Tiergarten und Schachblumenwiese, Protected area in Sassenberg, Germany
The Tiergarten und Schachblumenwiese reserve encompasses 91 hectares of natural land featuring diverse habitats and native plant species near Sassenberg's center.
Initially established in 1956 with 1.8 hectares, the protected area expanded to 91 hectares in 2016 to include sections of the adjacent Sassenberg Tiergarten forest.
The area reflects the historical garden culture of the 17th century when Fritillaria meleagris flowers were planted in baroque gardens by Prince-Bishop Christoph Bernhard von Galen.
Information panels installed in 2017 guide visitors through the reserve while providing details about its natural and historical significance at key points.
The reserve holds a rare population of white Fritillaria meleagris, with numbers increasing from 1,000 specimens in 2014 to 4,025 in 2020.
