The Garchinger Heide nature reserve is located in the area and southeast of the municipality of Eching in the Freising district (Bavaria). It was described botanically for the first time in 1854 and in 1908 the Bavarian Botanical Society began to buy land with donations. The company was able to acquire 27 hectares (as of 2015). The area has been under nature protection since 1942 and is now designated NSG-00389.01.

With 218 verified plant species, of which more than 50 are on the Red List of Endangered Species - including the Pasque Flower ( Pulsatilla patens ), which only occurs here in Germany and is protected according to the Habitats Directive (Appendix II) - 40 lichens , Of which 12 are on the red list, 34 mosses , mushrooms and a large number of animal species, this heather area is of national importance.

Area description

Because of the combination of drought and lack of nutrients, plant species have been preserved in the Garching Heath that have been displaced elsewhere by more competitive species. These come from very different botanical regions. During the ice ages, alpine species migrated from the glaciated mountains into the foreland. In addition, sub-Mediterranean species spread over Provence and the western Alpine foothills to what is now Bavaria. Another migratory movement comes from the southeast, where Pontic floral elements from the Black Sea region came into the area. There are also plant species from the Pannonian steppes of Hungary that spread to the Garching Heath during the Ice Ages.

This combination of species from four major regions is unique and the Garching Heath and its surroundings are the last remaining part of this landscape, which in 1850 was 15,000 hectares in size.

The climate in the area of ​​the nature reserve is weakly subcontinental with a summer maximum rainfall. The average annual precipitation is 883 mm and the annual mean temperature is 9 ° C with a mean minimum in January of -2 ° C and a mean maximum in July of 18 ° C.

Origin and earlier use

The Garching Heath is a relic of the cultural landscape that once covered the entire north of the Munich gravel plain. It owes its appearance to the gravel that was carried out into the plain at the end of the ice ages by the melting glaciers and their enormous water masses. The gravel is a dry site because water quickly seeps into the deep-lying groundwater and is poor in nutrients because hardly any nutrients were brought into the area until artificial fertilizers were available.

Two groups of tumuli in the northeast and southeast of the nature reserve date from the Bronze Age (1800–1000 BC). The Bavarians put on the barren soil in the early Middle Ages Hochäcker on, the remains of which can still be seen in the east of the nature reserve. Through the use as general pasture land ( common land ) up to the end of the 19th century for sheep, cattle, goats and pigs or a single grass meadow, the landscape-defining low-growing limestone grassland was created, which was only occasionally interrupted by hedges and trees. The conversion to arable land began after the common land was divided among the local farmers towards the end of the 19th century. Between 1907 and 1914 the Bavarian Botanical Society bought 23 hectares of land to prevent it from being converted into arable land. It was not until 1942 that the area was officially designated as the “Garchinger Heide” nature reserve, but in the last months of the war in 1945, forced laborers from the Dachau concentration camp began to remove the top layer of gravel by hand to create a 40 m wide and 300 to 400 m long runway for the Schleissheim military airport create. Next to the runway, foxholes of around 1 m² were dug, which are still half a meter deep today.

As a result of additional land purchases in 1933, 1959 (former Acker Ost) and in the 1960s (former Acker Ost), the Garching Heath now comprises 27.13 hectares, of which 26.89 hectares are a nature reserve. Within the nature reserve, the topsoil was removed on two areas next to the runway in 1980 (1829 m²) and 2000 and gravel was applied to the south-western runway. In 1993, new limestone lawns were created in the vicinity of the Garching Heath by removing topsoil and transferring cuttings.

The uniqueness of the Garching Heath is made up of plants from different flora areas, such as the sub-Mediterranean species Hügel-Meier ( Asperula cynanchica ), calyx oat ( Danthonia alpina ) and horseshoe clover ( Hippocrepis comosa ), alpine species such as Clusius gentian ( Gentiana clusii ) and heart leaved ball flower ( Globularia cordifolia ) or Pontic species such as pheasant's eye ( Adonis vernalis ) and pasqueflower ( Pulsatilla patens ).

fauna

The fauna of the Garching Heath included the palp beetle (Pselaphidae) , which was only described by Herrmann Daffner in 1984 and discovered here, Tychobythinus bavaricus , which is now considered extinct. In addition, the ant beetles (Scydmaenidae) Cyinindis angularis and Neuraphes angulatus , the big flat beetle (Silvanidae) Airaphilus elongatus and the palp beetles Bryaxis femoratus and Amauronyx maerkeli were detected. The former demonstrated here Heide-cricket ( Gampsocleis glabra ) is considered extinct.

maintenance

Gap and dry vegetation in the Garching Heath

Strip mowing is carried out in the “Garchinger Heide” nature reserve as maintenance use. The central area is divided into strips approx. 40 m wide, which until 1998 were mowed alternately in October; since 1999, mowing has been carried out earlier (end of July to September) for the transfer of cuttings. For each individual strip this corresponded to a mowing every two years. The strip mowing is intended to prevent encroachment and enable small animals to hibernate in the unmown strip.

In order to counteract the matting of the vegetation and the increase in the litter layer, the “fallow portion” has been reduced since 2004, so that three strips are mowed each year and only the fourth strip is “fallow”. The edge areas and the former field are mowed annually at the end of July / beginning of August.

Protected area networking and expansion

The species and biotope protection program of the district of Freising and the heath development plan of the neighboring districts aim to create a biotope network with the neighboring protected areas Echinger Lohe , Mallertshofer Holz with Heiden and the Isar floodplains. For this purpose, as part of a test and development project (E + E) from 1992 to 1998, agricultural areas were purchased or leased and the humus-rich layers of soil were removed. The total of 62 hectares for the heather development consist of 30 hectares of land, 5.5 hectares of parish land and 27 hectares of long-term lease of "Kirchengrund". Cuttings from the core area with the seeds contained in it were spread on the emaciated soil. As a result, up to 80 heather species were settled on these gravel locations for particularly drought-loving species. From 1992 to 2002 scientific studies were carried out by the Technical University of Munich . As a result, 68 target species, including 12 Red List species, such as the pasque flower ( Pulsatilla patens ) could be established on 10 hectares.

Around the heather there is a buffer zone of extensively used meadows in order to reduce the nutrient input from outside. The costs of over 2.7 million euros were borne by the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation, the Bavarian Nature Conservation Fund and the Heath Area Association Munich North. A bridge was built over the A9 motorway, which enables migratory animal species to cross between the Garchinger Heide and Echinger Lohe to the east and Mallertshofer Holz to the west of the motorway. The sheep , which are used for biotope maintenance in the heathland, are also driven over these .
