Here a dam with a weir was built in a small depression in order to regulate the flow of water on the Kriegbach in heavy rain.

At high tide, the Kriegbach can overflow into the forest here to protect the nearest towns from flooding. That is why there are also warning signs in the forest in the area 'flooding area' and there are barriers that can be closed if necessary. I added two pictures from the June 2013 flood.
