Clarification ponds near Baddeckestedt

One of the clarification ponds near Baddeckestedt

The clarification ponds at Baddeckestedt are a little northwest of Baddeckestedt. This is to stack as ponds called lagoons of a former sugar factory of Nordzucker . After it was closed in 2001, the Paul Feindt Foundation bought the site for 250,000 euros.

The five, about 1.5 meters deep, clearing ponds on an area of ​​over 20 hectares are habitat for numerous water birds . As breeding birds come u. a. Little Grebe , Schwarzhals- and red-necked grebe and great crested grebe in front, as well as mute swan , heron , Pochard and Bläss- and moorhen . In addition, u. a.

Derneburg ponds

One of the Derneburg fish ponds

The Derneburg ponds are located near Derneburg in the municipality of Holle. They were created as fish ponds by Cistercian monks from the former Derneburg monastery at the time of Abbot Gottfried Arnu (1718–1766) . The Derneburg watermill , which is located on an arm of the Nette on the edge of the area, dates from 1598.

Under Count Ernst zu Münster , who owned the former monastery complex in 1814 as a result of the connection of the Principality of Hildesheim to the Kingdom of Hanover from the English King George III. as a gift for his achievements at the Congress of Vienna , the facility was redesigned to an English landscape garden, whereby the fish ponds could also be used, which were expanded into a water landscape.

Since 1955 the ponds belonged to the state domain Derneburg and were also used as fish ponds. When the state domain of Derneburg was dissolved in 2007, the Paul Feindt Foundation bought the ponds, including the water mill, from the state of Lower Saxony.

The ponds are still managed and used for carp breeding. So that nature conservation and fish farming can be combined with one another, small white fish are released in the ponds as prey for the water birds, which are then eaten instead of the young carp . The dams between the ponds are grazed with sheep so that they do not become overgrown.

The Derneburg ponds are an important habitat and breeding biotope for numerous water birds. So come here u. a. Greylag goose , mute swan, tufted pochard and pochard, great crested grebe, little grebe and black-necked grebe as well as numerous other ducks , but also various rails . Numerous other bird species are also native, including the gray heron , dipper , gray wagtail and kingfisher. In the mid-1970s, the ponds formed the starting point for the only inland breeding population of the middle sawmill in Lower Saxony. In addition, the ponds, which can be seen from well-developed paths, are a habitat for various amphibians , insects and bats, such as noctule , bearded, dwarf , broad-winged and water bat . Part of the Laves culture trail in Derneburg runs south of the ponds within the nature reserve.
