Umweltbundesamt 2019: Verbesserung der Gewässerökologie an der Murg in Rastatt. Video. Online: https://youtu.be/NY2yvo0k5oM

In the urban area of Rastatt, river bank protection of the Murg was removed in order to create near-natural hydromorphological structures. Out of town, floodplains were reactivated for flood protection. The Yellow-bellied Toad and the Crested Newt also benefit from the restoration measures.

This video explains restoration measures at the river Murg. The project manager shares his experiences in an interview. The video is part of a series of ten videos on river restoration projects in Germany, which were created for the information portal river restoration of the German Federal Environment Agency (uba.de/renaturierung).

The restoration of the river Murg required a change in river maintenance. Now the focus is allowing the river to develop naturally.
