The nature reserve Affelderchen and Radichbruch von Klein-Welzheim (NSG identification 1438007) is located in the Hessian district of Offenbach . It comprises around 51.23 hectares of forest, which is located in the urban area of Seligenstadt .

Area description

The nature reserve is located between the Seligenstadt district of Klein-Welzheim in the north and the state road L 2310 in the south in the Seligenstädter Senke natural area. Various types of orchid ( Dactylorhiza and Epipactis species), fever clover ( Menyanthes trifoliata ), swamp and meadow iris ( Iris pseudacorus and Iris sibirica ) and marsh fern ( Thelypteris palustris ) can be named as floristic features. The species-rich meadows are cared for by an adapted mowing concept for the optimal season. As a result, the plant population has developed positively in recent years. In Affelderchen breed among others backed Shrike and reed warbler , the cuckoo occurs as a breeding parasite. The oriole is a regular breeding bird in the radish break. Occasionally woodcock can also be observed in the radish quarry . Since at least 2015, raccoons have also been spreading more and more in the water-rich nature reserve and the surrounding area as a neozoon , which can also be proven by the increasing number of wildlife accidents with small bears along the L 2310.

Protection purpose

According to the ordinance of February 25, 1983, the protection purpose is the preservation and development of the nature reserve as a site for a variety of plant species in Hesse and the Federal Republic of Germany that are endangered, as well as a breeding and food biotope for several equally endangered bird species and the preservation and development of a landscape-defining and landscape structuring element in the sub-main level.
