Denron
Neighbourhood
Denron is a neighbourhood situated in the District of Vöhren, which is a part of Amt Aldáer. The community is predominantly inhabited by farmers, with the most notable estates being Lutz, Lympha and Hochter. These estates are either owned by the inhabitant or an external person, such as a landlord, baron or marquess. Before 1798 however, the whole neighbourhood was managed by the Rhodon family, who resided at Fieldfare Manor. Because of the patriotic movement and financial problems, the family had to sell their shares of the land and move out. Fieldfare Manor now stands derelict.
The majority of the neighbourhood is covered by a dense, ancient pine forest known as ""Grenn forest"". This forest is protected due to its age and ecological value, with only small portions developed into farmland. Grenn Forest is utilized for agroforestry, where various crops are grown amidst the ancient trees, including fruit and nut trees, mushrooms, as well as locally present species like juniper, cranberry, and blackberries. Additionally, animals such as sheep, chickens, and deer are raised by man in the forest.
In the southeast of the neighbourhood lies a raised bog, an extension of the Wester Wüste. The bogland is utilized for peat mining, and the ponds are used for retting flax.

Location
Denron is located in Vöhren. The District of Vöhren is located on the border between the Kingdoms of the Netherlands and Hanover. Most of the area is covered by a dense, ancient forest called Grenn forest. Over time, parts of the forest were cleared for wood production, and in the cleared areas, people began building houses and farms. Initially, most people relied on the forest and kept animals like sheep and poultry. As the open areas expanded, they started farming crops and raising cattle as well. The river Kild, which forms the eastern border of Vöhren, supplies water to the area and keeps it fertile. However, due to years of overfarming and deforestation, the soil quality has rapidly decreased. The fertile open spaces have slowly turned into barren fields where only heather can grow. Nowadays, the remaining farmers struggle with the soil and can barely survive.
To protect the ecological value of the forest and river, most of Grenn forest in Vöhren has been preserved. Wood production is limited, and residents must replant trees to prevent further decline. Fishing rights are restricted, and efforts to boost biodiversity are encouraged. In just a few years, some extinct animal and plant species in the area have returned, enhancing both biodiversity and soil quality.
Vöhren is divided into three neighbourhoods: Walden, Denron, and Roven. The Walda family owns the Walden while Roven is centered around a manor house. Denron, on the other hand, does not have a single landlord or lady. Instead, it is collectively owned by the landowners, who are mostly farmers or large institutions.
