The Friedenthaler Grund is a nature reserve in the Lutherstadt Wittenberg in the district of Wittenberg in Saxony-Anhalt .

The nature reserve with the registration number NSG 0290 is around 146  hectares . It is of around 167 hectares, the same part of FFH area and completely from the landscape conservation area surrounded "Wittenberg Vorfläming and Zahnabachtal". The area has been under protection since 2003 (date of regulation: April 2, 2003). The responsible lower nature conservation authority is the Wittenberg district.

The nature reserve is located northwest of Lutherstadt Wittenberg in the Fläming Nature Park . It protects an approximately 3.5 kilometer long section of the upper course of the Zahna in Hohen Fläming with the adjacent valley meadows and parts of the forest areas of the Kropstädter Heide to the northeast.

The Zahna, which runs in the very south of the nature reserve, presents itself as close to nature despite the bank fortifications. The gravelly brook bottom offers the brook loach a suitable habitat. Due to the Elbe beaver that immigrated to the area in the 1970s , the stream is dammed in places, so that flooded and very wet areas could form. Here settle reedbeds with reeds , onion rush , Spitzblütiger rush and Tonquil and banks Staudenfluren with Sharp Buttercup , ragged robin , marsh Schafgabe , Genuine meadowsweet , marsh cranesbill and water iris . The pent-up areas are the habitat of the little diver . Also, common toad , grass and edible frog use water as a habitat and spawning habitat.

To the north of the Zahna, the Bachtal is partly shaped by grassland to which forest communities adjoin. In the northern area of ​​the nature reserve there is a source creek of the Zahna with the new pond, a pond dammed up for a former water mill . Again, various amphibians , next to common toad , grass and edible frog and marsh frog , and some dragonfly species , including the large white-faced darter , home. The south-western shore of the pond is one of the banks harrows lined existed. Marsh oaks grow on the south bank . In the far north of the protected area there is a small, abandoned coal mine, in the bottom of which a still water has formed. Here is u. a. the little water frog at home.
