The Lobachtal has been redesigned at least twice:
1. from the early modern period through hammer and steel works with ponds and channels
2. From 1904 to about 2000 through a sewage treatment plant with laying and piping of the stream.
Today, the creek is rebuilt close to nature (see waterboelles.de/archives/20312-Lobach-Renaturierung-werten-Naherholungsgebiet-auf.html) and popular recreational area. The traces of the industrial past can only be seen in the upper reaches, otherwise well hidden.

Nice little brook in an equally beautiful brook valley.
The stream flows through the Hammertal and drove various water hammer works there.
