Mascherner
Moor
About the moor around Maschen and the other moor areas in
Seevetal gives it geologically hardly historical recordings. At
least was not to be found even in the local archive really a
lot.
However, fact is, the moor gave and still gives it, must
have been, however, not more so humid and marshy like it earlier
once. In the meantime, the moor is to a great extent drained and,
for the rest, many geologic peat layers, mucky layers and sandy
layers have remained.
The
last big dry lapping was concluded with the construction of the
marshalling yard in 1977: Of the Maschen marshalling yard (Maschen
Rbf) immediately next door in the railway stretches to Hannover, is
the biggest marshalling yard of Europe and is excelled worldwide
only by the Bailey yard with North record, a provincial town
centrally in the US federal state Nebraska.
This was built the marshalling yard in Maschen is due
solely which was only to be found heavy an unbuilt area in the
necessary dimensions before the gates of Hamburg. By his extremely
bad development site is this surface of the construction boom were
left blank and it only few houses stood on the marshy area. One had
to assume from the fact that the ground would not carry the high
load of the marshalling yard.
From numerous solution possibilities the full renovation
of the ground turned out as technically most favorable and
economically most suitable ones. All together 3 million cubic
metres of peat were to be cleared away for the marshalling yard and
to insert 10 million cubic metres of sand! In the wet excavator
procedure the peat was escorted by conduits on suitable deposition
surfaces.
The
geologic state of this region prepares even today big problems,
even with the fire prevention in summer!
I
can remember a moor fire in the Maschener moor lake in the end of
the 90s, as the AND THE FOLLOWING Maschen with a great contingent
in firefighters tried to extinguish the subterranean fire (peat)
with fire-fighting lances. If I I remind surely there lasted this
fire-fighting work just 2 days!
The
left-over surfaces are very diverse, very dry partly, partly very
humid in the wooded areas! However, it looks at
Yourselves.
Log condition is a photo with you
and your GPSr with the given coordinates with the moor and peat
surface in the background with daylight!
- Question 1: How long was
the construction time of the marshalling yard during
years?
- Question 2: How many local
names in Seevetal deal with the moor and how are these
called?
- Take the picture with
daylight!
The log may occur with the sending
of the answers to me. Should the questions be answered wrong, I
announce myself. |
