Staupketal landscape protection area
The conservation area Staupketal a 15.86 ha large landscape conservation area (LSG) north of Marsberg and southeast of Essentho . The area was designated in 2008 with the Marsberg landscape plan by the district council of the Hochsauerlandkreis . In the south it borders directly on the settlement area of Marsberg and in the north on the development of Essentho. The nature reserve Niedernfeld borders northeast. In the west and east lies the nature reserve Randhöhen between Sintfeld and Diemeltal .
Legal framework
The Staupketal landscape protection area was designated as one of 30 type C landscape planning areas, meadow valleys and ornithologically significant open land . In the Marsberg landscape plan area, there are also three landscape protection areas of LSG type A, general landscape protection , where, among other things, the construction of buildings is prohibited. Furthermore, 17 landscape protection areas of LSG type B, outskirts and landscape character , where additional first afforestation and also the planting of Christmas tree cultures, ornamental branches and tree nursery cultures are prohibited. As in the other 29 type C landscape protection areas in the Marsberg landscape planning area, the LSG also prohibits the conversion of grassland and fallow grassland into arable land or other forms of use. A maximum of two years of arable use within twelve years is permitted, provided that this prepares the renewal of the sward. This is considered an extended nursing shift . In the case of the extended care break , a minimum distance of 5 m from the central water bed must be maintained.
description
The Staupketal landscape protection area is the Staupke stream and the floodplain . The LSG runs as a narrow valley line from the southern edge of the Paderborn plateau across the wooded Diemel valley flanks down to the Diemel valley . Morphologically, the valley is largely formed as a notch valley. The brook in the valley floor has a number of bank breaks and steep slopes. In the valley, the slopes vary greatly in the transverse profile. At the brook there are small wet meadows and remains of alluvial forest with ash trees. In some areas of the valley, afforestation has been carried out over the past few decades. The afforestation was mostly done with spruce or poplar. The reforestation turned a valley with five grassland areas from what was once a valley that was once continuously used for grassland. Only the areas at the ends of the Marsberg and Essentho valleys are still in use. The other grassland areas have fallen fallow. According to the landscape plan, this existing spruce or poplar forest is classified as not appropriate for the location on the gley floors there. According to the landscape plan, the spruces and poplars should either be changed to indigenous hardwood stocking at the latest when the trees are felled or, better, removed in favor of the most extensive grassland use possible.
Protection purpose
The designation was made to maintain, supplement and optimize a grassland biotope network system in the floodplains and the lean grassland communities in the nature reserves , so that animals and plants can keep migrating and spreading, and the preservation of the occurrence of protected bird species and the protection of species-rich plant communities.
