abstract = {Abstract: Recent geological investigations illuminate the evolutionary history of the bog, that has been excavated since the 18th century. A total of 100 holes were drilled to a depth of 10 m as well as several machine based drillings to about 25 m depth. The Himmelmoor is situated within a depression to the northwest of the salt diapir Quickborn. This depression is partly filled by glacial till and fine grained basin fills, but mainly by glaciofluvial and cold based fluvial sand. At the base of the bog muds (Mudde, Gyttja) occur, above we find black and white peat. The muds are up to 2 m thick. On the „Knust“, a remnant of the former raised bog that has not been excavated, the thickness of the white peat reaches 3,80 m (overall thickness 7,85 m). The initial growth of the bog was initiated mainly by aggradation of small lakes. Part of the peat growth took place on boulder clay (till). Slack flow on these low-permeable sediments evidently led to growth of peat. Hence there is a combination of dominant aggradation growth and local swamp-based bog.},
