"Rugenmoor" or "Welmbüttel Moor

Welmbüttel The Moor is the extension of an almost circular area or which permits the conclusion that it was from a former lake basin or a dischargeless the past is. Over the millennia, this lake is silted up and grown in some parts of a moor. More is on the origin of Moore to read on the website of the Museum Albersdorf .
The Moor depth should be here in a few places around 10 meters.
The bog was once called "Rugenmoor ', and until 1938 the eastern approximately 61 acres placed under conservation and the bog, the term" Welmbüttel Moor "was given.
In the years of war and then was dismantled occasionally peat. The lake in the western part of the moor was left after peat cutting machine, by the company fall from Heath. There are already some pike (26 pounds) were caught.

In 1984 they began to impound lying west of the middle dam Moor part to achieve a rewetting and hence a dry to avoid the bog vegetation. This was partly in the central part with good success. The western edge of the area is good 2 - 3 m higher than the cultivated fields. Here's a qualified success has been achieved in the rewetting, especially as the bog has developed here with birch "overgrown" is. The elevated water level can be here while difficult and depends on surface water, the natural rainfall.

This drawing of the marsh area (map in 1873 , colouriert retrospectively by HH Thomsen) shows the field names, industrial classifications, pathways and use of the moor. In 1984, the eastern part of the bog (see above) with an area of about 61 ha rewetted Conservation area.

Some areas which include the Conservation Foundation .

This foundation takes care committed to the preservation of endangered species and landscapes and gratefully accepts donations of additional land parcel to the present owners. Today the landscape protection (red border approximately 133 ha) have already extended toward Gaushorn. The light parcels are managed by the Nature Conservation Foundation.

The vegetation is typical of a "natural course of the" Moor - The birches spread without natural enemies (browsing) from unlimited - Here are the future "management measures" announced. In the slide show are watching the effects of rewetting significantly.
