The Reitling ditch with its inflow Cremlinger Bach , a 5.5 km long tributary of the honeycomb , which in Cremlingen in Wolfenbüttel created and the nature reserve Duke mountains and the landscape conservation area Herzog Mountains and adjacent parts of the landscape in predominantly westerly direction flows. In the Reitling forest area that gives it its name , it joins the fenugreek, which is over 2 km long, coming from the east. The Reitlingsgraben turns north in the Braunschweig area and joins the honeycomb at the Schöppenstedter Tower .
geography
In the forest area Reitling the earlier than training area Herzog mountains used several streams flow together to Reitling ditch. The Cremlinger Bach rises south of Cremlingen, where it is also known as the Lahegraben . It runs through the village and comes to the surface at the point indicated as the source point near the volunteer fire department. It strives to the northwest and is the receiving water of the Cremlingen sewage treatment plant. There is a brine spring in the immediate vicinity , which flows into the ditch. A few hundred meters further north rises the embankment of the A39 motorway with the “Herzogsberge” service area. The ditch flows around the mountain of the same name to the north and turns in straight sections to the south at Heidberg and the restaurant there. There it crosses open meadows, takes two more streams from the Herzogsberg and flows through a small piece of forest. In the further course through a clearing, its bank is lined with alder and other woods. It is crossed by the former Panzerstraße and enters the extensive forest area of the Herzogsberge, where it divides into small streams and reunites. Reitlingsgraben and Cremlinger Bach are regarded as one body of water.
A few hundred meters further, the fenugreek flows into it from the left ( ). This rises about two kilometers further east in the Obersickter Holz , which is related to the Reitling and the eponymous Bockshorn forest as well as the Großer Holz and is located halfway between Cremlingen and Sickte . The fenugreek partially meanders and is dammed up in the forest to form a small pond.
The Reitlingsgraben leaves the forest area after a branch to a separation structure. Before the autobahn was built, it was mainly structured like a canal, as a compensatory measure it was renatured between the former tank washing facility and the L625 state road: Small meandering sections and varied bank vegetation ensure a natural environment. To the west of the state road, it enters the wide valley of the honeycomb, which has been subject to extensive renaturation measures since 2016, but the ditch is not affected. It bends north and, before crossing the A39, has a drain to the west directly into the honeycomb. However, the stream bed continues further north and passes the Schöppenstedter Tower on the other side of the motorway. After crossing the Bundesstraße 1 , he strives for a right-hand tributary from Klein Schöppenstedt at the level of Buchhorst der Wabe.
history
Oil production
On the banks of the Reitlingsgraben near Panzerstraße there is a memorial stone for Johann Moritz Friedrich Koch (1769–1856), who "won oil on the Reitlingsanger" nearby around 1800. According to an information board at the brine spring, the presence of oil had been known since the 16th century. When drilling again in 1903, however, it was not oil that was found, but salty water.
Brine source
The salt spring is located near the sewage treatment plant and can be seen as a small pond. The last attempt was made to use this in the 1950s, until the federal government acquired the site and incorporated it into the training area. After being backfilled, it was exposed again in the 1970s.
Landscape protection area
Because it was used as a training site from 1934 to 2003 - excluding the time after the Second World War - the entire area around the Reitlingsgraben in the Herzogsbergen, especially in the forest area, has remained largely natural. The designation as a landscape protection area took place as early as 1938. Currently, several information boards point out the peculiarities of flora and fauna.
