View of the lake

The Langenhägener Seewiesen are a nature reserve and wetland in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. You are five kilometers west of Goldberg in the municipality of Techentin . The eponymous town of Langenhagen, with its village street mostly facing away from the lake and built on one side, borders the protected area in the west and south-west over a length of around 2.4 kilometers.

description

The in the state list numbered with 232 protected area has a size of 152 hectares and is located in a basin of a formerly drainless Grundmoränenfläche that during the stage of the Frankfurter Weichseleiszeit was formed. The protected area includes the strongly structured, polytrophic and 45 hectare flat water lake, the surrounding moors, such as the Muggenmoor in the northwest, the wet meadows and the adjacent areas. The water surface of the lake is 55  m above sea level. NHN , the area reaches up to 67 meters above sea level. A wooded peninsula protrudes into the southern basin of the water. The lake drains through a ditch towards the Elde to the south .

This richly structured biotope with groups of trees, grassland and bodies of water offers the various animal and plant species an ideal habitat. These include the adjacent reed beds , the sedge reeds and the poor grassland areas as well as the nationally important breeding, resting and feeding areas for water birds and waders . Above all, the Seewiesen are a resting and gathering place for cranes .

history

After the Ice Age, isolated bodies of water formed in which thick layers of liver, lime, clay and peat deposits could be deposited.

The first documentary mention of the area with the lake as belonging to Techentin for the first time goes back to the year 1219. Borwin I , Prince of Mecklenburg , founded the Sonnenkamp Monastery in Neukloster and transferred some of its possessions, including Techutin, XX mansos et stagnum cum adiacente silua… Techentin with 20 farms and the lake and the surrounding forest. In 1227 the Langhagen See is mentioned as Lake Lanckaue under the property of the Dobbertin Monastery . In 1319, Langenhagen was first mentioned as Techentinerhagen with 16 hooves, a mill and three other families subject to tax in the lifting role of the Sonnenkamp monastery among its possessions . In 1591 it was heard that the fishery on the Häger lake was the responsibility of the pastor, since the church owned the fourth part of the lake and a yard. In 1651 the pastor von Techentin received 10 thalers a year as compensation for the loss of the fishery.

Extensive clearing in the 13th and 14th centuries resulted in increased water inflow from the Müggenmoor and the formation of an open body of water. Since meadows and pastureland were very scarce in the villages in the area, the government tried to remedy this early on. In the list of confessors from 1704 it can be read: Pastor has justice on Lake Häger, ... only after the lake drained 12 years ago and now mostly overgrown with wonderful reed, so and bleybet des Pastoris Fischerey is devastated ... Apparently this attempt had not brought much besides the splendid pipe . Because of the high water level, the complaints of farmers working there increased from 1770 onwards. Because the pastureland was flooded and increasingly scarce. To investigate and remedy the ills they had a commission appointed, then in 1772 began its work. But it wasn't until 1775 that plans to lower the lake were made. By deepening the ditch that drove the mill, the lake was drained from 1786 to 1788. After that, only a small part of the lake remained.

In Wiebeking's map from 1786 the lake is shown as lake meadows . A drainage ditch, the so-called Franzosengraben , allowed further pasture areas to be gained after the lake had subsided. Certainly it took a few more years to get hay. But the food there was of poor quality.

In the years from 1824 to 1831 a more extensive expansion of the Seegraben was planned. The execution with the deepening of the Langenhaeger Seegraben took place only from May to August 1831. This can be seen from a letter from the officials in Goldberg to the Grand Ducal High Cammer and Forestry College of December 20, 1828: The relevant acts show how 40 years ago the derivation of the lake in the village of Langenhagen was projected and carried out, thereby gaining needy meadows for the villages of Langenhagen, Augzin and Techentin, which almost entirely lacked them. The drainage should therefore have been started around 1788.

With the electrification of the village of Langenhagen in 1924, an electrically operated screw pumping station was built to further regulate the water level at the Seegraben. Due to its uniqueness in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the pumping station was declared a technical monument on February 21, 1990. The restoration of the technical monument was completed in autumn 2007.

In 1986 the meadow areas were drained, which were then finally closed on October 1, 1989.

Flora and fauna

The Langenhägener Seewiesen are one of the most valuable nature reserves in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district due to their biodiversity.

In the shallow water area there are numerous amphibians and reptiles, including various species of frogs and toads . From Moorfrosch to the Edible Frog, the spadefoot toad and up to the fire-bellied toad , grass snake up to the slow worm . Due to the good stocking of fish in the waters, the otter also came .

In addition to the shallow lake with its silting zones and ditches, there are also several pools in these wetlands . They also have a rich flora and fauna here . The spacious meadows are interrupted by hedges, smaller trees and rows of polluted willows. The shrub species include the eucoat , dogwood , hawthorn , wild rose , snowball , sloe and hazel .

The shallow water lake is also accepted by marsh and water bird species and the lake meadows offer a safe feeding and breeding ground. These include: the mallard , shoveler , gadfly , teal , mute swan , greylag goose , red and black-necked grebes , lapwing , common snipe , moorhen , water rail , spotted moorhen , marsh harrier and crane . The regular food guests include: gray heron , great egret , white stork , sea ​​eagle , osprey , cormorant and the black-headed gull .

Conservation and use

After the temporary protection of the flooded areas on October 1, 1990, an application was made on July 4, 1991 for an extension of the NSG for the wet meadow areas. The entire nature reserve was finally placed under protection on May 2, 1996.

The Langenhägener Seewiesen sponsorship association was founded on February 10, 1992 and has been responsible for the conservation and maintenance of the nature reserve ever since. From 1994 to 1996 the old village school was converted into an environmental education and information center and in 1997 it was expanded into a nature contact station. In addition to educational nature conservation work, the friends' association offers guided tours, especially during the crane migration. For this purpose, a crane observation station was opened on September 18, 1998.

The Langenhägener Seewiesen were the external locations of the International Horticultural Exhibition 2003 and the Federal Horticultural Show 2009 .
