The Diedersdorfer Heide and Großbeerener Graben landscape conservation area is a nearly 55 square kilometer landscape conservation area in the Teltow-Fläming district of the federal state of Brandenburg south of Berlin . The area is mainly used for agriculture and forestry, but is also used for recreational purposes.

position

The landscape protection area is located in the Teltow region with the locations (from north to south) Osdorfer Feldflur , Diedersdorfer Heide with the Mahlower Seegraben as well as Genshagener Busch and Diedersdorfer Wiesen , which are separated by the Nuthegraben.  The protected area is located in the districts of Blankenfelde, Mahlow , Osdorf , Großbeeren , Diedersdorf , Genshagen , Jühnsdorf , Dahlewitz and Rangsdorf .

From the northwest it is bordered from the Japaneck to the east by the border with Berlin, in the northeast by the towns of Mahlow and Blankenfelde , in the southeast by the Berlin–Dresden railway line , in the south by the A10 federal motorway , in the southwest by the Großbeerener Graben near the town of Großbeeren and in the west by the A101 federal highway near Großbeeren.

In the Genshagener Busch there is a flora-fauna-habitat and Natura 2000 area of ​​almost three square kilometres.

On the Berlin side, in the north in the Tempelhof-Schöneberg district, there are the two landscape conservation areas Nachtbucht (LSG-13) and Wäldchen am Königsgraben (LSG-31) as well as the nature-oriented leisure park Marienfelde and in the Steglitz-Zehlendorf district the Parks Range area , the designation of which as the Lichterfelde-Süd conservation area is being discussed.

To the south lies the Notte-Niederung landscape conservation area , and south of the A10 federal motorway lies the Rangsdorfer See nature reserve . In the extreme southeast lies the Glasowbachniederung nature reserve (previously the former Blankenfelder See ) in the landscape conservation area, which continues to the north into the Torfbusch nature reserve . East of the Dahlewitzer Heide lies the Zülowgrabenniederung nature reserve .

protective purpose

The purposes of protection are the preservation and restoration of the efficiency of the natural balance , the preservation of the diversity, the character and the beauty of the natural landscape as well as the cultural landscape shaped by human use, the safeguarding of the sustainability of the particularly important recreational function for the catchment area of ​​the Berlin agglomeration and the development of the area with a view to environmentally friendly and sustainable land use . The existing water bodies are to be renaturalized, the shore areas are to be developed into near-natural floodplain soils , the dry grassland areas are to be preserved and sustainable use for recreational purposes is to be made possible through suitable measures. The pure pine stands are to be converted into a mixed deciduous forest. The Federal Agency for Nature Conservation is responsible for administrating the protected area.

flora and fauna

Many species have been recorded in the protected area, including:

Plants:

• Pyrenean Cranesbills
• wild rapeseeds
• celandines

Animals:

• great spotted woodpeckers
• willow warblers
• yellowhammers
• great tits
• nightengales

Development

In the 19th century, the ditches in what is now the protected area were used to drain the water masses not absorbed by the sewage fields into the Nuthe . In the 1960s, land reclamation was carried out in the area of ​​the Großbeerener Graben.

After the establishment of the landscape protection area on 27 February 1998, the Brandenburg state government made several minor changes:

• January 10, 2002: Smaller areas were separated from the scope of the landscape protection area.
• June 23, 2005: Smaller areas were separated from the scope of the landscape protection area.
• 3 February 2014: The validity of the protection purposes for areas of a development plan can be revoked if the ministry responsible for nature conservation and landscape management has agreed to this.

As part of the construction work for the four-lane east-west connecting expressway Landesstraße 76 from Potsdam via Teltow to Mahlow and further to Schönefeld , which was opened in 2010 and completely divides the landscape conservation area, a number of measures were taken:

• a wildlife bridge
• an amphibian passage
• wildlife fences along the entire route
• Reforestation of approximately 17 hectares of mixed deciduous forest
• Planting of 400 deciduous and fruit trees along streets and paths
• Planting of median strips and embankments with shrubs
• a bridge over the Mahlower Seegraben (irrigation overpass)
• a bridge for a farm track
• two kilometers of new farm roads for farmers and foresters in the landscape conservation area

Miscellaneous

The Berlin Wall Trail , the Berlin North-South Trail (number 5 of the 20 green main trails ) and the Teltow Village Trail (number 15 of the 20 green main trails) cross the landscape conservation area on its northern border with Berlin.

A circular hiking trail from Genshagen to Diedersdorf Castle leads through the southern part of the landscape conservation area. In the southeastern part there is another five-kilometer-long circular hiking trail, the Natura Trail Genshagener Busch .
