The Bessunger Troellenteich (also: "Bessunger Teich" and "Klappacher Wasser") is a still water in Darmstadt-Bessungen in southern Hesse at the foot of the Odenwald . It has been under nature protection as a large natural monument area of the trout pond since 1981 .
Origin and history
In the 16th or 17th century - on today's Klappacher Straße west of the Böllenfalltor - three fish ponds were created by damming the Saubach, the largest and most western of which was called the “Bessunger pond”. This pond was a popular bathing pond in the 19th century, especially after a bathing establishment with five cabins and a diving board was established here shortly after 1850. In 1860 the pond was drained because the municipality of Bessungen drained the water for the new artillery barracks on Heidelberger Straße.
The pond is namesake for the house built in 1906 on the trout pond .
The Bessunger trout pond today
The Herrgottsbergbach, flowing from the Goetheteich on Herrgottsberg , flows today into the Bessunger Troutenteich, from which the Saubach feeds.
fauna
There are numerous animal species on the area that are protected, worth protecting or endangered:
