The Kaltenhofer Moor is a nature reserve in the Schleswig-Holstein communities of Felm and Osdorf in the Rendsburg-Eckernförde district near Gut Kaltenhof .

Nature reserve

The 54 hectare nature reserve is registered under number 41 in the directory of nature reserves of the Ministry of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Areas. It was expelled in 1942 (date of regulation: February 25, 1942). It is part of the FFH area “Stodthagen natural forest and adjacent high moors”. The responsible lower nature conservation authority is the Rendsburg-Eckernförde district.

It protects the rest of a raised bog that has largely been pelted or turned into grassland . Traces of earlier use are peat cuttings, dams and stitch edges. In the east of the nature reserve there is an almost one-hectare moor lake that was created by peat extraction.

The nature reserve is predominantly characterized by bog forest , which grows on the drained bog. In between there are open raised bog areas. To stop the further drainage of the bog, individual trenches were sealed. Further measures are necessary for the renaturation of the moor.

In some areas hochmoor typical vegetation could survive, including rosemary , bell and heather , cranberry , Rosebay and Schei Diges cotton grass , white beak-sedge and Sundew .

The nature reserve is closely interlinked with the Stodthagener Wald bordering to the south and the habitat of the fire-bellied toad on a grassland area bordering to the south-east. In the Stodthagen Forest, waterlogging measures were started at the beginning of the 21st century, leaving the forest to develop naturally.

In the east of the nature reserve, a path with information boards runs through the nature reserve. The moor drains through ditches to the Mühlenaue, which flows into the Fuhlensee at Strande . The nature reserve is looked after by the Uthörn Conservation Association.

history

The moor was in one hand and became state property again in 1926. The Sturenhagen farm is said to have a registered right to bake one hundred thousand sods (pieces of peat) there every year. In 1945 peat became a valuable heating factor. Right behind the Hochwald Stodthagen, peat was baked from 1945 under the supervision of the community. The sods were produced by the residents themselves. Christian Besler from Dänischenhagen was responsible for the peat press, who also worked in the columns that were put together. The power connection for the operation of the peat press was installed on the farm of the August Ivens family opposite. From 1946 to 1948, the Schimkus company from Friedrichsort mined peat in the bog on a much larger scale. The peat was removed from the large dredging hole, which is now called a moor pond or moor lake. Work was carried out in two shifts on two presses. A narrow-gauge rail network , which led to the dry meadows and the large loading ramp on Gettorfer Landstrasse, was created. Three diesel locomotives took care of the transport of the sod from manufacture to loading. With the currency reform in 1948 , the peat lost its value and purpose among the population. Better fuels such as coal, lignite and wood were now available in abundance.
