The renaturation of the Lippe in this area (Datteln-Ahsen) was completed in 2019. The lip should become more lively as a result of the renovation work.
It was worth it, because the longest river in North Rhine-Westphalia has now been transformed back into a near-natural body of water and thus also into the most beautiful river in the state.
Habitat for plants and animals was created and the long-term improvement and restoration of intact river floodplain ecosystems was particularly important for water bodies!
