Summer day at Grunewald forest, Berlin (4K)
Berlin Forest Grunewald and River Havel-Waterside (4K)
River Havel
The river Havel has its source in the Mecklenburg Lake Plateau and after 94 km flows in the area of the border between the federal states Brandenburg and Sachsen-Anhalt into the big river Elbe.
Havel runs besides the already mentioned states Brandenburg and Sachsen-Anhalt also through Berlin, the capital city of Germany. On its way, the river passes several bigger and smaller lakes, which serve as water reservoirs, even in hot summers, in which many german rivers and lakes from low water levels.
In its most parts, Havel is navigable, and weirs and locks regulate water levels and water supply.
Historically, Havel since at least 928 of our Western calculation played importent roles as natural border and water route. Through the middle ages up to times of the GDR wetlands as important ecosystems were stepwise drained. In more recent times the protection of unique nature refuges is proceeding. In 2004 for example, the Naturfreunde Deutschlands and the German Fishing Federation elected the Havel area as River Landscape of the year.
In 2005 the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (BfN) and the Nature Biodiversity Conservation Union (NABU began the land restoration to create refuges for rare bird species , beaver, river lamprey, otters and other animals and plants.
The footage of my video was captured close to the bathing beach area Lieper Bucht. Visible are the Havel islands Lindwerder and Schwanenwerder as well as edges of the forest area Düppeler Forst.
Forest Grunewald
Adjacent to the Lieper-Bucht area, the huge urban forest Grunewald extends over 3000 hectare between the Berlin districts Charlottenburg and Zehlendorf.
It was elected as Forest Area of the Year by the Union of German Foresters in 2015. The Grunewald ecologically has a specific mosaic of ecosystems: heathlands, neglected grasslands, dunes, dandpits and marshlands. They all bear a remarkable biodiversity of rare animal and plant species.
Geomorphologically the Grunewald area was formed by galcio-fluvial processess during the Weichselian glaciation , which endet about 11600 years ago. Glacio-fluvial sands cobver the area in layers up to 20 meters and more.
The footage of my video also shows the so called Grunewald Tower. The memorial for the German Emperor William I was planned in 1897 and finally built up by the architect Franz Schechten. The tower was finally inaugurated in 1899 and renovated between 2007 and 2011.
The footage was captured with a DJI Mavic pro quadcopter in mid December 2018.

Winter forest: Mount Drachenberg and forest Grunewald in Berlin (4K)
The Berlin forest Grunewald in winter, shown from the area of the urban nature refuge Teufelsberg. The colors, brownish and grey with a little bit of green, dominate the winter landscape. This has biological reasons:Trees of a forest drop their leaves during the autumn-period. This happens in order to reduce water loss due to evaporation.
Before they fall, leaves change their colors, sometimes into powerful red or yellow forms. Chemically, the plant modifies chlorophyll into colorless components. Proteins (result of photosynthesis) out of these chlorophylls are resorbed by the plant (tree) in order to save nutrients for the cold season.
Carotinoids then retain inside the leaves and appear in red or yellow shades.
In winter, most trees are completely leafless and remind to skeletons, waiting for the next warm period.
The Teufelsberg represents the second biggest mountain inside Berlin/Germany. It consists of rubble from the Second World War and extends about 80 m out of the plain around. It is named after a lake, which is located very nearby: the Teufelssee.
The Teufelsberg is part of the Grunewald, an urban forest in the west of Berlin.
Since 1950 the area was filled up with rubble from the city of Berlin, which was almost completely bombed down during the second World War.
Until 1972 about a third of all rubble from bombed buildings in Berlin were transported to the top of this mountain.
After 1970 finally, the Teufelsberg was formed into a nature and free time area. Skiing and mountainbiking for example were enabled. Today, also during the summer, people use the winds on the top of the mountain to fly kites.
Since the late 1950s during the Cold War a listening station was built close to the Teufelsberg, which still exists as a ruin.

Germany: Check out this SPOOKY former NSA spy station via DRONE
Video ID: 20141209-040
Ruptly's drone soared over the now derelict site which was once home to one of the NSA's largest listening stations, in Berlin, Tuesday.
Known as 'Teufelsberg', German for Devil's Mountain, the station lies on top of an artificial hill made from an estimated 12 million cubic meters of rubble from WWII. Buried beneath the hill, which stands at 120 metres (394 ft) high, is what's left of a Nazi military college, designed by chief Nazi architect Albert Speer, which was so strudy that attempts to completely destroy it failed.
The US National Security Agency (NSA) built one of its biggest listening stations on top of the hill, and began surveillance operations from there in 1961, while construction of a permanent facility, known as USM 620 Kilo, began in 1963. Giant 12 metre (39 ft) satellite dishes made up each of the globes on the site's two towers, enabling the NSA to intercept satellite signals, radio waves, and other transmissions, before interpreting and analyzing their findings. As the mountain was located in the British sector of Berlin, the British and Americans co-operated on spying progams as part of the worldwide ECHELON spy network.
The station was eventually abandoned in 1992, three years after the fall of the Berlin wall. In 1996, the site was sold to developers for 5.2 million Deutschmark (€2.65 million, $3.29 million) who planned to convert the building into a hotel and restaurant, however the project was abandoned after debts skyrocketed to €50 million ($61 million).

