ecology

Protected area

The Bleidenbach flows through the 142.44 hectare SG FFH area forest areas southwest of Weilmünster . Numerous plant and animal species live and thrive in the local grove, beech , bedstraw, oak, hornbeam and ravine and mixed slope forests with standing and lying deadwood, cave trees and tree species typical of the habitat, as well as in the moist tall herbaceous meadows and lean, lowland hay meadows. The Bechstein's bat , the great mouse-eared bat , the dark and the light blue-buttoned blue ant are found there.

Slurry accident 2017

On the morning of October 5, 2017, due to a leak in a silo in a biogas plant on the farm of a farm in Laubuseschbach in the community of Weilmünster, 500 of a total of 600 cubic meters of liquid manure flowed into the water. The fish population was completely destroyed. From there, the liquid manure with its high levels of bound nitrogen , phosphorus and potassium reached the Weil region, and fish died there too . For the regeneration of the Bleidenbach, the Weil and the Lahn, the authorities commissioned a specialist company to clean the creek and flush the two rivers properly.

Bach sponsor

The brook is looked after by the Oberlahn fishing sports club in 1885.
