The barriers were installed after the last flood; at that time, the water came up about 10cm high over the tracks and onto the main road; the bridge didn't exist back then either.

The whitewater barrier on the Scheibsbach stream represents an innovative solution in the field of flood protection. This steel structure, consisting of massive steel beams, forms a robust grid or comb design specifically developed to retain driftwood and other large objects during flood events. Its weatherproof properties make the barrier ideally suited for outdoor use and resistant to the extreme conditions that can occur during floods.

It's hard to believe that such a small stream needs such a powerful barrier.
