The Nienwohlder Moor is a nature reserve in the Schleswig-Holstein communities of Sülfeld and Itzstedt in the Segeberg district and the communities of Nienwohld and Jersbek in the Stormarn district.
The approximately 398 hectare nature reserve is entered under number 100 in the list of nature reserves of the Ministry of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Areas. It was expelled in 1982 (date of regulation: March 25, 1982). The nature reserve replaces the nature reserve of the same name that was designated in 1980. It is part of the FFH area "Alster system to Itzstedter See and Nienwohlder Moor" and the EU bird sanctuary "Alsteriederung". In the south it borders on the landscape protection area "Nienwohld". The responsible lower nature conservation authority are the Stormarn and Segeberg districts.
The nature reserve is located northeast of Hamburg between the towns of Nienwohld, Nahe, Itzstedt and Sülfeld. It protects a drained and mostly peaty raised bog area, which is the largest and best preserved raised bog residue in Schleswig-Holstein. In the north it borders on the former railway line of the Elmshorn-Barmstedt-Oldesloer Eisenbahn.
