April 13, 2026, Biosphärenreservat Drömling

The Drömling, often referred to as the „Land of a Thousand Ditches“, is a fascinating low moor landscape on the border between Saxony-Anhalt and Lower Saxony. Since 2023, the Drömling officially bears the title UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Previously, it had already been recognized as a national biosphere reserve (according to state law of Saxony-Anhalt) since 2019.

The Kaiserwinkel memorial and remembrance site (often mentioned in connection with the neighboring village of Zicherie) is a significant place of remembrance on the former inner-German border between Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt. On October 12, 1961 – just two months after the construction of the Berlin Wall – West German journalist Kurt Lichtenstein was shot by GDR border troops at the border near Kaiserwinkel.

Approximately 2,200 kilometers of waterways run through the Drömling region, which is why it is also called the "Land of a Thousand Ditches." The UNESCO Biosphere Reserve provides a habitat for numerous rare and endangered animal and plant species. The area of the biosphere reserve extends over 450 square kilometers from the southwestern edge of the Altmark region along the Mittelland Canal to the northwest of Saxony-Anhalt. In addition to the waterways, the landscape is characterized by deciduous forests, meadows, fields, and moors.

For centuries, the Drömling was a region in which no one was really interested (moorland, poor soil, border landscape). This is well explained using the example of Kaiserwinkel.

The whole Drömling is one of the largest settlement areas of Master Adebar, who nests here in many places and can be observed very well.

The largest part of the Drömling is in Saxony-Anhalt. In terms of landscape, of course, nothing changes due to the political national border. You will also find peace and seclusion in the Lower Saxony part.
