The impact of the stratification and bedding of the Middle Lower Triassic Bunter Sandstone on the distribution of landslides in Quaternary sediments on top of the bedrock is studied in the upper Weser basin in northern Hesse and southern Lower Saxony. Investigations were carried out to determine to what extent the parallel course of the aspect of landslide-prone slopes and the direction of stratification of the bedrock cause shallow landslides in hillslope deposits. A new concept of "angle difference" which is understood as the difference between the direction of bedrock stratification and aspect of slopes susceptible to landslide hazards is used to quantify possible correlations. The angle difference is identified as one of different process factors and it is used, together with further controlling factors, as a parameter in a susceptibility model to simulate the spatial distribution of potential landslide hazards in the study area.
