The Kirchderner Wald nature reserve is a nature reserve in the Dortmund district of Scharnhorst and is located north of the former Westfalenhütte steelworks . It covers 26.4 hectares. The "Kirchderner Wald" nature reserve was established with the first change to the Dortmund-North landscape plan on September 2, 2005.

description

The area was laid out as a protective barrier between the industrial area and the residential development by the owners of the plant before the Second World War . The area has retained its inaccessibility to this day. Thus it offers a habitat even for grass snakes and midwife toads . Rare plants such as the wall rock flower , the meadow hawkweed and the sea ​​buckthorn also grow here. An orchid population has settled in a sheltered place. More than 31 breeding bird species have been found in the area.

A sludge dump that can be recultivated after it has been closed offers future development areas.

Protection goals

As described in the designation of the nature reserve, the protection goal is the preservation of the near-natural deciduous forests with their ponds and wetlands and the fallow and succession areas in order to preserve the area in its biodiversity of animal and plant species as well as its rarity, uniqueness and beauty.
