Guided Story

Have you ever felt the power of water? Imagine standing here, and the water rises relentlessly. This memorial isn't just a stone; it's a witness to past storms. Behind you lies the Hohenwischer Brack, a scene of devastation during the 1962 flood. Back then, the community stood strong, defending their city. Look up, the inscription speaks of courage and unity. If you listen closely, you might hear the echoes of voices saying, 'We won't give up.' This place reminds us of the importance of standing together.