Berlin forest Grunewald - former gravelpit area in airview (4K)
The city of Berlin geomorphologically consists of witnesses of the Weichselian glacier. The modern city itself and adjacent federal states represented end moraine areas with fluvio-glacial debris accumulations, even well visible today due to a very sandy soil composition and a corresponding vegetation, creating landscapes, which partly almost look like from around the Mediterranean Sea.
Sands carried by the glaciers towards their end positions remained in partly huge layers with a thickness of up to 20 meters or more.
Also the area of the old gravelpit zone, called Sandgrube im Jagen 86, in the Berlin forest Grunewald is located inside such an end moraine zone, which was represented by plates belonging to the geological Teltow-plateau. In the time period between 1966 and 1983, gravel was excavated for industrial purposes. After 1983 a part renaturation was supported by nature conservationists. In 1992 in total 13 hectares of the former gravelpit area were allocated as nature conservation areas.
Other parts of this unique landscape remained accessible for the public. They represent today popular places for leisure and experiences of nature. Especially the huge sand dune is a popular destination for families with children.
The whole area - nature protection and accessible zones - show a complex mosaic of different landscape types, offering numerous animal and plant species a well suitable refuge. Neglected grasslands and dry meadows are surrounded by sandy areas free of any vegetation (dunes) and moist osier beds and wetlands with ponds. The wetlands represent breeding grounds for numerous amphids. Lizards such as the sand lizard Lacerta agilis and snakes such as the grass snake Natrix natrix can regularly be observed. Sandy habitats offer space and specific ecological conditions for a interstitial fauna, consisting for example of different bee and sand wasp species.
In total the area bears more than 300 ferns and flowering plants, 16 breeding bird species, 7 amphibian species and 188 butterfly species.
I was performing scientific research in that gravel pit landscape during the work on my phd-thesis between 2000 and 2005. My interest was (and one of my interests is still) focussed on specific organisms living around the shoreline of ponds.
The whole area of the gravelpit landscape is a good example for ecological changes that happen naturally with the ongoing time or even being affected by climatic changes. Between 2005 and 2018, the landscape partly changed significantly. Neglected grasslands and dry meadows covered less space originally, and instead several smaller ponds existed and offered amphibs and wetland inhabiting insects additional habitats. But some of the ponds already years ago dried out permanently. Their remnants are now covered by extended dry grasslands.
In former times of my phd thesis and even today, my research interests focus and focussed on the mite fauna in and around the muddy shorelines of ponds inside this former gravelpit area. The ponds are mostly surrounded by sapropel, a seemingly black and brownish mud, which is colored that way due to the incorporation metal sulfides. These muddy areas develop due to biochemical modifications of organic material in the absence of oxygen. Different insects, especially beetles live on top of these waterside habitats or even inside. Carabids of genera Elaphrus or Bembidion represent predators, while heterocerid beetles of genus Heterocerus are substrate feeders, presumanly with a preference for diatoms. Also water beetles of Dytiscidae and Hydrophilidae inhabit these habitats.
I discovered some of these beetles as dispersal carriers for specific mites. The mite Histiostoma palustre, which I found in that gravelpit area, was completely new to science and I described it in 2002. More information in my wordpress blog biologe.

Experience Berlin Grunewald, spring forest bath
GRUNEWALD | spring forest bath berlin
Featuring trees in real life.
In spring I revisited Grunewald Forest to experience a second forest bath. The first one I had done back in December when the fog was covering the sky. On this spring day in early June the sun was out and filtered down through the forest now thick with leaves.
The spring changes rapidly but at this time the leaves in the forest were still fresh and slightly transparent. When filming this forest bath, I filmed different views, each time standing and taking in the view, sounds, smells and feelings of bugs landing on my arms and legs as I stood still.
The more I do this type of filming, deep watching of nature, the more I'm gaining the benefits and starting to relax in my non-filming time. I'm curious if watching the forest can produce a similar effect.

In winter I had been on a walk with the Wald Forest Museum in Grunewald forest and had a peak of a sand dune. It amazed me to see this large area of sand in the middle of a forest. In spring I returned with my friends, Adeline and Anaïs Poulet.
The Sandgrube in Jagen 86 was a gravel pit from 1966-83.
The area is now host to more than:
300 fern and flowering plants,
wasps and wild bees,

Grunewald: Schlangen-Alarm in Berlin
Tief im Berliner Grunewald, in der Murellenschlucht, stößt man nicht nur auf alt bekannte Tiere, sondern wie am 20.07.2019 passiert, auf Schlangen auf dem Wanderweg. Entweder eine Ringel- oder eine Schlingnatter. Wer kennt sich aus?

The Grunewald S-Bahn station is located on the western outskirts of Berlin. Between autumn 1941 and most probably spring 1942, deportation trains carrying Berlin Jews to ghettos and extermination camps in the east departed from this train station. The creation of the memorial was initiated by the Deutsche Bahn, the German national railway company, to commemorate the deportations undertaken by its predecessor, the Deutsche Reichsbahn.
The station opened on 1 August 1879 on the Wetzlarer Bahn from Berlin to Blankenheim and Wetzlar, the southwestern continuation of the Stadtbahn. It was originally named Hundekehle after a nearby lake and received its current name on 15 October 1884, when the former Grunewald station reopened under the name of Halensee. The entrance hall modelled on a castle gate was finished in 1899. Berlin-Grunewald was connected to the S-Bahn network on 11 June 1928.
Starting on 18 October 1941 the adjacent goods station until February 1945 was one of the major sites of deportation of the Berlin Jews. The trains left mainly for the ghettos of Litzmannstadt and Warsaw, and from 1942 directly for the Auschwitz and Theresienstadt concentration camps. On 18 October 1991 a monument was inaugurated at the ramp leading to the former freight yard. The Deutsche Bahn had a memorial established on 27 January 1998 at the historic track 17 (Gleis 17), where most of the deportation trains departed.
