Flemming meadows
The Flemmingwiesen form a table-level and almost treeless lowland landscape in the Baruther glacial valley . The meadows lie between the districts of the Brandenburg community Nuthe-Urstromtal with Jänickendorf in the west, Dümde in the north and Stülpe in the south and extend in the east to the city of Baruth . In terms of nature, the Heidehof-Golmberg nature reserve connects to the south with the highest elevation of the Lower Fläming , the terminal moraine of the Golmberg (178 meters).
Geographical overview and geology
If the ridge of the Golmberg is still part of the old moraine landscape of the Saale Ice Age , the Flemmingwiesen within the glacial valley already belong to the young moraine region of the Vistula Ice Age , the inland ice of which reached its maximum extent to the south in the valley. Together with the Belziger Landschaftswiesen and the Fiener Bruch , the Flemmingwiesen form one of the geographic lowlands in the Baruther glacial valley. The moored lowland location is criss-crossed by a multitude of dead straight melioration ditches , which in the north-eastern part are derived from the Hammerfließ into the Nuthe . In the north-western area, the Horstgraben and Biebergraben , which run beneath the northern almost 10 kilometers long and only around 100 meters wide line dune Langer Horst (also known as the Lange Horst Mountains ), drain .
Part of the LSG Baruther Urstromtal and Luckenwalder Heide
In addition, Flemming meadows form part of the 30,000 hectares comprehensive nature sanctuary Baruth glacial valley and Luckenwalder Heide . In addition to the maintenance of the fen sites, the LSG regulation places particular emphasis on the natural spatial connection with the biotopes of the neighboring drift sand and inland dune areas of the NSG Heidehof-Golmberg and Forst Zinna Jüterbog-Keilberg .
Naming and use
The name Flemmingwiesen is derived from the term Fläming and goes back to the settlers of the Flämingdörfer, who emerged on the dry slopes - in the Middle Ages, the glacial valleys were natural obstacles to traffic and could only be settled after they were drained. Due to the lack of water in the slopes and mountains, the settlers in the deeper quarry land drained the Flemming meadows as pastures for the cattle. At the beginning of the 20th century, some of the meadows served as pasture for the royal fallow deer herds and were fenced in in these areas. Today the picture is characterized by numerous herds of cattle .
