Tips
I find it hard to imagine that around a hundred years ago 10 to 12 corpses were washed up here every year, so that a morgue was built to hold the corpses until they were identified.

At first it seems unbelievable and a bit scary.
But even today, many people still drown in the Rhine. Some are rescued by the DLRG or Waspo, but others are washed ashore.
The dangers of the Rhine are grossly underestimated, despite warnings from authorities and rescue services.translated by•October 28, 2022
