The emergence of the Braake is still quite young and, above all, powerful. When one of the worst catastrophes swept across the North Sea in the form of the “Christmas Flood 1717” on Boxing Day in 1717, it destroyed the dykes in many places. This is also the case in many places along the Elbe. The water masses of the Christmas flood brought death and ruin, they destroyed large regions and they created new landscapes.
