Maudacher Bruch, Protected nature area in Ludwigshafen, Germany
Maudacher Bruch spans 523 hectares in a horseshoe shape between the districts of Gartenstadt, Oggersheim, and Maudach, with a width of 300 to 500 meters.
Archaeological excavations revealed a Bronze Age sword beneath a 1.42-meter-thick peat layer, indicating early human presence in this former Rhine river loop.
The peat cutter remains a symbol of Maudach due to the historical peat extraction activities that took place in this wetland area.
The area contains walking paths, observation points for 160 bird species, and provides half of Ludwigshafen's drinking water through the Maudach/Oggersheim waterworks.
The landscape regained its moorland character after agriculture switched to Rhine water supplies, allowing groundwater levels to rise naturally.
