The Mulde, also known as the United Mulde or Vereinigte Mulde, is a left-hand, non-navigable tributary of the Elbe. It originates southeast of Leipzig near Sermuth (Saxony) through the confluence of two large source rivers, the longer Zwickau Mulde and the Freiberger Mulde, which has a larger discharge and drains a larger catchment area.The river's catchment area encompasses large parts of Saxony and, in particular, the vast majority of the northern slopes of the Ore Mountains. With a water flow of approximately 73 m³/s at its mouth,[8] it is the fourth largest tributary of the Elbe.The old form of the Mulde's name, Milda, is translated by onomastics as "the watery one."[9] The word component "Mel," referring to milling, is sometimes associated with the name due to the large number of mills that once operated on the river, which ignores the fact that river names represent the oldest, often Slavic or Celtic, geographical name layer.

The Mulde River runs exclusively in the North German Plain, initially flowing through the Saxon Hills and passing Grimma, Nerchau, and Trebsen. Approximately near Wurzen, along the western edge of which it runs, the Mulde reaches the Elbe-Mulde Lowland. It then flows through Eilenburg and Bad Düben, and shortly thereafter leaves Saxon territory. The Mulde covers the rest of its course to its mouth in Saxony-Anhalt.The Mulde continued to flow west of the two towns of Pouch and Friedersdorf in the area of today's Goitzschesee until 1975. Since then, it has been dammed east of the two towns in the Mulde Reservoir – a former open-cast mine. The Mulde then flows past Muldenstein, Jeßnitz, Raguhn, and Dessau, and flows into the Elbe between Dessau and Roßlau after a distance of 147 km.[2]The "Wilde Mulde" revitalization project for the lower reaches of the river in Dessau was recognized as an official project of the UN Decade on Biodiversity in November 2018.[11][12]
