Area description

The nature reserve is located in the west of Seligenstadt between the state road L2310 and the Harressee in Froschhausen . The Schwarzbruch is part of the Holocene Main floodplain with extensive wet grassland, deciduous forests and several ponds. It emerged from a silted-up, post-glacial oxbow lake of the Main . The removal of the peat layer there, up to two meters thick, created pools and ponds - an ideal habitat for amphibians. Earlier there were frog and toad very numerous; after the construction of a golf course, their stocks decreased significantly.

Protection purpose

The purpose of the protection is to preserve and develop a part of the Holocene Main floodplain that is particularly rich in species and structure with semi-natural deciduous forests, valuable wet grassland, reeds and sedge beds as a habitat for numerous endangered animal and plant species. The landscape emerged from a post-glacial main arm, silted up to a layer of peat. Its dismantling created ponds and ponds. However, these spawning grounds for amphibians are endangered by shrub succession and shade.
