Interesting excursion into history!

The Wertach is a 150.9 km long tributary of the Lech in Bavaria. Historically, it was known for frequent flooding, especially in the Augsburg area. In order to improve flood protection, dams were built from 1856 onwards, which significantly reduced the risk of flooding. These dams not only serve to protect against flooding, but are also important components of the “Wertachauen biotope network” nature conservation project. They connect various habitats along the Wertach and provide a valuable habitat for numerous animal and plant species. Maintaining the dams is essential for their functionality and the preservation of biodiversity. LEW Wasserkraft, operator of several hydroelectric power plants on the Wertach, regularly carries out mowing work. These measures prevent the areas from becoming overgrown and promote the development of species-rich meadows. Attention is paid to preserving flower strips, which serve as a source of food and habitat for insects. In addition, renaturation measures were carried out as part of the “Wertach vital” project to return the Wertach to a near-natural state. Banks were flattened, the river width increased and new habitats created. These measures not only contribute to flood protection, but also increase the attractiveness of the Wertach as a local recreation area. The dams along the Wertach are therefore a successful example of the combination of flood protection and nature conservation, which benefits both the safety of residents and biodiversity.
