{D}
Infolge Schneeschmelze und extremen Bodenfrost stieg das Hochwasser im Jahr 1909 bis zu dieser Marke. Die Straße, die heute hier vorbei führt, ist höher angelegt als die damalige Straße. Deshalb erscheint dem Besucher heutzutage diese Hochwassermarke nicht mehr so extrem wie 1909. In Obertrubach waren viele Häuser überschwemmt und der wirtschaftlich Schaden enorm.
{E}
Due to melting snow and ground frost extreme flood increased in 1909 up to this brand. The road that leads over here today, is created higher than the former street. Therefore appears to the visitor today this high-water mark not as extreme as the 1909th. In Obertrubach there were many houses flooded and the economic damage was enormous.
