Résumé :	Windthrows are currently the main disturbance in the spruce forests that dominate the Central German Uplands. Such large clearings in mountainous regions provide suitable habitats for endangered birds of open habitats. With this in mind we conducted fixed-radius-point count sampling on logged and non-logged windthrows in the Bavarian Forest Nationalpark to search for water pipits. Among three mated pairs of water pipits in 2012 we documented the first breeding record in the Bavarian Forest Nationalpark. At a time when water pipit populations in the German Alps and the uplands of the Black Forest are decreasing, the non-logged windthrows in this national park offer suitable breeding habitats.
