Voslapper Groden-Süd is the name of a nature reserve in the Lower Saxon town of Wilhelmshaven . The Voslapper Groden-Süd is one of the most important breeding, migration and wintering areas in Lower Saxony for bird species in extensive flooded reed beds.
The reserve Voslapper Groden-South with the registration NSG WE 246 was built between 1973-1974 by damming the Voslapper Grodens . Until 1979, parts of the area were used as rinsing areas. Not all of the areas originally planned for industrial settlements could be marketed and so a variety of biotopes developed on the unused areas , which offers particularly favorable living conditions for protected bird species.
The following protected bird species can be found in the NSG:
- Bittern ( Botaurus stellaris )
- Spotted Moorhen ( Porzana porzana )
- Bluethroat ( Luscinia svecica )
- Rohrschwirl ( Locustella luscinioides )
- Reed Warbler ( Acrocephalus schoenobaenus )
- Water rail ( Rallus aquaticus )
The nature reserve is located south of the Wilhelmshavener Raffineriestraße and east of the Wilhelmshaven district of Voslapp . The area of the nature reserve is 388 hectares . The area has been a nature reserve since June 1, 2006. The responsible lower nature conservation authority is the city of Wilhelmshaven.
