Latumer Bruch, Protected area in Krefeld, Germany.

The Latumer Bruch reserve extends across 185 hectares of wetlands, containing willow forests, alder swamps, ponds, and natural grasslands in southeastern Krefeld.

The landscape gained protection status in 1982 under IUCN category IV, focusing on habitat management, and received renewed conservation measures in 2017.

The reserve takes its name from Haus Latum, a manor house situated at the outskirts of Lank-Latum, reflecting the historical land ownership patterns.

Visitors can access the area through Lohbruchweg from the north and Latumer Bruchweg from the south, with designated paths for exploration.

Two ancient Rhine riverbeds within the reserve fill with groundwater during high water events, serving as natural flood retention spaces.
