilmenau. It is part of the Elbe river system.
The entire catchment area of the Luhe has been heavily populated since the New Stone Age as evinced by sites like the monuments at Soderstorf and the Oldendorfer Totenstatt grave sites. At the height of the present-day town of Winsen a bridge over the Luhe was controlled by from the 13th century onwards.
