==History== ===Sumser's Garden=== In 1931 Erwin Sumser purchased several lots of land in the Jennetal which he himself converted into a nature reserve. Upon his initiative, this nature reserve of originally 0,7095 ha became an officially protected area in 1937.<ref name="LUBW"/> In 1960 he sold this area, which is commonly called Sumser's Garden ({{langx|de|Sumsergarten}}), along with his other private nature reserves on the Baar, to the federal state of Baden-Württemberg.
===Extension of the area=== In 1996 the nature reserve Jennetal was extended to nearly 23 ha.<ref>Landesanstalt für Umwelt, Messungen und Naturschutz Baden-Württemberg: [http://www.fachdokumente.lubw.baden-wuerttemberg.de/servlet/is/50166/in03_20065.html?COMMAND=DisplayBericht&FIS=200&OBJECT=50166&MODE=BER&RIGHTMENU=null Naturschutzgebiet Jennetal] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141220181255/http://www.fachdokumente.lubw.baden-wuerttemberg.de/servlet/is/50166/in03_20065.html?COMMAND=DisplayBericht&FIS=200&OBJECT=50166&MODE=BER&RIGHTMENU=null |date=2014-12-20 }}</ref>
