Der Neckar kommt

Eberbach war immer mit dem Fluss verbunden. Von Zeit zu Zeit drängten die Wassermassen in die Altstadt, da half auch keine Stadtmauer – Haben Sie die Hochwassermarken entdeckt?
Um 1800 gab es viele Extremhochwasser: 10,28m verzeichnete der Eberbacher Pegel im Mai 1817. Nach einem strengen Hungerjahr 1826 mit Wetterkapriolen und Missernten brach jetzt auchnoch drei Tage lang die schlammige Neckarflut herein. Nur sieben Jahre später, 1824, musste die Altstadt ihre gewaltigste Überschwemmung erdulden, der Pegel zeigte 11,94m . – Wann dasnächste Hochwasser kommt, das weiß niemand.

The Neckar is coming

Eberbach has always been connected to the river. From time to time, the water masses forced their way into the old town, and no town wall could help - Have you discovered the flood marks?
Around 1800 there were many extreme floods: the Eberbach water level recorded 10.28 m in May 1817. After a severe year of famine in 1826 with freak weather and crop failures, the muddy Neckar flood also broke in for three days. Only seven years later, in 1824, the Old Town had to endure its most violent flood, with the water level showing 11.94m. - Nobody knows when the next flood will come.
