Graph of Pleistocene glacial cycles in Europe from 600-100,000 years ago, with the Holstein interglacial labelled
The Holstein or Holsteinian interglacial (German: Holstein-Warmzeit or Holstein-Interglazial), also called the Mindel-Riss interglacial (Mindel-Riß-Interglazial) in the Alpine region, is the third to last major interglacial in Europe before the Holocene, the present warm period. It followed directly after the Elster glaciation and came before the Saale glaciation, during the Middle Pleistocene. The more precise timing was historically controversial since Holstein was commonly correlated to two different marine isotope stages, MIS 11[1] (424–374 thousand years ago[2]) and MIS 9[3] (337–300 thousand years ago[2]). Recent scholarship has supported a MIS 11 date, spanning approximately 421-395,000 years ago.[4]
