The approximately 400 hectare forest area is located east of the federal motorway 7 . It connects directly to the Wietzenbruch forest area, which is extensive between Fuhrberg and Celle .

history

Former court on the sod oak in the Rundshorn forest

The area was first mentioned in a border description of the Diocese of Hildesheim from the 10th century as "Runteshornan".

On May 6, 1354, the forest was recorded as a court in the deed of the court of Duke Wilhelm von Braunschweig-Lüneburg. The place of the court square at this time is said to have been at the “Sodeiche” (well oak), which still protrudes into the path that leads north across the car park to the fitness trail. This fitness trail, which is popular today, was created in 1971.

In the 19th century the forest was called a royal forest place. On October 18, 1851, the forester Friedrich Lewecke shot one of the last wolves living in the wild in Lower Saxony between Wieckenberg and Berkhof.

use

As a drinking water catchment area for the city of Hanover and a water protection area, the Rundshorn forest is of particular importance for the greater Hanover area. This water has been pumped at the Elze-Berkhof waterworks since 1911 .

The forest area, which is largely overgrown with pines, is becoming increasingly important as a local recreation area in the Hanover region.
