These structures, which characterise the landscape, are often the Rimpau bog sand-cover cultivation structured in the eighties of the 19th century. Rimpau bog sand-cover cultivation is an amelioration of fens for agriculture. Due to the high returns bog sand-cover cultivation spread very quickly in Germany at the time. Through subsequent ameliorative measures, most of the former 10,000 ha of bog sand-cover cultivation were modified or disappeared. Today there are only a few examples of this cultivation in its original condition. They are worth to be preserved as monuments of rural engineering and species-rich biotopes.}, note = { \url {http://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gldocs-11858/7388}}, }
