%X Abstract: A radiocarbon dated pollen diagram of the Spitalmoos reveals the holocene vegetation and landscape development in the formerly glaciated area of the Eastern Allgäu near the alpine border. The investigated profile dates from the Preboreal up to now. During the Preboreal pine woods with some Betula cover the area. Ulmus immigrates and spreads together with Corylus in the early Boreal followed by the spreading of Quercus and Tilia. Later Fraxinus, Acer and also Picea reach the Northern Alpine Foreland. Depending on the site conditions, mixed oak forests rich in Ulmus and Tilia or forests dominated by Picea reign up to the Atlantic period. At about the same time Abies and Fagus immigrate. But Fagus prevails very slowly against the strong competition of already established tree species. Nevertheless Fagus becomes the dominant tree species in the Subboreal. The human influence in the area is registered as from the Bronze Age. In the Subatlantic period three larger clearing phases (Roman Age, Middle Ages, Modern Era) were detected leading to the decline of Fagus and Abies stocks. Synchronous the non tree pollen values and especially the frequencies of Poaceae and anthropogenic indicators increase. Cerealia pollen were also identified.
