The " black must "; Excerpt from "Plan Over The Forest Weithardt, So Abgethaillet Been Ao: 1740" (around 1743)

The Schwarzes Moos area is a nature reserve (NSG number 4.312) in the northwest of the Baden-Württemberg community of Ostrach in the district of Sigmaringen in Germany, which was designated by ordinance of December 7, 2005 by the Tübingen regional council .

history

The approximately 25 Jauchert (= around ten hectares ) large black moss was the largest after the re-division of the Weithart in 1740 and is the only remaining compromise site today.

A compromise place is a " desolate place ", an area within a wooded area that does not seem suitable for tree planting. In the Weithart there were “ barren places ” with an area of ​​27 hectares in 1740 ; they had to remain open for common pasture use.

In 1845 the swampy, barren wasteland was sold to the Levertsweiler community for little money . In the same year the boundaries against the forest were defined and straightened so that the current rectangular shape was created. Later the moor was drained and cultivated. In 1870, 300 guilders were paid for one acre of the property  .

At the end of the 1980s, the black moss was divided into 52 parcels, which belonged to 22 different, mostly Levertsweiler citizens.

location

Today eleven-hectare nature reserve Black Moss is one natural area to the Danube Ablach plates . It is eight kilometers northwest of the center of Ostrach and northwest of Habsthal in the Weitharter Forest, southwest of the intersection of state roads 268 and 286 at an altitude of 642  m above sea level.
