Protection purpose

With the protection, the plant species of the wet meadow communities and the species-rich oak-hornbeam forest are to be preserved. The meadows and the adjacent forest are to be secured and developed as a habitat, feeding and resting area for endangered animal species, especially meadow breeders.

description

The area consists of a meadow area as a larger contiguous forest clearing in the Messel Forest. The Neuwiese has been documented as Naue wyße or newe wiesen as a field name since 1518 , and extensive mowing and pasture use of the forest islands has existed since the 16th century. The open meadow areas are small-scale interlocking with varied forest structures. Several trenches crisscross the area.

The Neuwiese comprises the habitats pipes grass meadows on calcareous, peaty and clayey and silty soils ( Molinion caeruleae ) (LRT 6410) and Lowland hay meadows ( Alopecurus pratensis , Sanguisorba officinalis ) (LRT 6510) and small-area Species-rich montane and submontane bristle grass turf silicate soils ( LRT 6230). Especially in spring, the meadow area has a high density of rare blooming plants such as the Siberian iris . The dark blue ant is native here. As part of the maintenance measures of the FFH area, the preservation of the character of the meadow is supported by single mowing of the meadows and pruning .
