    Until the middle of the 19th century, the three “Krickmeere” (Krick Seas), named after a species of duck that used to be numerous here, the teal, lay on the edge of a moor-covered ice-age glacial channel.

      After the so-called "Black Friday" 1929 on the New York Stock Exchange, millions of people in Germany became unemployed. The local unemployed in the municipality of Schortens (so-called "emergency workers") were offered a job in the years 1930 to 1933 in the course of the manual drainage and reclamation of this bog channel.

        After the subsequent reforestation work was completed in 1936, pine, spruce and, above all, the North American Sitka spruce grew here. Since 2005, this area has been gradually transformed back into a moor landscape that is as original as possible by the Lower Saxony State Forests in the course of compensatory and replacement measures. So far, about 24 hectares have been renatured, an extension is possible.
