Pleiße
Encyclopedia : P : PL : PLE : Pleiße
The Pleiße is a tributary of the Weiße Elster in Saxony. It has its source southwest of Zwickau at Ebersbrunn, then flows through Werdau, Crimmitschau, Altenburg, and other cities in Saxony and Thüringen, before meeting the Weiße Elster in Leipzig.
The river naturally had a length of 115 km; however, south of Leipzig, it has been straightened, which shortened it to around 90 km.
