Damming the Ilmenau to reinforce the urban fortification.
August 14, 2018
The Ratsteich was originally created by damming an arm of the Ilmenau as part of fortification measures. Today, the Ratsteich is a popular tourist destination: there are restaurants here, you can stroll through the park and relax on the benches. The Ratsteich meadow is also a popular place to play. I particularly liked the water fountain.
