Memorial for the Unknown Victims of the Rachelshausen Quarry

Remembering those killed in accidents in the quarry

Among the butterflies, it is above all the occurrence of endangered species,
which are worth mentioning: Greater Purple Butterfly, Swallowtail, Imperial Mantle,
fritillary, checkered fritillary, fritillary fritillary, white-tied fritillary, wall
Fox, Bramble Hairstreak, Mallow Skipper, Clover and Thyme.
Adjacent to the north of the actual quarrying area is a pearl grass bu-
chenwald, of which only a narrow strip is included in the protected area. In addition to the small wintergreen, numerous orchid species grow here, such as the narrow-leaved forest bird, the broad-leaved thornwort, the white
forest hyacinth or nestworm.
The forest is also the habitat of stock dove and gray woodpecker, which have their breeding grounds in

worthy of protection;
The outstanding importance of the former Rachelshausen quarry lies in the occurrence of warmth-loving open land species and raw soil
inhabitants whose populations are largely endangered due to the decline in their habitats in our cultural landscape (ant lion,
tiger beetle, saber, chessboard, sand lizard and smooth snake). There are also species in the transition area to the forest: forest birds, hollow rope
be, Imperial Mantle, Fritillary Fritillary, Fritillary Fritillary and Purple Fritillary Butterfly, and residents of wet habitats (Bombina and Natterjack Toad). It is precisely the mosaic of different niches, living conditions and habitats that determines the value of the protected area.
Disturbance by visitors, such as camps, camping, summer barbecues, mountain biking or geocaching have a particularly negative effect on the eagle owl and
can completely prevent breeding. Appropriate information, such as this leaflet or information boards, should help to reduce disruptions
especially to avoid bird life.Source: agentur-naturentwicklung.de/downloads/faltblatt-rachelshausen-k.pdf
