Spell forest

Bannwald in the Stammberg nature reserve (since 1970)

The Bannwald Stammberg is congruent with the northwestern part of the Stammberg nature reserve . It was created with a size of around 21 hectares by ordinance of the Corporate Forestry Directorate Tübingen of November 8, 2004 and has the protected area number 100019.

The protective purpose of the ban forest is to secure the uninfluenced development of the forest ecosystems with their animal and plant species as well as fungi, as well as to guarantee the scientific observation of the development. This includes the protection of the habitats and communities that are located in the area, that change in the course of the dynamic development of the forest within the protected area or that arise as a result of the dynamic development.

history

The Stammberg is one of the oldest nature reserves in the state of Baden-Württemberg. By ordinance of the higher nature conservation authority on the Stammberg nature reserve of May 11, 1942, a reserve with 31.1 hectares was designated for the first time. Originally, the reserve only comprised the steep blue grass slope on the western slope and the adjacent oak and hornbeam forest. Until 1920 the oak forest on the Stammberg was managed as a peeling forest for the extraction of Gerbrinde and as a medium forest for the removal of firewood. Up until the middle of the 20th century, viticulture was practiced on the lower and middle slopes. In 1970, 23 hectares of the Stammberg were designated as a ban forest . The protected area was supplemented by an ordinance of the District Office of the Main-Tauber district on the natural monument No. 14/18 dry slope Hintere Brehmenleite on March 10, 1992. With a regulation of the regional council of Stuttgart on the nature reserve Stammberg from August 6th 1997 the steep slopes of the Bremenleite were added and enlarged the area to 79.6 hectares. The previous ordinances (of 1942 and 1992) were simultaneously repealed by the 1997 ordinance. Together, the designated nature conservation areas of the Stammberg today form one of the largest connected dry slopes in the Tauberfranken region . At the end of the 1990s, the areas were extensively cleared.

Protection purpose

"Protection purpose is:

  • the preservation and promotion of the extensive, unshaded, poor grasslands with their extreme climatic conditions, various stages of succession and the meadows of sage and oat grass, some of which are covered with fruit trees,
  • the preservation and restoration of the warmth-loving fringing communities at the edge of the forest and the near-natural, light deciduous forests,
  • the safeguarding and improvement of the habitats of numerous rare, partly endangered and protected plant and animal species in dry and warm locations, in particular the invertebrate fauna ”( LUBW 1997).

description

flora

In the lower slope area of ​​the Stammberg there is lower Muschelkalk in a wavy limestone formation. Lime banks are unmistakable. Rubble heaps spread out below. Only the robust blue grass can withstand the constant trickling over from rock fragments. The Blaugrashalde belongs among other things to the core area of ​​the old nature reserve. The annual rainfall averages 650 liters per square meter. A soil temperature of over 50 degrees can be measured on the steep southern slopes of the Stammberg in summer.

The Blaugrashalde on the western slope of the Stammberg is considered to be the only large, naturally forest-free site in the Taubertal.

fauna

The faunistic highlight of the Stammberg is the occurrence of both species of butterfly-like living in Baden-Württemberg: long-feeling butterfly-like and dragonfly-butterfly-like . In addition, 25 warmth-loving ant species were identified, twelve of which are on the Red List of Endangered Species .
