The Kannenbruch is a 25 hectare natural forest reserve in the southwest of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck in Schleswig-Holstein .

history

View in two (of eleven) aisles from the center of the roundabout

The Kannenbruch is located south of Kronsforde and west of Krummesse in the extreme southwest of the Lübeck city area. The city's corporate forest in its current form is a product of landscape and traffic planning in the first half of the 19th century. Its original cell is the southern third of today's area, but extended much further east to the Krummesse courtyard. From 1828 the area was cut by the newly built Makadam -Chaussee. This section of the Lübeck- Hamburger Landstrasse (today Landesstrasse 92, Kronsford Hauptstrasse ) was given a new dead straight route to avoid the steep descent in Krummesse an der Stecknitz . Since the construction made a new coupling necessary, the Lübeck forest inspector Johann Georg Witthauer (1799–1876) suggested concentrating the forest on the west side of the Chaussee and the fields on the east side. For this purpose, a number of parcels (Haukoppel, Dullrade, Spitzerienkoppel and Nieland) were reforested. The remains of buckled walls in the middle of the forest are a reminder of the earlier use . A characteristic feature of the Biedermeier planning was the creation of an aisle system in the form of an eleven-pointed star around a central roundabout . It is found in a similar form in the Lustholz parcel , Lübeck's first recreational forest, in Israelsdorf .

The broad strip of heather in the west, an extension of the Bliestorfer Moorheide, and a boggy area on the former border with the Duchy of Lauenburg on today's Rabattenweg were also reforested.

In 1995 the Lübeck municipal forest switched to natural forest use . Forest use was discontinued in Kannenbruch and Kannenbruch was designated as a natural forest reserve (identifier 01-088).

flora

Yew tree in the middle of the roundabout

The tree population is characterized by the reforestation of the 19th century and mainly includes beech , pine and spruce as well as originally a linden tree in the center of the roundabout. In 1927 Johannes Klöcking listed some trees that came from the time before the afforestation and were under nature protection, such as an oak in the forest town of Haukoppel, probably an old buckled tree, a birch with a spiral trunk ( called camel birch ) and two in 2.5 m high oaks connected by a transverse branch, so-called rich oaks . None of these trees is included in today's list of natural monuments in the city of Lübeck ; it can be assumed that they no longer exist.

In addition to the native tree species, a number of American oaks were planted around the rondel, a plane tree and an acacia and Douglas fir trees in the 19th century .

The Kannenbruch has, due to the lack of slope and the nature of the soil, high ground and backwater levels and a swampy quarry forest character. This leads to a very species-rich spring vegetation. The spring geophytes that bloom before the trees close their canopy include primroses , wood anemones , lark's spur and golden star . In June, the rare elsewhere in Lübeck flourishes here Cardamine flexuosa . The spotted orchid is also found here .

Former forester's house

Former Forsthaus Kannenbruch

In the northeast corner of the Kannenbruch, a forester's house with outbuildings in brick construction was built on the Chaussee (Kronsford Hauptstrasse 80) in 1878 . The building, which is now a listed building, was offered for sale by the city of Lübeck in 2017.
