The Latumer Bruch , also known locally as Lohbruch , is a quarry forest and wetland in the southeast of the city of Krefeld , which under the same name forms the second largest nature reserve in the city (no. KR-001 ).

The break lies on the southern edge of the Krefeld district of Linn . In the north-west the area borders on Oppum , in the north-east on Gellep-Stratum , in the south-west and south-east lie the Meerbusch districts of Ossum-Bösinghoven and Lank-Latum . The Latumer Bruch is named after the Latum house , an estate on the outskirts of Lank-Latum, to whose lands the area historically belonged.

Protected area

Information board

Since 1982, the Latumer Bruch, with its swamp and alluvial forests , ditches with changing moisture , ponds and near-natural grassland has been under nature protection. In addition to the actual Latumer Bruch (also Lohbruch ), the nature reserve also includes the smaller wooded area, The Great Bend , the wild shoreline along the Stratumer Buschgraben and the Lohbruchgraben, as well as some meadows and fields that are used extensively for agriculture .

The Latumer Bruch is located with the Buersbach and the Linner Mühlenbach in the area of ​​two old stream channels in the glacial valley of the meandering Rhine ( called Kendel on the Lower Rhine ) and is therefore, together with the adjacent Donken, as a landscape area of geological and regional interest. When the Rhine floods , the gullies fill with groundwater that presses up and cannot drain away . The channels thus serve as natural water retention areas and also for flood protection .

Together with the adjacent nature reserve Die Buersbach , the castle and moat system of the castle and old town of Linn , the Greiffenhorstpark with the Linner Mühlengraben , the drinking water extraction area Elt and the Römersee , the NSG Latumer Bruch forms an almost 300 hectare Natura 2000 / FFH area (No. DE-4605-301: Latumer Bruch with Buersbach, Stadtgraeben and waterworks ). The nature reserve is also integrated into the southern Krefeld biotope network .

The area is professionally supervised by the Lower Landscape Authority of the city of Krefeld, as well as by a volunteer landscape guard and by the German Nature Conservation Union (NABU).

Flora and fauna

The vegetation in the swampy areas consists of moisture-loving trees and bushes, especially alder , poplar and willow stands , as well as moisture-loving grasses and herbs, e.g. B. reed , sedge and hedgehog populations . Characteristic flowers here are the marsh iris and the marsh marigold . In the areas of the higher Donke and meadows, a grassland has formed. Typical here are, for example, the autumn crocus and the meadowfoam .

The Latumer Bruch with its retreat areas provides habitat for numerous animals, including some rare and threatened species. There is a rich bird fauna, here breed and. a. numerous water and meadow birds (e.g. white stork ) and other rare species (e.g. black kite ). Many migratory birds use the nutrient-rich area as a resting place. The wetlands are the habitat and spawning area for various amphibians , including the crested newt . Among the numerous insects, the black and blue and the great bog blue as well as the mutable pear beetle are particularly worth mentioning.
