The Herrschinger Moos is a nature reserve in the municipalities of Herrsching am Ammersee and Seefeld in the Starnberg district . At the same time it is part of the landscape protection area "Western part of the district of Starnberg", the FFH area "Herrschinger Moos and Aubachtal" and the bird sanctuary "Ammerseegebiet".
history
The nature reserve was put under protection by the Bavarian State Ministry for State Development and Environmental Issues (today the Bavarian State Ministry for Environment and Consumer Protection ) on August 27, 1982, to among other things
- to ensure the natural development of the existing communities,
- to protect the plant communities in their typical succession of limestone bog , silting areas and open lake area,
- to secure the diversity of flora and fauna and especially the rare animals and plants.
Natura 2000 , the European Union's network of protected areas, declared moss a bird sanctuary in 2001 and an FFH area in 2004. Since the EU demands a good conservation status of the areas recognized by it, nature conservation and forest authorities record and evaluate the species and habitat types in the area. The results of their work are the basis for advising landowners on suitable conservation measures.
Geography and geology

The Herrschinger Moos lies at an altitude of 534 m above sea level. NN in the far west of the Starnberg district between the Ammersee and the Pilsensee , whose southern lake zone is also part of the protected area. In the north-west and east, the extent of the moss is limited by distinctive wall moraine ridges . The land area of the protected area is part of the municipality of Herrsching am Ammersee, the shore area and the lake area are part of the municipality of Seefeld.
The Fischbach flows through the nature reserve . It is the drainage water of the Pilsensee and flows into the Ammersee in Herrsching.
The Herrschinger Moos owes its origin to the Kienbach . After the retreat of the Isar-Loisach Glacier from the Worms' Ice Age , which formed the landscape of the southern foothills of the Alps when it melted , the Ammersee was much larger than it is today. The lake area also included an approximately ten kilometer long bay that branched off on the east bank of the Ammersee in a northeastern direction. In the course of the following millennia, the Kienbach transported such large amounts of gravel debris and rubble from the gorge between Andechs and Herrsching to the southern part of this tributary that an alluvial cone formed and the lake zone silted up. Today's Herrschinger Moos lies on top of it. A further north located area of the former Ammerseebucht was preserved as a body of water and was - now sealed off - to a separate lake, today's Pilsensee.
Flora and fauna
The Herrschinger Moos and the Pilsensee belong to the extensive bird protection zone "Ammerseegebiet", which is of central importance for bird migration . In the autumn and spring months, numerous migratory birds rest here before and after crossing the Alps.
The reed bed zone on the south bank of the Pilsensee and the almost inaccessible center of the Herrschinger Moos are ideal breeding grounds for bird species that inhabit reeds and lakefronts such as marsh harriers , water rails , reed warbler and reed warbler . In the vicinity of moist bog meadows there are nesting sites for ruff , a strictly protected species of the snipe bird that is threatened with extinction .
The lime-rich fen area of the nature reserve is of particular value for many plant communities that have now become rare. Numerous plants on the red list , such as the marsh glossy herb , are still native here. On the southern edge of the nature reserve, the litter meadows are among the most species-rich habitats in the five-lake region . The diversity was able to develop because the areas have always been of very little economic importance and were only mowed once a year in order to use the grass as animal bedding . Since there is no longer any need for this either, voluntary helpers from the Federal Nature Conservation Union take over the annual autumn mowing . It is thanks to your efforts that bushes are avoided and that the natural development of the existing plant communities is maintained.
