The Brammer nature reserve is a 59.8  hectare area that has been under nature protection since 2004 . It is located southeast of the Harpstedt town center and there 200 meters east of the L 776 state road that leads from Harpstedt to Bassum .

Purpose of the reserve with the license plate number NSG WE 244 "the preservation and development of Brammer Moores and the the surrounding Brammer Moor Moor Schlatts as valuable Klein Moore with typical species and communities of high and transition Moore. Also included was a naturally managed forest that emerged from heather , in whose herb layer various dwarf shrubs still predominate today . "

The Brammer Moor was originally a basin without drainage. The Annenriede , also called "Annengraben" or "Hungergraben", was only created in 1847 to drain the moor above ground. The Annenriede divides the Brammer Moor today into two differently defined sub-areas. While a moor birch-pine forest with embedded manual peat cuttings and moor heather has developed on the west side, high moor vegetation has developed in the east and northeast.

The nature reserve is also a drinking water protection area. The Harpstedt waterworks of the OOWV have been drawing groundwater from the forests in the surrounding state forest of Brammer since 1967.

history

Until 1948 the Brammer Moor was used as a rural manual peat dig for the extraction of peat as fuel.

With the first ordinance of December 10, 2004 and coming into force on December 18, 2004, the area between Harpstedt and Dünsen was declared a nature reserve. The district of Oldenburg is responsible as the lower nature conservation authority.
