The Fohrder Berg is 67.6 m above sea level. NHN high elevation near the eponymous village of Fohrde in the city of Havelsee in the north of the Potsdam-Mittelmark district in Brandenburg . It is part of the plateau of the Nauener Platte and is located directly on federal highway 102 not far from the city limits to Brandenburg an der Havel . Several opencast mines for gravel extraction were operated on it.
morphology
The Fohrder Berg is part of the Nauener Platte , a plateau formed during the Ice Age. It was formed during the last, the Vistula Ice Age, by the inland ice advancing from the northeast and is part of a longer chain of hills, an end or compression moraine complex , to which, in addition to the Fohrder Berg, the Gallberg and the Schwarze Berg also belong. These elevations were formed along the only partially traceable ice edge layer 1c of the Brandenburg phase , to which the Marienberg is also included. The individual hills are separated by dry valleys . The Bohnenland-Görden-Rinne runs east of the Fohrder Berg .
Mining
During the Vistula cold period, fine sandy and gravelly materials were deposited on the Fohrder Berg. These were and are being exploited in several opencast mines on both sides of Bundesstraße 102. Since the 1920s, a sand-lime brick plant was operated on the western slope of the mountain . However, this was dismantled after the Second World War in 1946 as a reparation payment to the Soviet Union and subsequently not renewed. From 1972 the associated gravel pit was used as a municipal waste dump for Brandenburg, which was subsequently expanded several times. The landfill has been closed since 2006 and a recycling center has been set up.
Above the first plant on the eastern side of the federal highway, another sand-lime brick plant was opened in the 1930s. However, this was never put into operation and demolished in 1963. In the early 1990s, a new sand-lime brick plant was built in its place. The raw materials sand and gravel were in turn extracted in open-cast mines on Fohrder Berg. In 2001 the plant was closed and dismantling was briefly interrupted. Since 2003 gravel and sand have been extracted again in open-cast mining. These are used, for example, on site for a mortar plant.
Nature and reserve
Outside the mining areas, the hilly elevation of the Fohrder Berg is covered with an extensive pine forest, which is part of the old town forest of the city of Brandenburg. The mountain is located, including the mining areas east of the trunk road in the conservation area Westhavelland.
