    "On the city limits of Mülheim located forest with approx. 9.29 hectares, which as the westernmost part of the large Duisburg-Mülheim forest borders on railway grounds and settlements and is separated from the actual Duisburg-Mülheim forest by the A3 motorway.

    It is a lowland area with quarry forest aspects that merge into birch-oak forest areas in drier sections, partly mixed with beeches in the south. The herb layer is characteristically dominated by ferns, especially bracken, and blackberries. Young wood, including maple, is quite dense in places. The quarry forest areas - already existing birch quarry sections and wet areas that are still developing, partly with dominant black alder - have previously become drier due to decades of drainage and are now rewetted by means of water accumulation, as a result of which the quarry forest vegetation spreads more strongly again.

    An important structure of the area also consists of bomb craters, which have developed into forest ponds, and sometimes also into rivers. The central area consists of an extremely wet birch quarry with an extensive layer of peat moss, which emphasizes the area's particular need for protection. The rare and endangered forest vegetation and flora is well developed here and is in the process of further development, since drainage ditches have been deactivated by nature conservation measures.

    The area is of great importance as a habitat for endangered plant and animal species. As part of the biotope network, the area is of outstanding importance as a stepping stone biotope. "
