The Pritzerber Laake is an extensive alder forest in the north of the city of Havelsee to the south of the community of Nennhausen , north of the Seelensdorfer Forest . It formed in an Ice Age glacial channel or in an old Elbe river . Today the quarry forest is designated as a nature reserve.

History of origin

The Pritzerber Laake was created during the last, the Vistula glaciation, as a melt water channel flowing away from the ice edge layers in the area of ​​today's Nauener Platte . After the inland ice has retreated, the low-lying areas moss. This was intensified by the fact that an extensive range of dunes sealed off the Laake to the south. Later, the Pritzerber Laake, as evidenced by some phenomena, was flown through by an Elbarm as a flood valley, far from the current course. In the south there is a noticeable and wide breakthrough with straight edges through the dunes, the Pritzerber Laake appears to be meandering and there are typical sediments, the so-called Elbe slick. The period is assumed to be between the late Atlantic and Subboreal .

Pritzerber Laake nature reserve

The Pritzerber Laake is a designated and 1270 hectare nature reserve in 1994. During the last ice age, a meltwater channel formed in which the wetland is located. The primary form of vegetation are alder forests with the predominant downy birch in an area that is unique for the state of Brandenburg.

In the swamp forests there are numerous moors and swamps as well as four small lakes, which were formed in former clay pits, from which the raw material for the surrounding brickworks was extracted by 1914 at the latest. In the eastern half of the nature reserve, the two beech nest holes were created, which are separated from each other by a peninsula. In the western half are the three Hohleweghorstlöcher (Hensel's holes). These anthropogenic lakes are the habitat of rare animal and plant species. Beavers and otters live in the nature reserve.

The quarry forests are broken up by sand ridges with pine and oak forests . The mixed deciduous forests are home to strictly protected species such as stag beetles , black storks and white-tailed eagles. There are also rare bat species such as the pug bat that settle in the old trees and a large number of red deer . Other species native to the nature reserve are crane, bitterling , crested newt, marsh orchid , umbel , flesh-colored orchid, king fern and water feather . 511 hectares of the nature reserve Pritzerber Laake belong to FFH area Pritzerber Laake and 2000 European network of protected areas Natura addition is the Pritzerber Laake part of the conservation area, Westhavelland, the Westhavelland Nature Park and the SPA area or European bird sanctuary lowlands of the Lower Havel.
