Dune fir bush
The Tannenbusch dune is an inland dune and has been a seven-hectare nature reserve in the Tannenbusch district of Bonn since 1989 . In 2009 the regulation was renewed.
The dune was formed a good 10,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age. At that time, winds blew the sand of the Rhine here and piled up the chain of dunes. Originally it was 600 meters wide and 8 kilometers long. During the period under French occupation from 1794, mass graves were laid in the Tannenbusch dune. At the beginning of the 19th century, the area was then fenced and planted to prevent the sand from being blown onto the surrounding fields. The dune surrounds the Tannenbusch HICOG settlement that was built in the early 1950s on two sides .
