history

The area was created as a dead ice hole over 10,000 years ago. The thawing ice left a surface of water that was then swamped with a flow moor up to three meters thick. Water streamed into the moor from the terminal moraine to the north , and higher elevations were covered with drifting sands.

The Swedish registration card from 1697 shows a swampy pasture land. The Hartmann ponds in the western part go back to peat cuttings. The name comes from the last tenant of the land. The peat was used from the beginning of the 19th century in the nearby Greifswald saltworks and later in a brick factory. During the GDR era, the ponds were used as fish rearing waters. The area was drained through ditches with a pumping station to the Ryck . In the drier northern part of the area, gravel mining and arable use took place. As part of the renaturation , the trenches were closed in 1993, which caused the water levels to rise sharply. The northern areas have been grazed again since 1994 after lying fallow for decades.
