The area is in the east of Büchig (part of Blankenloch in the city of Stutensee in the district of Karlsruhe ), but in the area of ​​the city of Karlsruhe , whose residential area Reitschulschlag in the district of Hagsfeld adjoins to the southwest. Motorway 5 runs through the area .

The landscape protection area is formed by a damp forest with characteristics of the alder forest, alder, ash and hornbeam forest as well as open land in the Vokkenau with meadows, orchards, fields and gardens. The area is traversed by numerous natural and man-made bodies of water such as the Alte Bach and the Pfinz , the Pfinz relief canal , the Gießbach , the Beungraben, the Weidgraben and the Füllbruchgraben. The Füllbruch is designated as a protective forest.

In the event of an exceptional flood in the Pfinz, the filling quarry can be used as a retention area for 2 million cubic meters of water. The water is supplied via the Pfinz relief canal in the south; the polder empties over the Pfinz overpass in the north.

Toponymy and History

The name of the landscape protection area is made up of the names of the Füllbruch and Vokkenau tubs . Both names can be documented for the 16th century, when the area belonged to the city of Durlach . Vokkenau (also Vockenau or Fockenau ) is traced back to the old German male name Focko . Füllbruch is derived from foals and refers to the earlier use as Durlach cattle pasture. Parts of the filling quarry were still being used for agriculture in the 19th century.

Landscape protection has existed since January 1988.
