Golmer Luch

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Coordinates: 52 ° 24 ′ 0 ″  N , 12 ° 58 ′ 0.01 ″  E The Golmer Luch denotes a valley with heights of 28 to 31 m above sea level. HN in the west and south of the Potsdam district of Golm near the Great Zernsee .

The designation " Luch " indicates that this area is a formerly muddy landscape. Despite attempts to settle by Swiss farmers by Friedrich Wilhelm from 1685 for the purpose of land reclamation, the moor character was retained over a larger area. In 1925 the Federation for Bird Protection ( NABU ) acquired 15 hectares together with the Volksbund. These were the last unspoilt bog near Berlin to be placed under nature protection in 1927 and were among the first nature reserves of the then German Empire. From 1934, however, the area was used for waste disposal in Berlin. The rubbish was shipped to the Golmer Luch in garbage cans and unloaded there by a dredger. With the help of water, the waste was then pumped 1 km into the country. It was only after the fall of the Wall that a citizens' initiative in Golm was able to campaign for the landfill to be closed and sealed. Today the Golmer Luch is designated as a landscape protection area.

The former great ornithological importance of the Golm lynx as a resting place for Nordic geese and duckbirds as well as breeding grounds for native waterfowl and waders has declined sharply due to drainage, filling and the operation of landfills. However, a large number of songbirds can still be found today.
