Fiener break
The Fiener Bruch is an extensive, flat, lowland landscape that stretches from Jerichower Land in northeast Saxony-Anhalt to the Potsdam-Mittelmark district and the independent city of Brandenburg an der Havel in western Brandenburg . It lies entirely within the Baruther glacial valley between the Hohen Fläming in the south and the Karower Platte in the north. In the 17th century, Georg von Angern , who had previously bought Dretzel Castle , ordered the Fiener Bruch to be drained. In 1779 Frederick the Great inspected the Fiener Bruch.
Large areas of the Rivendell are designated as a Fiener Bruch bird sanctuary ( SPA area ). It is an internationally important breeding site from the extinction of endangered species and resting place for migratory birds. The Fiener Bruch is one of the only three breeding areas left for the extremely rare Great Bustard, which is threatened with extinction . In 2012, 33 animals were counted in Fiener Bruch and around 60 in 2015. Among migratory birds, for example, up to 10,000 birds of this species are counted during the spring migration of the golden plover . Up to 40,000 lapwing can be seen here in autumn . A central part of the bird sanctuary is also placed under protection as the Fiener Bruch nature reserve .
With the Belziger landscape meadows , which are located a few kilometers southeast of the Fiener Bruch, as well as the Flemmingwiesen east of the Luckenwalde valley and the Oberspreewald , the Bruch forms one of the historic lowlands in the Baruther glacial valley.
The break is mostly muddy . A quarry forest originally grew on the peat . After the quarry has been drained and cleared, extensive meadows can be found . The break is mostly used as grassland . Rivers in the Bruch are the Buckau with its tributaries, Buckauer Hauptgraben (in the upper reaches as Kobser Bach ), the Hauptgraben, the Zitzer Landgraben , the Karower Landgraben , the Holzbuckau and the Verlorenwasser .
South of the Fiener Bruch, flowing ice-age meltwater washed into the glacial valley, creating fine-sand alluvial cones that narrow the break at this point. On the westerly through the Buckau been washed alluvial fan with the developed pine forested Bücknitzer Heath , on the eastern, established by the Verlorenwasser the Wenzlower Heide .
On average, only 13 people live in one square kilometer in Fiener Bruch, although the edges are more populated. Places at the break're Too Brandenburg belonging Mahlenzien , bucks in Wenzlow who Rosenau belonging villages Viesen , Rogäsen and chintz , Karow which the town Jerichow belongs and the Genthiner districts Fienerode , Dretzel and Tucheim of lying in a fraction Vorwerk Königsrode . At its narrowest point west of Rye, the Fiener Bruch has been crossed by a road over the Fiener Damm at least since the Middle Ages .
Origin of name
The part of the name Fiener goes back to documents at the beginning of the second millennium. 1009 was in a document of "Uinár", 1178 of "Vinre". In 1574 there was talk of "ab amne Finna influente". Thus U changed to V and later to F. It is believed that it was originally the name of a body of water, the Gloine or the Gloinebach, which was later applied to the valley. The name is assigned a pre-Germanic origin. The corresponding Indo-European root means something like 'to twist' or 'to bend'.
