The Domleschg (Romansh: Tumleastga) is a valley in Graubünden in Switzerland. Geographically, the name "Domleschg" covers both sides of the valley. Politically, the villages on the left bank of the Poserior Rhine form the Kreis (sub-district) of Thusis and those on the right bank form the Kreis of Domleschg. Thusis is the main village in the valley. The northernmost locality is Rothenbrunnen, the southernmost is Sils.

Rivers


The Posterior Rhine emerges from the Schams (Romansh: Schons) valley. The Albula joins from the right. The section of the Posterior Rhine from the Albula confluence to Reichenau is mostly canalized. At Reichenau, the Posterior Rhine merges with the Anterior Rhine, forming the Rhine.


The Domleschg valley is a broad valley, surrounded by high mountains. Before the Posterior Rhine was canalized in the 19th century, it would meander all over the valley. Its natural appearance is now only visible on the last kilometers before the confluence at Reichenau.



Language


As can be inferred from the place names, people in the valley was originally spoke the Sutsilvan dialect of the Romansh language. In the 19th century, the German language started spreading from Fürstenau and Sils. For the last twenty years, all municipalities in the valley have had a German-speaking majority. The Romansh speaking minority is concentrated in the mountain villages Scheid and Feldis.



Transport


The highway A13 runs through the valley, as does a line of the Rhaetian Railway. The Postauto provides more fine-grained public transport.



Castles


The Domleschg is strategically positioned on the route to three main Alpine passes: the Splügen Pass, the San Bernardino Pass and the Julier Pass. To control this route, castles were built, making the Domleschg one of the Swiss regions richest in castles. From north to south, they are Hochjuvalt and Innerjuvalt in Rothenbrunnen, Ortenstein in Tomils, Hasensprung in Pratval, Old Süns and New-Süns in Paspels, Rietberg in Pratval again, Heinzenberg Castle in Präz on the left bank, Baldenstein in Sils and Campbell, Ehrenfels Hohenrätien and Obertagstein above Thusis.


A hiking trail named Burgenpfad Domleschg provides easy access to all these castles.

Volkswagen Group MQB platform

Image
The Volkswagen Group MQB platform is the company's strategy for shared modular design construction of its transverse, front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout (optional front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout) automobiles. Volkswagen spent roughly $60bn [1] developing this new platform and the cars employing it. The platform underpins a wide range of cars from the supermini class to the mid size SUV class. MQB allows Volkswagen to assemble any of its cars based on this platform across all of its MQB ready factories. This allows the Volkswagen group flexibility to shift production as needed between its different factories. Beginning in 2012, Volkswagen Group marketed the strategy under the code name MQB , which stands for Modularer Querbaukasten , translating from German to "Modular Transversal Toolkit" or "Modular Transverse Matrix". [2] [3] MQB is one strategy within VW's overall MB (Modularer Baukasten or modular matrix) program which also includes th...
