geography

course

Recent floodplain of the oak forest ditch with moist tall herbaceous vegetation east of Marthweg between Weiherhaus and Pillenreuth (2017)

The Eichenwaldgraben rises southeast of the Nuremberg district Worzeldorf in the Lorenzer Reichswald , flows westward along the Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal , then through Worzeldorf, crosses some fish ponds near Herpersdorf and passes Weiherhaus. In a narrow strip between settlement areas, meadows in the valley floor were shut down and cared for by the Federal Nature Conservation Federation with the help of farmers, and hedges with berry bushes and tall fruit trees (pears, apples and service trees) were planted.

The Eichwaldgraben crosses under the Main-Danube Canal and flows through alluvial forests as well as oak and hornbeam forests before it flows into a pond in Reichelsdorf together with the Entengraben . The pond is drained by the Entengraben and this flows into the Rednitz at Gerasmühle ( Nürnberg-Eibach ) . There is an arboretum on the opposite bank .

inflow

In the Eichenwaldgraben in the Eibacher Forst before Reichelsdorf, from the left and from the southwest, the Gaulnhofer Graben, which is around four kilometers long, flows into it .

nature and environment

ecology

The pollution of the oak forest ditch is moderate up to the outskirts of Reichelsdorf (quality class II) and then becomes critical (quality class II-III). In the Nuremberg zoning plan of 2006, maintenance plans were defined for the 23 most important water systems. At the Eichenwaldgraben in Reichelsdorf, the watercourse is to be made continuous again and rigid bank reinforcements removed. The city of Nuremberg works together with residents, nature conservation associations, schools, civic associations and the landscape conservation association.

In 1300 the Zeidelgut Pillenreuth was named on a royal clearing at the Eichenwaldgraben.

Protected areas

  • The 344 hectare landscape between the port, Reichelsdorf, Neukatzwang, Weiherhaus and Gaulnhofen is designated as a nature  reserve Eichenwaldgraben - Stockweiher .
  • The Eichenwaldgraben flows east of Marthweg within the EU bird sanctuary Nuremberg Reichswald . 

traffic

In the 1960s, an S-Bahn branch from Reichelsdorf via Weiherhaus to Langwasser was planned in the Weiherhaus / Herpersdorf area on a wide strip of green along the Eichenwaldgraben. According to the current project of a light rail to Kornburg, this should run along the oak forest ditch.
