  • Pressemitteilung „Allen Unkenrufen Zum Trotz“ Erhält Auszeichnung Als
    Medieninformation Nr. 211 Telefon: (08161)600-154 Freising, den 22.07.2020 Pressemitteilung „Allen Unkenrufen zum Trotz“ erhält Auszeichnung als offizielles Projekt der UN-Dekade Biologische Vielfalt Das Projekt „Allen Unkenrufen zum Trotz“ ist am Mittwoch, 22. Juli, als offizielles Projekt der UN- Dekade Biologische Vielfalt ausgezeichnet worden. Diese Ehrung wird vorbildlichen Projekten zuteil, die sich in besonderer Weise für die Erhaltung der biologischen Vielfalt in Deutschland einsetzen. Die Würdigung wurde durch das Bundesamt für Naturschutz an die Vertretungen der vier Träger BUND Naturschutz, Landkreis Freising, Landkreis Neuburg/Donau und Landkreis Altötting überreicht. Freisings Landrat Helmut Petz drückte seine Freude über den Preis aus und dankte allen Ehrenamtlichen, die das Projekt unterstützen. Über 400 Biotope wurden für die Gelbbauchunke eingerichtet, mehrere Grundstücke für den Erhalt dieses kleinen Froschlurchs gesichert, rund 90 Menschen für den Schutz dieser Art ausgebildet – das kann sich als Bilanz aus den ersten vier Jahren des Projekts sehen lassen, heißt es vonseiten der Trägergemeinschaft. Mit diesem vorbildlichen Projekt werde ein deutliches Zeichen für das Engagement zur Erhaltung biologischer Vielfalt in Deutschland gesetzt, unterstrich Freisings Landrat Petz. Neben der offiziellen Urkunde und einem Auszeichnungsschild erhielt die Trägergemeinschaft einen „Vielfalt- Baum“, der symbolisch für die Naturvielfalt steht. „Viel hilft viel – das ist die Devise bei dieser Pionierart, die auf frische Kleingewässer angewiesen ist, um ihrem Nachwuchs das Überleben zu ermöglichen“, verrät Siegfried Geißler, Leiter der Unteren Naturschutzbehörde in Neuburg-Schrobenhausen, einer der Trägerlandkreise des Projekts. Das sei einer der wichtigsten Gründe, warum in diesem Landkreis bayernweit die größten Bestände der Art zu finden sind. Kleine Gewässer, Quelltümpel, Viehweiden, aber auch Pfützen und wassergefüllte Fahrspuren: Hier fühlt sich die Gelbbauchunke wohl, hier legt sie ihre Eier ab.

Amper and the steep slope of the hill provided natural protection. Here, people and goods were checked at the “Munich Gate” on Kühberg (now Karlsberg). Funding for a wall was only available for short stretches on either side of the “Augsburg Gate”. This was where the road from Munich left the town in a north-westerly direc- tion. On the road to Freising in the north-east, the “Freising Gate” was erected, which at times was also known as the Lower Gate, Etzenhausen Gate or Altenmarkt Gate. In the 17th century, it provided accommodation for shepherds. The town clerk lived in the gate- Michael Neher (1798–1876): The “Freising Gate” on house. The guard room had two windows and the former Rossmarkt (horse market), pencil drawing, was furnished with a chair, three plank beds, c. 1850, Dachau District Museum and a stove. In the latter half of the century, the gate and neighbouring gatehouse were under- pinned.
