The Nuthewiesen are a wet biotope in the southeast of Potsdam and in districts of the municipality of Nuthetal , south of Berlin. Some of them are designated as a nature reserve and represent a fresh air corridor for Potsdam. Another - 3.64 hectare - part of it was until 1972 a West Berlin exclave of the Zehlendorf district . On December 20, 1971, this was exchanged for a driveway to the nearby, also Zehlendorfer exclave Steinstücke , whereby the GDR also received four million Deutschmarks .
Babelsberger and Drewitzer Nuthewiesen
In the southeast of Potsdam, which draws lowlands of Nuthe , in the Lower Flaeming springs, like a green wedge with backwaters of the river course and a spacious contiguous mosaic of grassland, willow bushes and reeds far into the city and flows towards the Friendship Island in the Havel. The meadows, which are also used for agriculture in some places, offer animals - especially birds - and rare plants an inner-city refuge.
A hiking trail of the same name accompanies the main arm of the Nuthe between Rehbrücke and downtown Potsdam. The Nuthewiesen part of the conservation area "Nuthetal - Beelitzer Sander" (this has a size of 41 675 hectares). Since the mid-1990s, parts (approx. 90 hectares) of the straightened river course between Drewitz and Rehbrücke have been renatured . In the process, some oxbow lakes were exposed and fish ladders were set up. With the renaturation, the groundwater level of the surrounding areas increased and areas that were not suitable for agriculture were given biotope protection .
The Wetzlar Railway crosses the meadows between the Potsdam-Rehbrücke and Potsdam- Medienstadt stations .
The Schlaatz and Am Stern residential areas and the industrial area Rehbrücke , with the city's largest thermal power station, are located on part of the Nuthewiesen . The Potsdamer Nuthe expressway as part of the L 40 and connection to the A 115 and B 96 runs partly parallel to the elongated course of the meadows and the river of the same name, and passes north when crossing Stahnsdorf , Kleinmachnow , Teltow and Mahlow at Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) to Berlin ( Treptow-Köpenick ).
