Luche2
The term ''Luch'' (plural: ''Luche'') is German and refers to an area of originally expansive, marshy or boggy lowland in northeast Germany, especially in the state of Brandenburg. ''Luche'' are found mainly in Young Drift regions; but they also occur on Old Drift landscapes. According to Leser the term should not be translated. Location and history ''Luche'' mainly formed in the main urstromtal valleys or their side valleys. After the end of the Last Glacial Period, Ice Age, the water table rose during the Holocene, postglacial period resulting in the formation of bogs. The peat thickness is not particularly great; in most cases it is less than 2 metres thick. Before the installation of artificial drainage networks excess water often accumulated in the ''Luche'' in ponds. In contrast with lowlands with natural watercourses, they were give a different name from the neighbouring ''Bruche'' (Carr (landform), carrs), such as the Oderbruch to the east and the Hohennauen Bruch on t ...

Kremmener Luch
The Kremmener Luch is a shallow fen, known locally as a '' luch'', between the Glien plateau (near Berlin) in the south, and the Beetzer Heath in the north. Overview The western Rhin flows through the Kremmener Luch, where it is called the Kremmener Rhin, or the Ruppiner Canal. The Kremmen Lake, which is embedded in the Kremmener Luch, was converted into a nature preserve in 1924. This wildlife preserve is 11 square kilometres large today, and there can one can still see cranes, beavers, and European otters. For 300 years the Kremmener Luch has been drying up, and today, the greater part of it is suitable for agricultural usage, and has thus lost its moorish character.

This wetland region lies north of Fehrbellin in the county of Ostprignitz-Ruppin. The upper Rhinluch covers an area of about . The suffix ''luch (landform), luch'' is used to describe several wet areas in the state of Brandenburg, in which, prior to the advent of modern Drainage system (geomorphology), drainage systems, water remained largely stagnant rather than flowing. The Rhinluch was formed during the last Weichselian glaciation, ice age and its Holocene, post-glacial period. About 16,000 years ago, the Eberswald ''urstromtal'' was formed by the meltwaters of the glacial ice sheet as they drained away to the sea. Later, this broad river valley dried up as the ice sheet retreated during the late ice age. In the land that makes up the present-day Rhinluch, lakes initially formed in individual places, especially where there were dead ice kettle holes. Over t ...
