The Lanstroper See nature reserve is located in Dortmund in the Scharnhorst district , in the Lanstrop district . The nature reserve covers 74.2 hectares and was established on November 30, 1990 in the Dortmund-North landscape plan and also in the first amendment to the Dortmund-North landscape plan on September 2, 2005.

In addition to the eponymous Landstroper See, there are other still waters as well as forest and grassland areas within the nature reserve .

description

The Lanstroper See was created around 1963 by a mountain subsidence that reached the groundwater level and thus ensured that this area was permanently flooded. The eight-hectare lake is five meters deep at its deepest point. Skirts the lake by a narrow is reeds - and reed belt, which also rushes , bur-reed , willow herb and nettles grow. To the north of the lake, a strip of forest and shrubbery has grown, providing a habitat for the endangered little water frog , the common frog and the common toad .

Another essential part of the nature reserve is the Hienbergwald west of the lake. The Hienberg borders on the new Dortmund garbage dump "North-East". This deciduous forest, consisting of beech , pedunculate oak , hornbeam and poplar , together with the lake provides a habitat and breeding area for numerous bird species, including the small woodpecker , oriole and goshawk in the Hienberg and great crested grebe , cormorant and gray heron . The latter live mainly from the fish species that live in the lake, such as carp , perch , eel , pike and bitterling . The only proven in Dortmund existence of the grass snake is found on Lanstroper lake.

Both biotope zones are separated and connected at the same time by grassland , hedges , small bodies of water and small trees. The street Friedrichshagen originally ran at the same place, which had to be relocated due to the creation of the lake. One third of the west side of the lake can be walked on a nature trail. There is information about the nature reserve and the abundance of birds on the information boards.

Protection goals

The most important protection goal of the nature reserve is the preservation of the biotopes as a refuge and stepping stone biotope complex and at the same time the nature reserve should be made accessible to the population as a nature experience area. For this purpose, footpaths and a viewing platform have already been built.
