The Schmutter is a roughly 96 km long tributary of the Danube in Bavarian Swabia, flowing predominantly northwards through a diverse cultural landscape. It originates in the Stauden region west of Siebnach before finally emptying into the Danube near Donauwörth.
The name likely derives from a Germanic term meaning something like "the stream flowing through the moor." Today, the Schmutter, with its floodplains, weirs, and bridges, shapes many towns and villages along its course and is a characteristic waterway of the region.
Flooding and flood protection are pressing issues.
