location

The so-called Ur-Oeder map, the first Saxon land survey by cartographer Matthias Oeder from the 16th and 17th centuries, shows the Strangk near the Heinrichsthaler ponds , east of the Landwehr and the road to Pulsnitz . In the "Topographical Atlas of the Kingdom of Saxony" by Jakob Andreas Hermann Oberreit , the area is referred to as Strangholz and borders immediately to the north on the Hüttertal . In the area of ​​the former forest there are now agricultural fields , the state road (S) 158 from Radeberg to Großröhrsdorf and the suburban settlement of Radeberg .

history

View from the Landwehr towards Hüttertal over the former forest area

Strankholz as a piece of forest has been handed down in writing since the 16th century at the latest. Around the middle of the 19th century, the forest began to be cleared and converted into usable areas. A proportion of silt was found in the soil of the newly created fields, which improved the water capacity of the area and made it more suitable for agriculture. By the middle of the 20th century, almost all of the forest was cleared and the land that was gained was converted into fields. Reading stones in the former forest area are ice-age deposits of native and Nordic rock types from the Elster glaciation .

The field areas and open spaces between the Landwehr and the suburban settlement of Radeberg, including the area of ​​the former Strankholz, are declared as a regional green corridor for the purpose of maintaining a species protection and biotope network .
