Pechpfuhl (Ludwigsfelde)
The Pechpfuhl is a landscape protection area in Ludwigsfelde , a medium -sized town in the Brandenburg district of Teltow-Fläming .
The area lies on the plateau of the Teltow . In the elongated southern part it is characterized by four open bodies of water and in the northern part, where it takes on the character of an upland moor , by cotton-grass moor lawns . The Pechpfuhl drains over the Leopoldsgraben into the Siethener See in the Nuthe-Nieplitz-Niederung . The name appears on a map from 1682 and probably goes back to a nearby Pechhütte . The Pechpfuhl has been protected as a landscape protection area (LSG) since March 14, 1958 , by a resolution of the Potsdam District Council .
Location, natural space and geology
The Pechpfuhl borders directly on the residential areas of the northwestern Ludwigsfeld core city. It is located in the Siethener Heide forest area and extends south-west on the Teltow. This elongated depression, to which the Pechpfuhl belongs, begins at Ludwigsfelder Potsdamer Straße and is built over to the end of Moselstraße today. From there it appears as a pit of bad luck. For the construction of Potsdamer Straße, today's Ludwigsfelder Hauptstraße, in 1929 a swath had to be cut through the former swamp area. The road was laid out to connect the then independent Struveshof with its around 400 inhabitants (mostly pupils of the Struveshofer Landerziehungsheim) with Ludwigsfelde, which at that time only had around 200 inhabitants. When the terrain was leveled, small sand hills were removed and swamp and water holes in the glacial channel were filled in.
The flat, undulating ground moraine surface of the Teltow , which is on average ten to twenty meters thick , was formed around 20,000 years ago in the Brandenburg stage of the Vistula Ice Age . During the ice cover, the depression of the pitch pool was created as a glacial channel by meltwater under the ice (subglacial) . "A morphological peculiarity of the otherwise flat to slightly undulating and gently sloping ground moraine plate is the approach of a lake channel, which was created under the inland ice by melt water and appeared in the post-ice age." The ice age waters overflowed under the ice from today's Pechpfuhl the area of the Leopoldsgraben into the Siethener See and further over the Gröbener See , Schiaßer See and Grössinsee to the Blankensee . After the Gröbener See or after the Nuthe , the drainage path ran against the current direction of flow of the Nieplitz , which today forms a hypertrophic river-lake system in the lower reaches of the last three lakes and drains into the Nuthe. With the melting of the ice, a river valley-like drainage path was initially established south of the Pechpfuhl . It ran across the subglacial flow direction from east to west and cut the older channel between the Gröbener and the Schiaßer See. Today the Nuthe flows within the glacial valley.
If the Teltow is otherwise fertile soils that have emerged from the marl boulder, poorer sandy soils dominate the landscape around the Pechpfuhl, as the marl boulder is largely absent here. In addition, extensive dunes were blown. At the edge of the inland dunes , some moist depressions with fractures and stagnant water formed on the loamy ground there .
Flora and fauna
The dry, sandy Teltow soils in the vicinity of the lake are characterized by extensive pine stands . Alder forests dominate the break area itself . On swinging moorland between the lakes and on their floating islands made of floating mats rare plants like the one in Germany are particularly protected carnivorous sundew ( Drosera ) and cotton grass before.
To the diverse birdlife on bad luck Pfuhl include, for example Wagtails ( Motacilla alba ), Jay ( Garrulus glandarius ) and from the family of the great tits , among other Marsh Tits ( Poecile palustris ). The great spotted woodpecker ( Dendrocopos major ), bird of the year 1997, and the bird of the year 2004 as well as the strictly protected wren ( Troglodytes troglodytes ) can also be found. From the early warning of the Red List of Germany are Skylark ( Alauda arvensis ) and the Common Redstart ( Phoenicurus phoenicurus ) represented.
For amphibians inventory include: edible frog ( Rana . Kl esculenta ), moor frog ( Rana arvalis ), common toad ( Bufo bufo ) and smooth newt ( Triturus vulgaris ). From the vertebrate - class of reptiles , there are occurrences of after bundesartenschutzverordnung (BArtSchV) specially protected forest lizard ( Zootoca vivipara ). Carp such as roach ( Rutilus rutilus ) and the pure predatory fish pike and perch are native to the lakes .
Nature trail
Various paths and trails lead through the Pechpfuhl area. A main hiking trail runs along the Pfuhl and Leopoldgraben to the forester's lodge on Siethener See and via the Märkisches Wanderdorf to Gröben . The approximately 4.5 kilometer long path is designed as a nature trail with information boards on flora and fauna . The renewal of the path and the expansion of a hiking trail from Pechpfuhl to Ahrensdorf are part of the city's current hiking trail concept.
Bad luck in literature
The novel Tupolew 134 from 2004 by Antje Rávic Strubel , who was awarded several literary prizes and grew up in Ludwigsfelde, has the city and the Pechpfuhl as its setting in wide passages. The author tells the kidnapping of a Tupolev 134 to Tempelhof by GDR citizens in 1978 on three time levels. The last level describes the memory work 25 years after the escape and the middle level the court hearing at the West Berlin airport. In the prehistory, the author lets the kidnappers work in the IFA Kombinat Ludwigsfelde . After work, she sends her main characters several times either to the old pitcher or to the Pechpfuhl. In the novel, the Pechpfuhl becomes the scene of pranks played by the main characters in the school age of their teacher, a place for relaxation and jogging, and the first quarrel between the novel characters Katja and the West German GDR visitor Meerkopf take place at the Pfuhl. For example, Strubel writes:
“It was spring, it had rained, and the forest floor splashed up on her shoes. The forest floor at the Pechpfuhl consisted largely of cigarette butts and burned down matches. If the wind came from the side of the road, it drove the butts and matches into the pool, where they mix with the duckweed during the course of the year. In such a weather the wood remains empty. "
