Development

Due to ever-increasing soil sealing by building in its source catchment area, the upper Lohbruegge, the natural water supply has been decreasing steadily. However, as more rain water had to be discharged by the more expectant development, Bergedorf Road (national road 5) was built north a stormwater retention basin and the Ladenbek just moved into a concrete channel.

Through the concreting of the channel, the insects and plants could not adapt to the waters, the balance was disturbed. Furthermore, the water balance in the lowland Boberger was disturbed since it could seep no water.

Therefore, the concrete channel was removed in 1987 in the area of ​​lowland Boberger to achieve that the stream is natural and animals and plants can settle better. In addition, in the upper third of a percolation pond was created, so that the environment can benefit more from the surface water. In a further step, the stormwater retention basin was displaced more adapted state to a nature.

Shortly after the bridge over the Ladenbek at the named after Walter Hösterey Walter Hammer trail began in the 1970s to life the called jogging path. These devices Prävätion health but were now abandoned and dismantled.
