Landgrabenwiesen nature reserve near Werder​

Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania

The nature reserve Landgrabenwiesen near Werder is a 95 hectare nature reserve in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania between the towns of Werder and Dahlen . A typical section of a valley bog of the Kleiner Landgraben with wet meadows is to be preserved. The designation took place on June 19, 1972. The nature reserve was expanded in 1975.

The nature reserve, together with the nature reserve Beseritzer Torfwiesen and an adjacent area to the north, forms the FFH area Talmoorkomplex of the Kleiner Landgraben near Werder .

history

The Landgrabental was created as a late Ice Age drainage channel. In the areas of today's protected area, a flow moor up to four meters thick formed , which was used in the 19th century to dig peat through the creation of small peat cuttings. The field designation horse meadows indicates the use in some areas. In the 1940s, a larger peat cut was made in which the peat was cut by machine. A conversion to intensive grassland was planned in GDR times, but could be prevented by placing it under protection.
