The Laubenheimer-Bodenheimer Ried is a Rhineland-Palatinate nature reserve of around 180 hectares today . It is located near the Rhine , in the area of ​​the city of Mainz and the district of Mainz-Bingen . In 1982, 71 hectares were initially designated as a nature reserve. In 1998, the area was expanded to around 180 hectares by means of the Laubenheimer-Bodenheimer Ried extension. The city of Mainz explains the importance of the area: “The Laubenheimer-Bodenheimer Ried is subject to several protection categories, right up to the highest EU protection as an FFH area . They underline the special value and irreplaceability for the animal and plant species living here. "

Area description

The rare swamp meadow iris ( Iris spuria )

The Laubenheimer-Bodenheimer Ried is located in the Bodenheimer Aue in the Upper Rhine lowlands near Mainz. A diverse mosaic of meadow-specific habitats has developed in former clay pits, silted up flood channels of the Rhine and on agricultural areas.

“The protection was given to the rich and endangered bird life in the waters and reed beds. Endangered species such as bluethroat, kingfisher, reed warbler, marsh harrier, spotted marsh grouse and bittern are dependent on these habitats and are sometimes only found nationwide in the Upper Rhine Rift. "

The area's floristic equipment is also of particular importance; more than 630 vascular plant species have been identified. In the flood channels there are very species-rich river valley meadows with numerous peculiarities such as umbel ( Cnidium dubium ), angular leek ( Allium angulosum ), skullcap ( Scutellaria hastifolia ), dyer's notch ( Serratula tinctoria ) and marsh milkweed ( Euphorbia palustris ). The occurrence of numerous halophytes (salt plants), especially along roadsides, is unique in Rhineland-Palatinate.

On the flood dams, Stromtal semi-arid grass grows with mass occurrences of the blue-flowering swamp meadow iris ( Iris spuria ), which can only be found nationwide in Rheinhessen and is most important here.

Protection purpose

Subarea from 1982: Preservation of the wet meadows and reed beds and meadow areas, the semi-arid lawns, the dams and higher-lying areas, the ponds and ditches as significant locations for threatened and rare plant species and plant communities; Preservation of the animal species bound to these habitats, especially animals that cannot adapt to constant human disturbance.

Extension from 1998: Protection purpose is the preservation and restoration of the typical floodplain terrain and site conditions, the preservation and development of extensive grassland on wet to dry, alternately damp and occasionally flooded areas, in particular of river valley, wet and wet meadows, as well as near-natural flow channels and small bodies of water as well of individual succession and extensive arable land.

particularities

Special attractions for visitors are the regularly breeding white storks that build their numerous nests on a power line that runs through the area.

  • A power line leads through the reed

  • Seven stork nests on just one power pole

  • Some storks have been coming here to nest for years

  • Young storks are waiting for their food

  • Storks can only survive where the environment is in order
