The Hermannsdorf nature reserve is a nature reserve in the Görlitz district in eastern Saxony . It is located in the Muskauer Heide between the town of Weißwasser / OL and the Nochten opencast mine in the district of Görlitz at an altitude of 130 m ± 1 m. The area of ​​just 22 hectares is part of the Saxon-Niederlausitzer Heideland natural region. The main purpose of the nature reserve is to preserve the only local occurrence of the black grouse in the northeastern German lowlands. Given its size, it cannot fulfill this protective purpose. Only a development in the post-mining landscape can offer sufficient space for a viable population.

The nature reserve was established by order no. 3 on nature reserves of the GDR Agriculture Council of September 11, 1967 (Journal of Laws of II GDR p. 697). At the time it covered an area of ​​167 hectares.

In connection with the expansion of the Nochten open-cast lignite mine, between 2001 and 2007, in addition to the complete deletion of the nature reserves Altteicher Moor and Große Jeseritzen , Eichberg and Urwald Weißwasser , the Hermannsdorf nature reserve was also greatly reduced by ordinance of the Dresden Regional Council. The abolition area had a size of around 145.5 ha. After over-dredging, not even 13% of the originally designated areas are under nature protection. These are located in the very north of the old nature reserve. Mining in this region mainly affects areas that are singular in Saxony and cannot be regenerated.

On a narrow strip between the Muskau folds bordering to the north and the Lausitz glacial valley bordering to the south there is an area of ​​silting bogs that could form over underground clay layers. The remaining nature reserve lies on the southern slope of a plateau formed from meltwater sediments. The entire moorland was supplied with water from the Trebendorfer plateau and drained into the brown pond via the Rothwassergraben . The opencast mine created a water deficit. The potentially natural vegetation would consist of pine-spruce forest, but currently the silver birch and in open areas the blue whistle-grass dominate . Land riding grass and bracken penetrate due to drying out .

The nature reserve borders on the reserve area for the post-mining landscape and could be expanded to include this.
