Today there is not much that reminds us of the storm disaster on July 14, 2021. The flood destroyed the nearby bridge and resulted in one death. The water masses took their destructive course from here and flooded large parts of the city center. To mark the occasion, on the second anniversary, a Steele was erected at this location in memory of the victims and as a thank you to all those who helped.
