Tips

The renaturation looks good, but it is also intended to prevent flooding, such as that which inundated large parts of the colliery settlements in May 2001.

The renaturation over a length of approx. 800 meters is divided into two sections. A retention area was created on an old meadow between the Wersestadion and the Humboldtstrasse settlement. This can absorb the water from the Werse in the event of heavy rainfall and the resulting water levels. The flooding and draining took place through two breakthroughs that cut through the former dike at a distance of 150 meters from each other. By rearranging the soil and using dead wood in the edge area, a natural flood protection and habitat has been created at the same time. The curves of the flowing river provide new feeding areas and spawning grounds for fish.
