Alte Elbe (lit. Old Elbe)[1] is the German name for oxbows of the Elbe, i.e. cut-off meanders. With about 20 km (12 mi) the largest one of these is the Dornburger Alte Elbe, a river of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.
It branches of the Elbe near Dornburg,[2] a district of Gommern. It flows into the Elbe at Magdeburg.[3]
