The nature reserve Briesensee and Klingeberg is a 79.19  hectare nature reserve in Teupitz in the district of Dahme-Spreewald in Brandenburg .

Location and history

The reserve is located within the boundaries of the Teupitzer hamlet Tornow on the southern and south-western shore of Tornower lake . It includes the Briesensee , the south and south-west banks of the Tornower See as well as the adjacent slopes.

Flora and fauna

The aim of the protection is, in particular, “the preservation of communities and habitats of wild animal and plant species, in particular the source areas, flowing and standing water habitats with their source corridors, aquatic plant and reed communities, the near-natural mixed pine forests, the extensive stocks of ferns - and wintergreen plants on the moraine slopes, the autochthonous old pines on the Tornower See and Briesensee as well as the alder quarries and bog wood in the bank and silting areas, the clay and loam pits and the small areas of wet meadows, the animal species specifically adapted to spring and water habitats such as Insects and mollusks as well as the occurrence of partly endangered birds of prey. ”. Some of the pines are over 220 years old. This is proven by genetic studies by the Leibniz Center for Agricultural Landscape Research in Müncheberg . Strictly protected plant species grow in the area, such as the yellow pond rose , crab claw , fever clover , dragon root , and the umbel winter love . The air is from Kingfisher , the black and green woodpecker , the warbler and reed warbler populated; The common frog , the moor frog and the otter live on land and water .

The Klingespring spring is located on a slope opposite the south bank of the Tornower See. It already appears on a map of the Staakow Forestry Office in 1936 and is therefore one of the oldest natural monuments in the region. The name goes back to the Upper German word blade for gorge and means something like gorge source in connection with the English word spring for source . It is a seepage source , in which the rainwater flows above the source through sandy, water-permeable material, seeps into the slope and returns to the surface at a water-retaining layer. At an earlier time there was said to have been a carillon that was driven by the escaping water. The source was created around 10,000 years ago during the last ice age. In the source area, the swamp forget-me-nots , fontinalis , the real watercress and the brook bunge thrive , which indicates a special quality of the water. The water outlet removes sand that is deposited as an alluvial cone in Tornower See . The evergreen potted fern grows above the slope . The protection of the source goes back to the botanist Adolf Strauss (1904–1986), to whom NABU Dahmeland erected a memorial stone on a hiking trail that connects the Tornower See with the Briesensee.

development

The water quality of the Briesensee is described as poor, which also has an impact on the condition of the Briesensee trench. Due to a lack of farm forest and litter use , the wintergreen and bear moss species have declined sharply in recent decades. Tent sites, which led to an impairment of flora and fauna during the GDR era , were completely dismantled after 1990.
