administration Rhine district of Neuss

The Meerbusch , also called Meerer Busch or Meererbusch , is a forest area in the south of the town of the same name, Meerbusch . Small parts are in the neighboring town of Kaarst .

A part of the Meerbusch with ecologically particularly valuable quarry forest forms the nature reserve "Der Meerbusch". The Meerbusch is also part of a landscape protection area.

Geographical location

The Meersche Mühlenbach on the northern edge of the nature reserve

The Meerbusch lies in the marshland on the left side of the Rhine in the area of ​​a silted up old river channel , called Kendel on the Lower Rhine .

In the east, the Meerbusch borders on Büderich with Haus Meer , the districts of Alt-Meererbusch , Necklenbroich and Niederdonk and a golf course . In the north of Meerbusch goes into to Strümp associated Strümper Busch over. In the northwest is Osterath with the district Bovert . To the west of the Meerbusch lies the Broicher side district, part of Kaarst, with a few individual farms . There is also a gravel mining area with several quarry ponds , which is cut through by the A57 .

The western part of the Meerbusch is a wetland through which the Meerscher Mühlenbach (so called because it used to drive a water mill in Haus Meer) flows from south to north . The Mühlenbach comes from the direction of the Lauvenburg , unites at the southern edge of the Meerbusch with the Schackumer Bach coming from Haus Schackum , a little further north of the border ditch (dry) coming from the northwestern forest area east of Bovert (BK-4705-017 ) and leaves the Meerbusch on the northern edge towards Strümper Busch .

Name and story

The Meerbusch (Meerer Busch) takes its name from the former noble seat and monastery Haus Meer , east of the forest , to whose lands the forest historically belonged. Its name is derived from the Lower Rhine word sea , which denotes a wetland.

The Gartenstadt Meererbusch settlement to the west of the forest and ultimately the city of Meerbusch , founded in 1970, were named after the Meerer Busch .

Biotope and protected area

In the humid lowlands on the southern and western edge of the Meerbusch, along the course of the Schackumer Bach and Mühlenbach , an intact alder quarry forest with a few isolated bodies of water, sedges and reeds has formed. These areas provide habitat for a variety of moisture-loving animals and plants, especially some rare bird and amphibian species. A transition zone of willow, poplar and ash forest, interspersed with shrubs and herbs, adjoins to the east. In the biotope cadastre, the forest area is divided into

  • the NSG Meerbusch (object identifier BK-4705-902, wet forest along the Mühlenbach),
  • the LSG Meerbusch (BK-4705-018, the core area, under forest use) and
  • the NSG Schackumer Bachtal (BK-4705-904, wet and damp meadows along the former course of the Schackumer Bach).

Some open, extensively used pasture and arable land are also part of the nature reserve. The eastern, not protected areas of the gulf consist mainly of beech and pedunculate oak.

Since 1990, the Meerbusch has been integrated into the approximately 600 hectare Strümper Busch, Meerbusch, Stinkesbachaue landscape protection area due to its location in the historically significant Altrheinrinne .
