Protection purpose
The purpose of protection is the preservation, safeguarding and development of the Federbach as a brook floodplain typical of the Rhine lowlands on an old loop of the Rhine with reeds and large sedge stocks as well as willow bushes, alders and other plants in humid locations as well as an element that defines and structures the landscape in the Rhine plain.
In addition, the large number of plant communities in their typical, near-natural to natural manifestations with all variants from wet and humid to dry locations with all the relict occurrences of formerly extensive pipe grass meadow communities and sandy grass communities on extremely dry locations should be secured.
The occurrence of regionally important bird species as well as other animal species, especially insect species, which are bound to the diverse habitat structures and the occurrence of almost all amphibian species native to Baden-Württemberg with one of the largest tree frog populations in the state, should also be preserved and secured.
