The Rötgesbütteler Riede , also known as Übütteler Riede or Dingbanksriede, is a brook on the central Papenteich plateau with a catchment area of ​​around 40 km² between Braunschweig and Gifhorn . The stream flows in the lower reaches of the Alten Hehlenriede into the Allerkanal and belongs to the Aller river system .

topography

The brook rises southeast of Rötgesbüttel in a deciduous forest between the places Rethen and Rötgesbüttel. The stream flows from its source in a northerly direction past Rötgesbüttel. On the northern edge of the village, it takes up treated wastewater from the local ponds. In its course the brook follows roughly the course of the federal highway 4 and the railway line Braunschweig – Wieren between Meine and Übüttel . Here the stream flows into the "old Hehlenriede", the former riverbed of the Hehlenriede . The construction of the Allerkanal changed the stream underflows, so that parts of the former Hehlenriede now only exist as underflows of other streams. The Rötgesbütteler Riede flows into the Allerkanal over the "old Hehlenriede".

history

In the early days the brook was in the middle of the northern forest . Before the Papenteich was settled in the course of the Saxon Wars, probably from the 8th century, there was a ding site southeast of Rötgesbüttel on the brook. The former name Dingbanksriede also refers to this old Dingstätte. Thing places were places for people and court assemblies according to the old Germanic law .

Flora and fauna

The Rötgesbütteler Riede is a very straightened and artificially deepened body of water that partially dries out in the summer months. The stream runs in its upper course through a deciduous forest, later mainly through green areas with only a few shady trees. Due to the strong sunlight, the stream becomes very herbaceous in summer. As usual in the Lüneburg Heath, the bottom of the water in the upper course consists of sand and fine gravel. After the inflow from the clarification ponds, the bottom is mainly covered by digested sludge.

The water quality report of the state of Lower Saxony could not classify the stream due to the frequent dry falls. It was found that the pollution caused by the sewage in the course of the creek has declined significantly. The lower reaches could therefore be classified as moderately polluted (quality class II-III).

Running water organisms are largely absent in the Rötgesbütteler Riede. Nevertheless, there are 10 animal species that are on the Red List of Lower Saxony:
