The nature reserve Krielower See is a 155 hectare nature reserve (NSG) in the state of Brandenburg. The protection status was enacted on August 31, 2004 by the Minister for Agriculture, Environmental Protection and Regional Planning on the basis of Section 21 in conjunction with Section 19 Paragraphs 1 and 2 of the Brandenburg Nature Conservation Act in the version published on May 26, 2004. (GVBl. I p. 350) It is listed in the list of FFH areas in Brandenburg (Fauna-Flora-Habitat Directive) under DE 3543-301.

geography

The Krielower See nature reserve comprises areas in the corridors of the municipal district Groß Kreutz (Havel) with the districts Krielow and Schmergow and the city of Werder (Havel) with the districts Kemnitz and Phöben . The area is surrounded by the villages of Kemnitz, Phöben and Krielow in a clockwise direction starting from the north. The southern border is the Berlin – Magdeburg railway line , the eastern border is the "Am Phöbener Bruch" road as a simple connecting road between Kemnitz and the L 90 between Kemnitz and Schmergow.

description

The centerpiece of the nature reserve is the now almost silted up Krielower See, formerly also known as the Krielower Luch as part of a bog channel with a silting lake between the Großer Plessower See and the Havel to the west past the large sandy island of the Phöben Mountains with the Wachtelberg (83.7 m) and the Haakberg (87.9 m). To the south and north there is a temporary water-bearing connection to the Havel and the Großer Plessower See, called Torfgraben. The focus is on the preservation and development of the area as an essential part of the regional biotope network between the Kleiner Plessower See and the Havel.

fauna

The area is considered to be a habitat or retreat and a potential center for re-spreading wild animals such as the crane (Grus grus), the spotted rail (Porzana porzana), the corncrake (Crex crex), the common snipe (Gallinago gallinago), the teal (Anas querquedula), the Ringelnatter (Natrix natrix), the garlic toad (Pelobates fuscus), the Moor frog (Rana arvalis) of the otter (Lutra lutra), the slender plate screw (anisus vorticulus), the bulbous diaper screw (Vertigo moulinsiana) and the Narrow diaper screw (Vertigo angustior ) as species of community interest within the meaning of Section 7 (2) number 10 of the Federal Nature Conservation Act, including their important habitats for reproduction, nutrition, migration and wintering.

The immigrant beaver (Castor fiber) and its construction activities led to the watering of the adjacent extensively used pasture areas. Since then, machine processing has no longer been possible and purchased water buffalo (Bubalus arnee) take over the grazing and thus the maintenance of the landscape.

flora

The protection purpose is, among other things, the preservation and development as a habitat for wild plant communities, in particular of low-light algae communities in peat cuttings, floodplain, reed communities, large sedge areas, wet meadows, moist tall herbaceous meadows, willow bushes and alder swamps. The natural eutrophic lake with a vegetation of magnopotamion or hydrocharition , pipe grass meadows on calcareous soil, peaty and clayey-silty soils, the wet meadows and humid high herbaceous meadows of the planar and montane to alpine level as natural habitat types is of community interest within the meaning of § 7 paragraph 1 Number 4 of the Federal Nature Conservation Act.

geology

Like many lakes in the state of Brandenburg , the Krielower See is also a result of the last ice age. These lakes were created by the erosion of glacier tongues or as so-called channel lakes in the runoffs of ice age meltwater. Countless lakes, especially smaller ones, fill hollow forms that remained after the ice sheet retreated and later left behind melted blocks of dead ice. Shallow lakes were created where groundwater that rose after the Ice Age filled small and large depressions in the terrain.

Monitoring

The NABU conservation area supervisors regularly conduct faunistic and floristic surveys, the results of which are reported to the Naturgucker portal.
