The Große and Kleine Möggelinsee is a 334.62  hectare nature reserve in the district of the town of Zossen in the Teltow-Fläming district in the state of Brandenburg . The area with the identification number 1233, which includes the large and small Möggelinsee , was placed under nature protection by ordinance of December 14, 1999 .

location

The FFH area is located in the east of the district and extends over the area of Lindenbrück , a district of Zossen and its district of Zesch am See . The Jägersberg – Schirknitzberg nature reserve borders to the north . This is followed in a clockwise direction by the districts of Egsdorf and Neuendorf of the town of Teupitz , Zesch am See with the nature reserve Großer and Westufer Kleiner Zeschsee , Lindenbrück and the Lindenbrück district of Funkenmühle . The southwestern part of the nature reserve is one natural area to the Mittelbrandenburgische plates and lowlands , while the northeastern part of eastern Brandenburg heath and lake region counts. A chain of lakes runs from the northeast to the southwest, including the Mellensee , Wolziger See , Kleiner Möggelinsee , Großer Möggelinsee and the Kleiner and Großer Zeschsee . They are connected to one another with the appropriate water flow. In addition, there are some small bodies of water that were probably created through the excavation of peat. Around 70% of the area is forested; around 14% eutrophic water areas with silting belts. The mean terrain height is around 47 m above sea ​​level .

history

The landscape in the protected area was created during the Vistula Ice Age . Numerous ground moraines and sand areas with terminal moraine lines formed in the southwest . The northeast is characterized by individual channel valleys, lowlands and erosion valleys that run through ground moraine plates. Occasional drift sand areas with smaller dunes can be found. In the past few decades, however, the landscape has been shaped by the neighboring military training area in Wünsdorf . In the time of the GDR , a large part of the district was a restricted military area, but was not used intensively for training purposes. The meadows south of the lakes were mowed until around 1960, then abandoned. After the reunification, the GSSD cultivated some grassland areas in the western area from 1988 to 1990 as pasture for cattle and pigs. There was fishing in the two lakes. Peat was partly extracted. The area was placed under protection by decree on December 14, 1999.

Use and development

The area is the responsibility of the Hammer Forest District . However, almost 97% of the area in 2015 was privately owned. There is practically no agricultural use. The two lakes are leased, but are not used or no longer used for fishing. However, hunting is done to ungulates to reduce. In order to maintain the area, non-local or non-native forest cultures such as poplars should be converted into near-natural forests. In doing so, oaks and pines should preferably be preserved and developed. The lower nature conservation authority recommends a targeted mowing of the wet meadows. An action plan presented in 2015 provides for numerous measures to improve the situation in the nature reserve. The open sand areas are to be preserved or newly created, the water bodies desludged and the wooded population regulated with targeted mowing.

Flora and fauna

The fauna and flora are shaped by the two lakes and the adjacent forest areas. Bog forests can often be found on the banks of the two lakes . Alder trees thrive there , while birch trees are more likely to be found in the northern areas of the two bodies of water. Ash willows , pedunculate oaks , bird cherries and wire wreaths also thrive . Litter meadows developed in the few open areas that were previously used as pasture . For example, the beach carnation , riding grass , the great cartilaginous lettuce , the autumn crocus , but also endangered species such as the blackhead sedge grow on them .

A total of seven bat species live in the nature reserve, including the broad-winged bat , the water bat , the rough-skin bat and the mosquito bat . The state of Brandenburg suspects that the bats have found their winter quarters outside the FFH area due to a lack of suitable caves. The narrow and bellied diaper snail and the sand lizard were also detected . Crucian carp and gudgeon live in the waters . The otter has also been sighted.

The air is populated by the osprey , the honey buzzard , the red kite and the sea ​​eagle , among others . But the red-backed shrike , the cormorant and the wryneck have also been detected. The goosander and the pochard use the area to rest or as winter quarters.
