Description

The Pheasantry is a sub-natural urban woodland park in Köthen on an 85-acres site. It holds the Köthen zoo and some playgrounds next to other lovely things. Furthermore lots of trails beyond the urban traffic invite the citizens for a walk or for jogging.
History
Up until the 17th century this countryside has been fen, the so-called “Welsche Breite”. The marsh was dried up and subdued, but till this day typical floodplain tree species such as ash, copper beech, elm, English oak and lime bestride the landscape. The current tree population is aged 170–200 years at an average and the oldest oaks are more than 400 years old. Little by little lakes and aviaries were created. Thanks to the pheasant house built in 1711, the Pheasantry holds its current name.
In 1875 the famous garden architect August Hooff began his work at the ducal tree nursery in Köthen. He was significantly taking part in creating the horticultural site of the Pheasantry, including the zoo. This certain touch has endured until today. A monument at the “Buschteich” (forest lake, in the north-west of the Pheasantry) reminds us of his work.
In 1884 the zoo was opened, so it is one of the oldest domestic animal zoos in Germany.
In 2008 the Local Agency for Nature Conservation of the district Anhalt-Bitterfeld started thinking of preserving the Pheasantry as a protected landscape component. This is due to the remarkable diversity of species: 87 wood occupying species out of 25 families, great and lesser spotted, green and black woodpecker, nightingale, lots of bat species and the praised tree population, to mention but a few. The only difference to a floodplain forest is the lack of periodic floods. The protection was finally declared in the end of 2009.
In 2009 the sewage board has reconstructed the rainwater sewerage under the main alley, the connection from the Bärteichpromenade to the Wolfgangstraße. It was a 3 mill. Euro building project, necessary to prevent the adjacent road gulleys from overload. Newspaper Article (German)
If you want to know why the Pheasantry’s paths are closed once again, search the Mitteldeutsche Zeitung Newspaper for “Fasanerie”! Google Translator will be your friend ;)
The Cache
Wheelchair users are restrictedly recommended to find this cache as the last few metres are on a field, which can be quite muddy after rains. Cyclists may park their bikes at N 51° 44.938 E 11° 57.538. You find a close-by parking area at N 51° 44.922 E 011° 57.603.
Please do not spoil in your log entry! I am willing to encrypt or delete entries with too much details on the facilities.
Trade up, trade equal or don’t trade!

Der Cache wurde offensichtlich durch Vandalismus zerstört, wie ich auch im Logbuch lesen kann. Zum Glück war der Inhalt „nur“ auf der Wiese zerstreut, sodass ich alles retten konnte bis auf den Dosendeckel. Ich spiele mit dem Gedanken, den Cache zu archivieren und an derselben Stelle einen T4 zu legen – leider nicht mehr kinderfreundlich. Aber da muss ich noch mal drüber schlafen. Danke bis hierher für das wunderbare Feedback! :)
The Cache has obviously been destructed by vandalism, as I can read from the log book. Fortunately I could collect the contents from the field, except the container’s lid. I am tinkering with the idea of archiving this cache and placing a T4 in the exact same place – regrettably not child-friendly. But before that I must consult my pillow. For now I want to thank you for the wonderful feedback! :)

Überrascht erhielt ich vorhin einen Anruf von Subway&Vampirella, mein Cache wäre in seinen Händen. Na gut: dann war er wohl beschädigt. Das musste ich mir gleich aus der Nähe angucken und musste feststellen, dass der Behälter noch vor Ort war. Komisch. Eben kam der zweite Anruf, der meine Verwunderung aufklärte: Subway&Vampirella hat den Inhalt ganz woanders gefunden und dann beim Loggen gestutzt, welcher Zufall uns widerfahren ist. Alles wird gut, aber erstmal ist der Cache selbstverständlich nicht suchbar.
Just an hour ago I received a call from Subway&Vampirella: he is holding my cache in his hands. OK, I thought, it must have been damaged. So I had a look at the cache site, but the container was still in place – weird. Just this moment I got the second call which enlightened me: Subway&Vampirella has found the contents 500 metres off and then stumbled upon the coordinates in my listing: what a fluke! Everything is gonna be fine, but for now I am disabling the listing.

Ich deaktiviere den Cache bis Freitag, damit er (hoffentlich) nicht vom Cacherneulings-Großaufgebot am Tag der offenen Hochschultür gesucht wird. Ich finde, bei solchen Massenveranstaltungen wird das Verletzen der Spielregeln geradezu provoziert. Nun stelle ich meinen unter Schutz.
I am disabling the listing until Friday to prevent it from being hunted by a large contingent of cacher newbies. On Friday there is the University’s open day with a geocaching workshop planned. I am uncomfortable with these huge events, because they almost provoke rules to be broken. So I am protecting my cache now.

Krasse Idee aber nur eine Frage. Wieso wurde der noch nicht gemuggelt im Sommer is klar aber im Winter ganz schön riskant.
Trotzdem schöne Idee hat uns gefallen.

Der Herbst ist in vollem Gange, die natürliche Tarnung des Cachers und auch des Behälters selbst zu entfernen. Bitte sei ab sofort noch muggelumsichtiger beim Suchen und „Heben“! Am besten nutzt du den Schutz der Dunkelheit, denn dann trauen sich nur noch ganz wenige Muggel in den unbeleuchteten Busch.
Since the autumn has begun to shorten the stash’s natural camouflage, you are urged to take care of muggles once more. The cover of darkness will help you while most muggles flinch from entering the unlighted wood.

Eins der schönsten Versteckideen die ich bisher gesehen habe. Da hat sich jemand richtig Mühe gegeben. Hat Spaß gemacht, trotz Regenwetter.
Weiter so.....
