History

Regularly the Wild brook passes through a lot of rain or snow melt on the shore, mostly meadows are flooded. In November 1890 was particularly bad, as it had been raining for days and also the dam of the country Kroner pond could not stand the pressure and gave way. The Wildener fields and meadows were almost fully invested by the stream, thus they were devastated and destroyed the winter crop. Farmhouses, sheds and stables were destroyed and swept away. Today, houses and roads are higher than the creek through embankment.
