Protection purpose

The purpose of the NSG designation is to protect the area with its rare plant species from interference. The Luderbachaue is an old grassland meadow , which emerged mainly from clearing in the 14th to 16th centuries. The surrounding forests were used as a realm or state forest, a southern part of the Dreieich Wildbanns , for several centuries like high forest and contained numerous old stocks of beech and oak. Considerable holdings of this have been preserved. Special features are the different natural forest types: oak-hornbeam-forests, alder-ash-alluvial forests, hornbeam and woodruff beech forests. The old trees with cave trees, standing and lying dead wood are significant . The different types of fungi are important for the forest ecosystem. As tree partners and decomposers, they create the basis for a rich spectrum of animal and plant species.
