The nature reserve Oberwiesen von Sprendlingen (NSG identification 1438026) is located in the Offenbach district in Hesse . It covers 17.02 hectares of meadows in the urban area of Dreieich .

Area description

The nature reserve is located east of the Dreieich district of Sprendlingen in the border area of ​​the natural areas of the Lower Maine Plain and Messel Hills. It is mainly wet meadows that are protected there, with communities of common groundwort and pipe grass, which are used extensively. In addition, the NSG includes fragments of a low lime bog and adjacent forest areas. There is an orchard meadow in the edge area . Breeding birds include red-backed shrimp , stonechat , nightingale and common redstart . The lapwing and common snipe have been extinct for years. Possibilities are to be sought to reintroduce these species there.

Protection purpose

The purpose of protection is to maintain and develop the wet meadows, poor grasslands, sedge reeds, tall herbaceous meadows, reeds and alder willow trees as a habitat for numerous endangered animal and plant communities. At the same time, a network is to be achieved with the nearby, ecologically similarly structured nature reserve Herrnröther- and Bornwaldswiesen von Sprendlingen . The need for protection of the Oberwiesen has been documented in several scientific studies since the 1970s. On behalf of the upper nature conservation authority, a detailed protection assessment was drawn up in 1993. The expert opinion particularly emphasizes the botanical-ecological importance of the area. Due to the long development period and the different location conditions, a diverse meadow and grassland vegetation could be established.
