"For hundreds of years, people have lived in close proximity to the Rhine. The farming and fishing village of Flittard was first mentioned in a document in 989 (HBHistSt NRW 2006, p. 604, although the document is considered "possibly forged"), and the town of Stammheim as early as 959. Since then, people have lived with and from the river, profiting from it and suffering equally from its proximity. It was only when the dyke was built in 1894 and 1895 that this situation changed.
