Geological Map of the Federal Republic of Germany 1:200,000 (GÜK200) — CC 2334 Rostock

Blatt Rostock shows an area between Wismar Bay and Darss, which reaches inland to Schwerin and covers Mecklenburg Switzerland and the Mecklenburg Lake District. As part of the North German lowlands, the morphology and geology of the area is characterised by ice ages. Quaternary curler sediments are stored on the surface, with deposits of the Vistula cold-time predominant. While in the north it is mainly the loam of the base moraines, glazifluviatile deposits also occur in the south. Glazilimnian basin diments have been preserved in the lowlands of the Rostock Heath. The clays and silts of the former meltwater lakes are partly superimposed by holocene sediments, e.g. moor deposits or limnic detritus and lime mudde. The findings of older rocks are narrow regionally limited and hardly significant, e.g. eocene clay and glauconite sandstone in the shrub moraine of the cooling at Bad Doberan, limestone of Cenomans south of Lake Malchin or Jura-Ton near Schwinz am Goldberger See. The geological diversity corresponds to a detailed legend. Symbols and legend texts provide information about the genesis and rock types of the 98 units, which are predominantly quaternary, only four prequarter, ages. Additional insights into the structure of the subsurface are provided by a geological profile, the intersection of which runs from Schwerin in northeasterly direction to the Darss. In addition to the Mesozoic and Cenozoic top layers of the North German lowlands, two salt structures, the salt cushions of Schwaan and Fresendorf, are cut.
