Culture and sights

Duck catching plan around 1750

The Entenfang , 2 km northwest of Boye, is a cultural and historical specificity. It is a duck fishing facility from the 17th century. Tame lure ducks attracted passing wild ducks and caught them alive. As early as 1649, Duke Christian Ludwig zu Braunschweig-Lüneburg had the Wittbeck brook diverted to the Boyer pond in order to ensure a steady water level for the fish farming that was already there. His brother Georg Wilhelm had a duck bunk built based on the Dutch model in 1690 . The pond complex with yard was manorial until 1782, was sold and has had numerous owners since then. Among other things, Ernst von Schrader was the owner from 1892 to 1911 , who also owned the ponds at Gut Sunder . In 1937 the pond area became a landscape protection area and in 1976 a water game reserve. The duck catching Boye with the Bruchbach belong to the FFH area Lower Saxony (registration no. 3226-331). Fishing and the live catch of ducks are no longer of economic importance here. The systems are maintained by the current owner from private funds.
