The approximately two-hectare city moat is located in the heart of Wolfenbüttel. The body of water, which is the size of two large football stadiums, is used for a variety of purposes, which, however, also results in a lack of suitable refuges for rare (aquatic) animals and plants. And: Feeding waterfowl, as well as branches falling into the city moat, results in too many nutrients in the water. This has a negative impact on water quality and aquatic organisms, says Udo Berger, chairman of the angling club. The club has now implemented a joint project with the city of Wolfenbüttel to counteract these disadvantages for the local flora and fauna. For years, the angling club has been working to maintain and preserve native fish stocks in Wolfenbüttel's city moat. A few days ago, the club created two more floating islands in the city moat. One island was already installed last year.

The approximately two-hectare city moat is located in the heart of the city of Wolfenbüttel. As a central park body of water, the pond provides a valuable recreational space for various user groups. However, the diverse use of the water body also results in a lack of suitable refuges for rarer (aquatic) animals and plants, and the nutrient load in the water body is constantly increasing due to uncontrolled feeding of waterfowl, which has a negative impact on water quality and aquatic organisms (such as fish and aquatic insects). The installation of the floating islands is intended to promote biodiversity – across all species groups – in this heavily used park body of water by providing suitable habitats and refuges.

Richmond Castle (Click to enlarge) Richmond Castle © Braunschweig Stadtmarketing GmbH/Daniel Möller In the south of Braunschweig there is a historical gem on Wolfenbütteler Straße: the Richmond Palace complex, the former refuge of Duchess Augusta (1737/1780-1813). The charming group of buildings consisting of a pleasure palace and outbuildings is surrounded by an English landscape park, much of which has been restored in recent years. The view extends over ponds, winding paths and along groups of trees to a small temple in the distance. A visit is particularly worthwhile in May when the large rhododendrons are blooming.
