The Ohreaue near Altendorf and Brome is a nature reserve in the Lower Saxon municipality of Brome in the integrated municipality of Brome in the Gifhorn district .

The nature reserve with the registration number NSG BR 062 is 87.28  hectares . It is largely part of the FFH area "Ohreaue". To the north and south it borders on the “ Ohreaue ” nature reserve in Saxony-Anhalt . The area north of Brome borders to the west on the landscape protection area "Ohretal bei Altendorf". The part of the nature reserve north of Brome has been under protection since October 29, 1984, after the Ohre was dammed downstream in 1979 to create the Ohresee recreational area in Brome. The wetlands there were destroyed. The area was around 7 hectares and was called "Ohreaue bei Altendorf". On February 1, 2017, the area was expanded to include the stream of the Ohre and parts of the Bromer Bush south of Brome. Parts of the protected landscape area “Ohretal bei Altendorf”, which was designated in May 1996, were incorporated into the nature reserve. The responsible lower nature conservation authority is the district of Gifhorn.

The nature reserve is located north, east and south of Brome in natural space Luneburg Heath - Wendland on the border with Saxony-Anhalt. It also includes the stream of the Ohre. With the adjoining nature reserve in the state of Saxony-Anhalt and the nature reserves " Mittlere Ohreaue " and " Obere Ohre / Landwehr von Rade ", which adjoin a little to the north , it forms a biotope network in the Green Belt that extends along the former inner-German border .

The area of ​​the nature reserve north of Brome extends for around 600 meters along the Ohre. It was initially around 100 meters wide and consisted of the meandering course of the Ohre and surrounding wetlands, which were delimited in the west by the Ohreumfluter, which was built in 1982, and in the east by the Brome – Wendischbrome road . When the nature reserve was expanded, the areas adjoining to the west were included in the scope of the nature conservation ordinance. In the near-natural valley of the Ohre, reeds made of reeds and cane grass , sedge reeds and willow bushes can be found. The ear is accompanied by riparian herbaceous vegetation . On the edge of the Geest to the east , mixed oak forests are growing. West of the Ohreumfluter are primarily z. Sometimes moist grasslands as well as mixed oak and hornbeam forests can be found. In the far south of the original nature reserve there is still a rest of the alluvial forest .

In the area of ​​Brome as well as the further course of the ears this is anthropogenically shaped. Below Brome, the Ohre is accompanied by a narrow strip of banks included in the scope of the Nature Conservation Ordinance, which is followed by arable land .

The area of ​​the Bromer Bush south of Brome is partly located in the Ohre flood plain . It is dominated by forests, which become part Auwald character with alder , ash , willow , bird cherry and damp oak and hornbeam forests with common oak , hornbeam and ash and hazel , Common Bird Cherry, ivy , Lonicera Periclymenum and hairgrass in the shrub and herb layers have. Furthermore, oak forest on sandy soils with English oak, sand and Moorbirke , in the shrub layer with Holly and wet locations buckthorn , Hainsimsen- beech with beech as the dominant species and a herb layer of Carex Pilulifera , wavy , millet , thorny Wurmfarn , sorrel and Sevenstars and Find woodruff beech forests. The Bromer Bush is to be developed into a natural forest by 2045 . In the east of the Bromer Bush, reed zones and moist grassland connect to the ear. Pondweed and frog-bite communities with frog-bite , small duckweed , floating spawn and yellow pond rose settle in still waters in the nature reserve . In standing water is great crested newt home. The nature reserve is the habitat of the otter . In the first decade of the 21st century, the beaver immigrated to this area of ​​the ear. Furthermore, the Bromer Bush, as an alluvial forest, is the habitat of the small woodpecker , nightingale and oriole . The oak-hornbeam forest society is home to the red kite . The pug bat and water bat are also native to the nature reserve.

In 2014, the “Aktion Fischotterschutz” set up a viewing platform at the southern end and a viewing platform on the beaver dam in the north of what was then the nature reserve. In addition, the reserve is especially the forest and farm roads experienced in Bromer Busch as such. The Bromer Busch is crossed by the state road 287.

The ear serves as a connecting element between the Drömling and the Ise water system (the source of the Ise is northeast of Wittingen ). It partly has flooding water vegetation and near-natural bank vegetation.
