The nature reserve Friedrichsheider Hochmoor is located southeast of Sosa , at the foot of the Auersberg in the west of the Erzgebirge at about 800  m above sea level. NN . It is part of the Natura 2000 area " Mittelgebirgslandschaft bei Johanngeorgenstadt " with the EU registration number 5541-303.

Protected position

The "Friedrichsheider Hochmoor" nature reserve was placed under protection by order of the chairman of the Agriculture Council on September 11, 1967 (GDR Law Gazette - GBl. DDR II p. 697).

Location and development

The nature reserve is located east of Rieserberger Straße, which leads from Sosa to the Rieserberger houses . These are about 500 meters away from the southern border of the area. At the western edge of the area, a path called "Krummer Flügel" branches off, which later goes from the north-east tip of the area to the name "Eselsberger Flügel". At this junction the area is 792  m above sea level. NN high. A forest road, called Milchbachweg in the following, leads parallel to the south border running in west-east direction in the direction of Erlabrunn .

description

The 19.01 hectare Friedrichsheider high moor, “remnants of a watershed high moor with an intact bog core”, is surrounded by mountain pines . In addition, it forms old spruce trees in the transition to spruce bog forests and spruce mountain forests. In addition to dwarf shrubs such as bilberry , bogberry , lingonberry and crowberry , the area is dominated by various species of sphagnum.

The core of this nature reserve is the habitat type 91D3 (mountain pine bog forests), which is classified as a priority in accordance with the Habitats Directive of the European Union . In addition to the spirits, there are only a few spruces on the edge. The spirit stalls both in the upper and in the shelter. The species-rich herb layer is available almost everywhere. In the years 2000 and 2002, 49 types of moss were identified during mapping. No fewer than nine species of peat moss (e.g. Sphagnum balticum , Sphagnum magellanicum , Sphagnum tenellum) were included. The vascular plants included bogberry and cranberry , crowberry , round-leaved sundew , cotton grass and rosemary heather . The management plan, which was published by the Saxon Ministry of the Environment on Sachsen.de, considers this area to be one of the best, if not the best, Spirken moor forest in Saxony and assigns it nationwide importance.

Korinna Thiem and Olaf Bastian rate the Friedrichsheider upland moor as follows in their work "Profiles for selected types of historical cultural landscape elements that shape the landscape in the Free State of Saxony":

The bog core of the "Friedrichsheider Hochmoors" has reached its final state of a Spirken bog forest (Vaccinio uliginosi-Pinetum rotundatae), which is typical for the site, despite degradation, drainage and clearing of vegetation. In the dismantled eastern part, a spruce bog forest (Vaccinio uliginosi-Piceetum) grows. The characteristic subarctic - boreal species of the Erzgebirge high moor flora include cranberry (Vaccinium oxycoccus), bogberry (V. uliginosum), cotton grass (Eriophorum vagina-tum) and crowberry (Empetrum nigrum). Rosemary heather (Andromeda po-lifolia) and round-leaved sundew (Drosera rotundifolia) are present on the Schlenk fringes.

The peat extraction in the Friedrichsheider high moor took place in the edge slope after 1945.

The ordinance of the Chemnitz regional directorate for the determination of the area of ​​community importance "low mountain range near Johanngeorgenstadt" of January 31, 2011 (SächsABl.SDr. S. S 249) puts the FFH area under protection and thus also the Friedrichsheider high moor as part of the FFH Area. In the annex to the ordinance of the Chemnitz Regional Directorate for the determination of the area of ​​community importance "low mountain range near Johanngeorgenstadt" the quality and importance of the Friedrichsheider Hochmoors is stated:

The Friedrichsheider high moor in sub-area 5 is mostly planted with a mountain pine moor forest (LRT 91D3 *). Only a small area in the west is largely free of trees and represents a regenerable raised bog (LRT 7120) in a formerly pitted area. Raised bog sites in Saxony have largely been destroyed, so that the few intact or regenerable areas are extremely valuable and significant nationwide. Mountain pine bog forests (LRT 91D3 *) with the distinctive Spirke (Pinus rotundata) occur very rarely in Saxony and only in the montane layers of the Ore Mountains. The stock is of national importance due to its large and good expression and the almost complete species inventory of the herb and cryptogamous layer.

Implementation of measures

Before the revitalization measures began as part of the preliminary study for the state focus project on the Erzgebirge bogs, the environmental authorities and the Sachsenforst state enterprise approved the implementation of the measures in advance. In this study, the north ditch of the bog was closed with 4 pile embankments and the south ditch with 5 sheet pile embankments. In addition, the pile embankments were covered with geotextile and the subsequent embankments were completely covered with peat . The project received financial support from grants from the Natural Heritage Directive .
