The Old Rhine-Königsee is a nature reserve in the natural area Northern Upper Rhine valley in Baden-Württemberg and is located east of the former village of Alt-Dettenheim .

geography

The nature reserve is in the area of ​​today's municipality of Dettenheim , formerly Liedolsheim .

history

Together with the Weingartener Moor , the Altrhein-Königsee is the oldest nature reserve in the Karlsruhe district. The Königsee originated from an arm of the old Rhine and, like the entire Dettenheimer Rhine lowlands, belongs to the Natura 2000 areas.

description

The area was designated as a nature reserve by ordinance on March 9, 1942 by the Baden Ministry of Culture and Education and has an area of ​​almost 12 hectares. It is listed under the protected area number 2.016 and is classified in IUCN Category IV as a biotope and species protection area. The CDDA code is 81279 and also corresponds to the WDPA ID .

At the time when this remnant of a largely closed old Rhine loop with a well-developed pond rose society, sea ​​can , reed beds and sedge beds was placed under protection , in addition to a conspicuously species-rich world of small animals, the suitability as a breeding site for numerous marsh and water birds was important. So were bittern and little bittern mentioned by name. The former has long since disappeared as a breeding bird - as in the entire state of Baden-Württemberg.

Flora and fauna

Greylag geese in the Altrhein-Königsee nature reserve

Despite its small size and although significant occurrences have been extinct since the time of the protection, there are still significant residual occurrences for some species here. Thus, Kingfisher , bluethroat , harrier , water rail and little grebe still regular breeding birds. The moor frog has its largest occurrence in the country here. One of the numerous dragonfly species that can be found here is the Zierliche Moosjungfer , one of the rarest dragonfly species in Germany. It flies from mid-May to the end of June and has its last location in almost all of Baden-Württemberg here or in the Rhine lowlands near Karlsruhe. The smallest Central European bat species, the mosquito bat , whose largest nursery of this species to date was recorded in Germany on the opposite side of the Rhine in an old brickworks near Sondernheim , is a regular visitor .
