The Möhnesee area is a European bird sanctuary (protected area identifier DE-4514-401) in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, which was designated by an ordinance of 1983 by the Arnsberg regional council .
The Birds Directive of the European Union serves to preserve the wild bird species native to the territory of its member states and to regulate the protection, management and regulation of these birds, their eggs and habitats .
location
The approximately 12 square kilometer “Möhnesee” bird sanctuary is located in the Soest district . It extends over the 80-year-old reservoir of the Möhnetalsperre, which gives it its name, at the transition from the wooded Sauerland to the Wästfälische Bucht .
description
The protected area "Möhnesee" is described as "internationally important migratory and wintering waters for up to 20,000 waterfowl resting here , especially for goosander , common golden pochard and pochard ".
Habitat classes
| N06 - inland waters, standing and flowing | 95% | |||
| N16 - deciduous forest | 3% | |||
| N20 - artificial forests | 1 % | |||
| N23 - Other (including cities, villages, roads, landfills, pits, industrial areas) | 1 % | |||
Habitat types
The following FFH habitat types occur in the "Möhnesee" protected area :
- 3260 - Rivers of the planar to montane level with vegetation of the Ranunculion fluitantis and the Callitricho-Batrachion
- 9110 - Hainsimsen-Buchenwald
- 9160 - Subatlantic or Central European pedunculate oak forest or star chickweed oak-hornbeam forest
- 91E0 - floodplain forests with black alder and common ash
Protection purpose
The general protection purpose is to secure and optimize the resting and wintering areas for water birds.
The area-related conservation and development goals are described differently depending on the species .
Breeding birds

Preservation of near-natural waters, of steep walls and demolition edges made of excavable substrate in the vicinity of the water, of fallen trees suitable for the breeding tube system in the vicinity of the water, of structures that can be used as a seat for hunting, such as strong riparian wood with branches hanging over the water, preservation of a Water quality that ensures good visibility for prey, a water dynamic that enables the formation of new bank breaks suitable for nesting, preservation of secondary habitats such as abandoned mining sites with bodies of water and steep banks, the food supply with small fish species and juvenile fish as well as the maintenance of undisturbed or at least undisturbed breeding sites during the breeding season from February 15th to September 15th
Middle woodpecker
