Top 20 Lakes around Barsinghausen

The Georgsplatz and Toppiusplatz in the Deister near Wennigsen are historical sites closely associated with mining, hunting, and forestry. The Georgsplatz was created as a meeting point for miners and was supplemented in the 19th century by a royal hunting lodge. Opposite lies the Toppiusplatz, which was formerly used for hunting ceremonies and gatherings, and today still commemorates events and people from that era through monuments. Today, both squares primarily serve as quiet resting and excursion spots in the Deister.

The plaza contains various commemorative stones loosely and widely spread over it. In between there are many places to rest.

The Georgsplatz with the magnificent building ensemble, designed by the Hanoverian court architect Georg Friedrich Laves and executed by the contractor Constantin Nordmann (who also built the Nordmannsturm), and once used by King Ernst August I of Hanover as a hunting lodge, not only has an idyllic character. The simple, elegant, almost elegant design of the building really makes it an eye-catcher. You really notice the great architect here.

The lake has an area of approx. 40,000 square meters and is one of the bathing waters in the Hanover region. It was created as a gravel pond during the construction of the federal highway 6 and is now owned by the fishing club, which also takes care of the maintenance of the area or should take care of it. Sanitary facilities are no longer available. Until around the turn of the millennium, the lake had shallow, sandy entrances in several places and was therefore also very suitable for children. However, the "beach" that used to be popular with families is no longer there: it has become overgrown and there is no longer any sand to be found. The remaining entry points on the south-eastern shore of the lake are used primarily by people from Bordenau. A few dedicated swimmers regularly cut the paths and clear some entry points in summer. The regional administration regularly monitors the water quality from mid-May to mid-September. Source: https://www.bordenau.de/DerOrt/Kiesteich/index.htm

A beautiful square with old memorial stones and various seating areas.

Large eight at the trout pond draws attention to the carbon dioxide binding of the forest: In the course of advancing climate change, the forest with its important functions as a carbon dioxide absorber, oxygen producer and as a water store and filter is increasingly coming into focus. Constantin von Waldthausen, operations manager of the monastery forests, and Stefanie Crevelhörster, the new district forester of the monastery forests for the area near Barsinghausen, draw attention to the fact that eight tons of carbon dioxide are bound each year on one hectare of managed forest. In addition, the forest causes a reduction in carbon dioxide in the order of 14 percent. As part of a nationwide information campaign by the forest owners and the family businesses Land und Forst, the monastery foresters of the monastery chamber in Hanover have now set up a total of 13 eights equipped with information boards to draw the attention of both rural and urban residents to the ecological function of the local forest. In view of the enormous damage that climate change has caused in the forests in recent years, Von Waldthausen advocates that the achievements of forest managers should be recognized and rewarded more financially. Area managers Stefanie Crevelhörster and Von Waldthausen emphasize that damaged areas are also being reforested in the vicinity of the trout pond near Barsinghausen. It would also be taken into account that there is less and less precipitation in the warm season. The monastery foresters therefore intensified the reforestation with mixed forests, with more tree species such as larch, Douglas fir, pine and chestnuts being planted. The spruce and beech stands are particularly affected by climate change. The dynamics of the damage to the forest have clearly shown that one needs to invest more in the conversion of the forest than before, so financial support from society would be desirable, especially for small and medium-sized forest owners.
