Nature reserve Burgberg Hachen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The nature reserve Burgberg Hachen with an area of ​​2.5  hectares is located in the middle of Hachen in the urban area of Sundern and in the Hochsauerlandkreis . The area was designated as a nature reserve (NSG) by the district council of the Hochsauerlandkreis in 2019 with the Sundern landscape plan . Only in the north is the NSG not surrounded by the buildings of Hachen. The Sundern nature reserve borders in the north . The ruins of Hachen Castle and the surrounding mountain slopes are located in the NSG . In the Sundern landscape plan from 1993, the area of ​​the NSG was still without any protection designation.

description

The landscape plan explains the NSG: “ Hachen Castle was built around the year 1000. The ruined walls made of Kulmplattenkalk show typical wall joint vegetation. Next to the castle ruins is a war memorial that was inaugurated in 1924. The mountainside around the castle is a sycamore mixed forest with a species-rich layer of shrubs and herbs. Some of the old trees on the mountain slope are very old sycamore maples, ash trees, sessile oaks and, in places, Norway maples, pines and larches. On the slopes that are exposed to the south, some of which are very steep and rich in block debris, the mixed forest is characterized as maple-ash-slope debris forest. This maple-ash slope rubble forest is designated as a protected biotope and a priority FFH habitat type (No. 9180). The hillside rubble forest below the war memorial was cleared to allow a view of the town. The castle hill is an isolated limestone site and, together with the ruined walls, represents an isolated valuable habitat for lime-loving plant and animal species. “The NSG has a particularly rich mollusc fauna (snail fauna ). According to the landscape plan, the castle hill is “an important stepping stone biotope of the limestone slope debris forests with their typical range of plants and animals”. Events on the castle ruins are exempt from the prohibitions of the landscape plan as long as they do not run counter to the protective purpose of the nature reserve.

Protection purpose

According to the landscape plan, it was designated as:

  • "Protection, conservation and restoration of rare forest communities, especially in their function as stepping stone and refuge biotopes;"
  • "Protection and preservation of forest and ruin-typical communities."
  • "The NSG also serves to sustainably secure habitats that are particularly worthy of protection according to § 30 BNatschG and the occurrence of rare animal and plant species."

Prohibition and requirement for NSG

A special prohibition and requirement was issued for the NSG .

The prohibition reads "In the area of ​​the marked" areas with information in the text ", which are the protected biotopes according to § 30 BNatschG, forestry is generally prohibited. A single trunk use, which serves to secure the slope (traffic safety) and which takes place with special consideration for the biotopes to be protected and after consultation with the forestry office of the Landesbetrieb Wald und Holz and the UNB of the HSK, is free. ”With these areas is the maple ash - Sloping rubble forest, which is a protected biotope and a priority FFH habitat type. The command is "The UNB of the HSK is to be involved before the renovation and maintenance of the ruins."

Use of voluntary nature conservation for NSG designation

The voluntary nature conservation, more precisely the association for nature and bird protection in the Hochsauerlandkreis and the BUND -HSK, have been campaigning for an NSG designation since 2010. After submitting an NSG claim in 2010, intensive discussions were held with the Lower Nature Conservation Authority (UNB) in 2012. Since the UNB initially refused to be expelled because the ruins of Hachen Castle were being used by the town of Hachen, the State Office for Nature, Environment and Consumer Protection in North Rhine-Westphalia was turned on. The LANUV mapped the area and clearly established the nature conservation merit. The UNB then included the castle hill as a NSG in the landscape plan .
