Diese Hochwassermarke befindet sich an der Fußgänger und Fahrradbrücke zwischen den Dessauer Ortsteilen Törten und Kleutsch.

Im August 2002 trafen die Scheitel der Mulde und Elbe mit nur minimalem Zeitunterschied im Gebiet Dessau Roßlau ein. Das Hochwasser stand über mehrere Wochen und weichte die Deiche nahezu auf. Im Ortsteil Waldersee brach ein Deich wodurch der komplette Ortsteil geflutet wurde.

In August 2002, the crests of the Mulde and Elbe met with a minimal time difference in the region of Dessau Roßlau. The floods lasted for several weeks and almost softened the dikes. In the village Waldersee broke a dike whereby the entire district was flooded.
