Reißinsel, Nature reserve on Rhine River island in Mannheim, Germany.
The Reißinsel spans 275 hectares of floodplain forest with diverse habitats including silver willows, oaks, ash trees, and hornbeam specimens.
Carl Reiß acquired the peninsula in 1881, initially for clay extraction, before dedicating this land to Mannheim residents for recreational purposes.
Environmental education programs operate in the reserve, teaching local schools and organizations about forest ecosystems and wildlife conservation methods.
A 4.3-kilometer circular trail guides visitors through the forest, with access restricted between March 1 and June 30 for bird breeding season.
The northern section maintains Bannwald status, preventing forestry interventions and allowing natural processes to shape the ecosystem without human interference.
