The statue on the Karolinenbrücke in Landsberg am Lech is the "Father Lech". It depicts a powerful male figure and is an artistic allegory of the Lech river.

The Karolinenwehr built in 1364
Originally a simple overflow weir
Was repeatedly severely damaged by floods
In the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, it was therefore repeatedly rebuilt and expanded, up to the current four-stage weir
Also in the immediate vicinity, the two bank walls East and West were extensively renovated in 2019 to 2020
