The FFH area Rheinniederung and Hardtebene between Lichtenau and Iffezheim is a protected area (protected area identifier DE-7114-311) in the German state registered in 2015 by the Karlsruhe Regional Council in accordance with Directive 92/43 / EEC (Fauna-Flora-Habitat Directive) Baden-Württemberg . From 2005 to 2015 there were two areas, namely the Rhine lowlands from Lichtenau to Iffezheim as well as rough grassland and forests between Sandweier and Stollhofen . The LUBW merged the two areas in 2015, whereby the protected areas have practically not changed. With the ordinance of the regional council of Karlsruhe on the definition of areas of community importance of October 12, 2018, the protected area was established.
