Windweheniederung, Nature reserve in Bielefeld, Germany
The Windweheniederung nature reserve covers 29.5 hectares of protected land, containing diverse ecological zones along the Windwehe River and its tributaries.
The protected area received its initial designation in 1991 and underwent a significant expansion phase in 2005 to increase environmental preservation measures.
The Windwehe River appears on the coat of arms of Leopoldshöhe municipality, reflecting its central role in the regional identity of North Rhine-Westphalia.
The nature reserve intersects with major transportation routes, including the L751 road and A2 motorway, with designated access points for nature observation.
A section of the Fettpottbach, the upper course of the Windwehe River, was restored to its natural state in 2009 to meet European Union water framework requirements.
