Nach dem verheerendem Hochwasser von Pfingsten 1999 wurde der Hochwasserschutz im Bereich der Unterstadt von Wangen ausgebaut.
Zur Erinnerung an diese Katastrophe wurde im Argenpark die Hochwasserente aufgestellt.
Auf einem Sockel mit Inschrift, in dem Fische eingearbeitet sind, steht die Plastik einer Ente die in einigen Teilen beweglich ist.
Diese Skulptur mit den beweglichen Gelenken wurde wie auch der Amtschimmelbrunnen von dem Aachener Bildhauer Bonifatius Stirnberg erstellt
