Poggenpohlsmoor

Shrnutí

In the 1930s, the Poggenpohlsmoor was placed under protection in order to protect the moorland, which at the time was home to an unusually high number of rare plants. Wilhelm Meyer, the director of the Botanical Gardens in Oldenburg at the time, described the Poggenpohlsmoor as a “pearl among pearls” among the moors in the Oldenburg region. It is also noteworthy that the endangered moor frog is said to still be native here, so that the Poggenpohlsmoor still lives up to its name - Poggenpohl = Froschkuhle. In addition to the drier habitats of the Geest, the Poggenpohlsmoor is characterized by biotopes that are strongly influenced by water. In addition to the various types of moors that are mainly found here, there are also geest spring valleys, wet grassland areas and other habitats for animal and plant species, some of which are highly endangered.
