The Großer Luch is an extensive lowland south-west of Dannenwalde , a district of the municipality of Gumtow in the Prignitz district in Brandenburg .

geography

The vast Luch plain, consisting almost exclusively of meadows and pastures, is by far the largest part of the Dannenwalde district and only one kilometer southwest of the village. A smaller southern part belongs to the northern edge of the district of Döllen . The border between the two districts is formed by the Jäglitz and the Westliche Jäglitz , which drain the Großer Luch in the first case to the west and in the second case to the east.

Surrounding places are Dannenwalde and Kolrep extension in the northeast, Brüsenhagen-Berg in the east, extension , Heinzhof and Bärensprung in the southeast, Zarenthin extension and Zarenthin in the south, Döllen in the southwest, Krams in the west, and Luisenhof and Friedheim in the northwest.

history

The large valley and the surrounding slopes, which are often quite steep for the local area, created the melting waters of the Ice Age and the Post-Ice Age. At that time these flowed over the Karthane and Stepenitz in the west and over Jäglitz , Dosse and Havel in the east to the Elbe . What remained was a swampy area from which a species-rich quarry forest developed. This condition persisted into the 18th century. Frederick the Great arranged for the Dannenwald lynx to be drained and cultivated. The Jäglitz was deepened and straightened, drainage ditches were created and trees and undergrowth were removed. The result was the meadow landscape that still exists today.

The Luch was to become the main part of the Kolreper and Dannenwalder Luch nature reserve. The protection procedure required for this was discontinued in 2007.
