Nature and wildlife

The Aschau flowing in from Unterlüß flows through Eschede , whose headwaters lie in the “Loher Teichen” and which then forms the large “Aschautiche” pond area . The ponds of the Samtgemeinde have a total area of ​​348 hectares. The pond areas have been part of a water protection area since 1982 . In 1987 they were also designated as a bird sanctuary . The area has been an EU bird sanctuary since 2003 and has been assigned to FFH area 86 "Lachte-Lutter-Aschau" as part of the EU nature conservation project Natura2000 since 2005 .

Since Eschede lies on the edge of a very large forest area, the rutting of the red deer in Starkshorn near Eschede is an autumnal, noisy attraction that attracts spectators with license plates from all over Lower Saxony. Almost 200 hinds gather there on the meadows every year. Wooded connections not only to the north via Unterlüß , but also to the military training areas Munster and Bergen or via Fuhrberg to the vicinity of Burgwedel (see Lüßwald ), also ensure the spread of the wolf, which is already multiplying there in large numbers . In February 2014, a photo trap was used to detect two adult wolves in the Eschede area, which have now formed their own pack .

  • Manor house in Lohe (Eschede), near the Loher ponds

  • The ash oak

  • The Aschau shortly after leaving the pond

  • The Aschau shortly before Eschede in the alder forest

  • Quarmbach wetland, tributary of the Aschau (near Eschede)

In addition to the Aschau ponds and the Loher ponds, there are even larger pond areas on the Hanover – Hamburg railway line , which were created around 1845 when the sand was excavated for the embankment of this route. There are also many moors and swamps around Eschede and other ponds, which are often hidden in the surrounding forests.

economy

Original Eschede dairy, Bahnhofstrasse

In 1907, Holsteiner Diedrich Bornholdt founded a dairy on Bahnhofstrasse . In 1923 August Strauss GmbH & Co. KG emerged. Initially, due to the initially low milk supply, it only traded raw milk. By 1949 the number of milk producers rose continuously to 170 farms. The processing techniques changed constantly. In 1973 the milk supply was switched from cans to tank trucks. In 1986 August Strauss's son took over the business, which was then run under the company Molkerei Eschede Günter Strauss GmbH, Gartenstrasse 11. On December 31, 2018, the dairy, which was last supplied by 46 farms , was closed and production stopped.
