Garbach (left tributary of Hönne River) in Balve-Garbeck, Germany shortly before flooding the streets (07/14/2021)

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: In this picture, one can see the Garbach brook, a left tributary of the Hönne River (which flows over Ruhr and Rhine into the North Sea), shortly before it exceeds its riverbed. The picture was taken in Balve-Garbeck, North Rhine - Westphalia, Germany on July 14, 2021, 15:30 CEST as part of a video. It was later took as a screenshot from the video. July 14, 2021 was the day of the most heavy rainfalls and floodings in western Germany in decades. In the background, there is a bridge. The small village brook already reaches the bottom of the bridge's roadway slab. Waves are visible hitting the bridge. Upstream, the creek was already overflowing its banks at the time because another bridge was not letting enough water through. Hours later, the central roads of the village of Garbeck were flooded. Basements were full of water. Luckily, no one died in Garbeck. Other places were hit severely harder. Over 180 people lost their lives in Germany (as of July 18, 2020).
Deutsch: In diesem Bild sieht man den Garbach, einen linken Nebenfluss des Flusses Hönne (Abfluss über Rhein und Ruhr in die Nordsee), kurz bevor er über die Ufer tritt.

Das Foto wurde in Balve-Garbeck im Märkischen Kreis (NRW) aufgenommen. Es war der Nachmittag des 14. Juli 2021 gegen 15:30, der Tag der heftigsten Regenfälle und Fluten in Westdeutschland seit Jahrzehnten.

Im Hintergrund ist eine Brücke zu sehen. Der kleine Dorfbach erreicht bereits den Boden der Fahrbahnplatte der Brücke. Es sind Wellen zu sehen, die gegen die Brücke schlagen. Flussaufwärts war der Bach zu diesem Zeitpunkt bereits über die Ufer getreten, weil eine andere Brücke nicht genug Wasser durchließ. Stunden später war die Dorfstraße Garbecks überflutet. Keller liefen voll mit Wasser. Glücklicherweise kam in Garbeck niemand ums Leben. Andere Orte traf es deutlich härter. Über 180 Menschen verloren in Deutschland ihr Leben in den Fluten (Stand 18. Juli 2020).
