Setup date 1967

The protected landscape area Röderhofer Teiche and Egenstedter Forst is located in the south of Egenstedt and about 10 km southeast of Hildesheim on the northern edge of the Hildesheim Forest in Lower Saxony. The landscape protection area, designated in 1967, is located entirely within the municipality of Diekholzen . It is listed under the LSG identification HI 00028 ( CDDA code 323914) and comprises around 320 hectares of forest, open land and water.

geography

The northern boundary of the landscape protection area is the Sonnenberg ( 140  m above sea level ), in the south it borders directly on the landscape protection area Bad Salzdetfurth . Its highest elevation is the Hammberg ( 306  m above sea level ) in the south , part of the Tosmar elevation .

In the northern part of the landscape protection area, enclosed by this, is the settlement area Röderhof with an agricultural operation (the actual Röderhof, a historical monastery property) and a curative education facility (Heimstatt Röderhof). There or in the vicinity there are three ponds within the protected area , which were created as fish ponds by Carthusian monks in the Middle Ages . The north-western pond is called “spawning pond”, the southeastern one is called “gallows pond” (in reference to the historical place of execution on the Sonnenberg); the south-western pond between the Röderhof home and the estate remained unnamed. There are also some pools , e.g. B. at the former campground of the youth meeting place and at the new campground east of the spawning pond. The LSG flows through the LSG in an easterly direction from the Pepperbach , which has formed the valley between the Sonnenberg and the beginning of the Egenstedter Forest. The Pepperbach also feeds the southern pond. The Gehlenbach in the Röderhofer Forest, which also flows in an easterly direction, forms the southern boundary of the LSG.

geology

The Sonnenberg is formed from sandstone layers of the upper and middle Keuper . Numerous reading stones from the surrounding fields serve as evidence . In the basin of the Pepperbach and to the east of Heimstatt Röderhof there are debris from the Quaternary period as a result of the last glaciation in the Drenthe stage of the Saale Ice Age around 245,000 years ago.

The subsoil from the beginning of the Röderhofer forest to the Hammberg is made up of layers of the upper, middle and lower shell limestone as well as layers of the middle and upper Buntsandstein , the reverse order of which results from salt deposits from the Zechstein , i.e. H. from the ancient times ( Paleozoic ) explain. Some small outcrops (Upper Muschelkalk / Trochitenschichten or Lower Muschelkalk) prove the occurrence of these layers in the LSG.

flora

Since many areas of the LSG are used for agriculture and forestry, the diversity of floral species is limited. Some areas on the Sonnenberg, the areas around the three ponds and the Röderhofer Forest thus form the zones for relatively undisturbed plant growth. The banks and the adjacent riparian forest of the spawning lake are to be emphasized. On the pastures on the ridge and south of the Sonnenberg there are many fruit trees and old solitary trees (e.g. beeches). Poplars and willows are often found on the edges of the lakes .

fauna

Within the LSG, piles of dead wood as well as breeding and nesting facilities were created in various places , which are well accepted by various animals. In addition, there are natural deposits of dead wood such as B. northwest of the spawning lake. In addition, natural hedges (e.g. sloe ) provide additional habitats in various places .

A large number of water birds can be observed in the waters of the area, especially at the spawning lake, although only a few species, e.g. B. the moorhen , to local animals, which also breed in these waters. Most birds use the waters for foraging and are therefore not always or only rarely observed. Observed in the area were u. a. Cormorants , herons , egrets , mallards , gray geese , Nile geese , white storks and various birds of prey such as the red kite and buzzard .

The amphibians form a remarkable population in the LSG . These include u. a. Common toads , common frogs , mountain newts , pond newts and thread newts . As a protective measure for the migration of the amphibians, fences are set up on the road to the Röderhof in spring and autumn, which volunteers search in the morning and evening in order to then carry the found amphibians across the street. The road was also equipped with amphibious tunnels. A partial area of LSGS was from the state of Lower Saxony, due to the great crested newt reported -Vorkommens as Lurchschutzgebiet to the European Union and is available as FFH area DE-3925-332 crested newt habitat-Röder Hofer ponds under protection.

There is also a small population of the common pond mussel in the spawning pond . In contrast, carp are common.
