Excerpt: The Aller is a river, 211 kilometres (131 mi) long, in the states of Saxony-Anhalt and Lower Saxony in Germany. It is a right-hand, and hence eastern, tributary of the River Weser and is also its largest tributary. Its last 117 kilometres (73 mi) form the Lower Aller federal waterway (Bundeswasserstrasse). The Aller was extensively straightened, widened and, in places, dyked, during the 1960s to provide flood control of the river. In a 20 kilometres (12 mi) long section near Gifhorn the river meanders in its natural river bed. The river's name, which was recorded in 781 as Alera, in 803 as Elera, in 1096 as Alara, has two possible derivations: Section of the Upper Aller near Gifhorn with the Aller Canal, the only remaining part of the river with tight meanders.The Aller rises in the state of Saxony-Anhalt in the west of the region known as the Magdeburg Borde near Seehausen and north of Oschersleben (Bode). It has several source streams that run down the northeastern side of the Hohes Holz within the municipal boundaries of Wormsdorf (part of Gehringsdorf), Ovelgunne (part of Siegersleben) and Eggenstedt. The Eggenstedt tributary is the most southerly of the source streams. Th
