Licca Liber - The Lech river from barrage 23 to the outlet Augsburg: Section 2

The second section is similar to the first. The existing crash structure is to be removed to allow a self-dynamic development on the western side of the river. For this purpose, the river bank protection must be removed. In contrast to the first section, the foreland width in section 2 is only about 80 m. Since there is not enough space for a self-dynamic development, a comprehensive dike relocation is aimed for. This will mobilize additional bedload reserves, give the river more open space and connect large areas of floodplain forest to the Lech. Also the possibility of a foreland removal to establish a secondary softwood floodplain should be considered for this location. In order to preserve the Weitmannsee, the right bank will remain fortified and should be designed close to nature. By deconstruction of the drop structures in combination with a widening of the river bed, the stability of the river bed shall be achieved without additional supporting structures.The measures are part of the project Licca Liber.
