Litho‐ and Pedogenesis of slope positions of the Sandstone Odenwald Hilly slope positions of the Odenwald in SW‐Germany are characterised by solifluction deposits which were formed from mesozoic sandstone during the glacial age. The evaluation of texture and heavy mineral analysis showed different amounts of loess in different layers of the solifluction deposits. Clay migration seems to be the main reason for differences in clay content between soil horizons and took place mainly in deposits with low loess contents. These are also the deposits in which a pronounced podzolization took place.
