Protected areas

Nature reserves

A nature reserve (NSG) is a strictly protected area. In Germany, nature reserves are defined by or on the basis of laws. Colloquially, the term nature reserve also describes all protected areas in nature and landscape protection . Areas are often designated as nature reserves which are important for the preservation of the flora and fauna, often also for scenic and geographic features. The aim is to place plant and animal species under protection in their area of ​​distribution. Areas are also designated as nature reserves if they are considered worthy of protection for scientific or natural history reasons, because of their uniqueness or special beauty. These are often biotopes such as moorland , heathland , mountainous landscapes or forests . In nature reserves, agricultural use, leaving the publicly marked trails and lighting fires are mostly prohibited.

In the Lake Constance district there are 33 nature reserves with a total area of ​​around 1,217  hectares ; this corresponds to a share of 1.83 percent of the area of ​​the circle.

The following, sortable list contains all nature reserves in the Lake Constance district; Names and numbers correspond to the official designations, the protected area number results from the administrative district (4 = Tübingen administrative district ) and a consecutive number within the district.

Landscape protection areas

In Germany, the landscape protection area (LSG) is one of the options for area-related nature protection provided by the Federal Nature Conservation Act (BNatSchG). The federal states determine which areas can be designated as landscape protection areas . They also determine the form in which the landscape protection areas are marked. Paragraph 26 of the BNatSchG stipulates that landscape protection areas should serve the preservation and development of nature, impairments of the natural balance should be eliminated and the performance and functionality restored. This happens because of the diversity and uniqueness of the landscape, its cultural and historical importance or its special importance for recreation.

In the Lake Constance district, there are 27 protected landscape areas with a total area of ​​9,114.64 hectares; this corresponds to a share of 13.71 percent of the area of ​​the circle.

The following, sortable list contains all landscape protection areas in the Lake Constance district; Names and numbers correspond to the official designations, the protected area number results from the administrative district (4 =  Tübingen administrative district ) and a consecutive number within the district.

FFH areas

The Fauna-Flora-Habitat Directive , or Habitat Directive for short, is a nature conservation directive of the European Union that was adopted in 1992 . Together with the Birds Directive , it essentially serves to implement the Bern Convention ; one of its main tools is a coherent network of protected areas called Natura 2000 .

The correct German name for the Habitats Directive is Council Directive 92/43 / EEC of May 21, 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and wild animals and plants . In Germany, however, the term FFH directive is used almost exclusively, which is derived from fauna (= animals), flora (= plants) and habitat (= habitat).

Eleven FFH areas with a total area of ​​3,900.78 hectares are designated in the Lake Constance district; this corresponds to a share of 5.87 percent of the area of ​​the circle.

The following, sortable list contains all FFH areas in the Lake Constance district. Names and numbers correspond to the official designations.

Bird sanctuaries

A European bird sanctuary or Special Protection Area (SPA) is a protected area, the basis of which was laid in 1979 in Article 4 (1) of the Birds Directive of the European Union (EU). These areas are part of the Europe-wide Natura 2000 biotope network . The concept of bird sanctuaries across Europe serves in particular to protect migratory birds , which rely on rest stops on their migratory routes in order to look for food and to be able to rest. The European bird sanctuaries are subject to the protection criteria of the Fauna-Flora-Habitat Directive. As the implementation by the EU member states was in some cases very slow, nature conservation associations named so-called Important Bird Areas , which they proposed for designation as European bird sanctuaries.

In the Lake Constance district there are three European bird sanctuaries with a total area of ​​882.98 hectares; this corresponds to a share of 1.33 percent of the area of ​​the circle.

The following, sortable list contains all SPA areas in the Lake Constance district; Names and numbers correspond to the official designations.

Spell forests

The term Bannwald generally means a piece of forest that is worth preserving as a whole - or a special form of it. In German-speaking countries, the term “Bannwald” generally denotes a protective forest (avalanche, rock fall, debris flow and flood protection), or protected forest areas for reasons of nature and environmental protection or as a recreational area. The forestry use is still allowed and is even expressly desired in the case of protective forests, but prohibited in the core areas of nature reserves. In Section 32 of the Forest Act, the protected forest in Baden-Württemberg is defined as “ a forest reserve left to itself ”.

In the Lake Constance district there is a protected forest with an area of ​​35.50 hectares. This corresponds to less than one percent of the area of ​​the circle.

Already forests

As Schonwald is called in Baden-Wuerttemberg a protected forest area in which the economic use of the forest is allowed, but is subject to certain restrictions. The term is not used in other German-speaking regions or, at best, is used colloquially. Schonwald is defined in Section 32 of the Baden-Württemberg Forest Act as follows: “ Schonwald is a forest reserve in which a certain forest community with its animal and plant species, a certain stand structure or a certain forest biotope is to be maintained, developed or renewed. The forest authority determines maintenance measures with the consent of the forest owner. "

In the Lake Constance district there are two protected forests with a total area of ​​137.80 hectares. This also corresponds to a proportion of less than one percent of the area of ​​the circle.

Natural monuments and biotopes

Natural monuments

The natural monument is a landscape element that is under nature protection . This is a single property or an area with a small area of ​​up to five hectares. The latter is a surface natural monument and as such is clearly separated from its surroundings. The natural monument is often referred to as a natural creation, but can at the same time be a witness of the historical cultural landscape , for example striking individual trees or outcrops with special geological formations. In Germany, the protection of natural monuments is anchored in Section 28 of the Federal Nature Conservation Act and in the state nature conservation laws. The protection is based on the rarity , peculiarity or beauty of the natural monument as well as its value for science , local history and understanding of nature and includes an extensive prohibition of change. Further details are regulated by legal ordinances on the basis of the respective national law.

In the Lake Constance district there are 28 natural monuments with a total area of ​​40.46 hectares and 147 individual objects with a total area of ​​1.05 hectares.

Biotopes

A biotope is a specific habitat of a community that occurs in this area ( biocenosis ). Biotopes are the smallest units of the biosphere . In the field of nature conservation and landscape management, biotopes are assigned to biotope types from a pragmatic point of view . The habitat protection is a strategy within the nature conservation. As a rule, its aim is to preserve populations of endangered animal and plant species that are worthy of protection through special protection and preservation of their habitats. The opposite (or: complementary) is (direct) species protection . A typical instrument of biotope protection is the designation of protected areas. Areas are to be defined and maintained in which the protection of nature has priority over land use, or in which at least nature conservation concerns must be taken into account when using them.
