The Moosfenn, covering 3,67 ha, is one of the largest swimming kettle hole mires in the northeast of Germany. We describe genesis and water balance. Reconstruction of the genesis is based on existing pollen analyses and stratigraphic investigations. Remarkable is a long reed phase since the younger atlantikum. A drought with tree expansion followed at the beginning of the older subatlantikum. At the beginning of the later middle age a flooding to a level of 1,5 m above surface was detected. Afterwards a new sphagnum cover evolved on the lake. The reconstruction of the water level started about 1917. After deforestation in the surrounding at 1918 an enormous rise of the water level was observed. The mire expanded. Later the water level retreated to a normal phase. Since the late 80`s the water level has been reduced dramaticly and so some typic features changed. The dynamic of several peat layers as well as 3 hydrostatic phases are described. %U http://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gldocs-11858/7385 %~ FID GEO-LEO e-docs
