The Ohre is a
Mittellandkanal. It flows into the Elbe in Rogätz, north of Magdeburg. The towns Brome, Calvörde, Haldensleben and Wolmirstedt lie along the river. The upper course of the Ohre is in the Drömling
nature reserve.
Between the end of the
Second World War and German reunification, the Ohre separated East from West Germany and so formed part of the Inner German border
