history
The yellow daylily probably grew wild from gardens in the Middle Ages and is now a constant population . In 1930 the meadow was bought by the Natural Science Association for Swabia . In 1982 it was placed under protection as a natural monument . In coordination with the Lower Nature Conservation Authority and the landowner, volunteers carry out maintenance measures twice a year: In the second half of July, more competitive plant species and subterranean plant parts are removed from the daylily meadow. In addition, a four meter wide strip is mowed in the edge area. In autumn, the mowing of the remaining heather and the maintenance of the adjacent community forest are on the plan.
