Geography

The popularly called also " the river of " waters ( it forms the border between Bramfeld and Barmbek ) has a good water quality. In the 1980s, the river bed has been largely displaced to a more natural state after it previously largely degenerated into a concrete drainage ditch. Today, the creek offers many excellent small animals habitat. The process of restoration is not yet complete, since March 2005, the project Kingfisher NABU Hamburg deals with the improvement, in particular the continuity of Seebek. Project partners are more carriers, "The Hamburger Weg ", the district office Wandsbek initiative Globetrotter equipment, Vattenfall Europe Environmental Foundation, Ministry of Urban Development and Environment and.

Prerequisite for the reintroduction of the kingfisher is a healthy food chain, starting with gammarus on small fish such as sticklebacks and moderlieschen up to the kingfisher. The habitat of Seebek roughly corresponds to the needs of this type as a feeding and breeding grounds. Using clay, sand and lime were several steep slopes piled up (one of them on the island in the rain retention basins Schwarzer Weg ) that create the Kingfisher hatchery facilities. Sekundärauen as flood plains provide other kinds retreat, not to be swept away in case of heavy rainfall events or high water. The area surrounding the Seebek is a habitat for insects, amphibians and fish and a popular recreation destination.
