Schmutter

The Schmutter is a 76 km long river in the Bavarian administrative region of Swabia and a second-order waters.

Course

The Schmutter rises about three kilometers west of Siebnach and flows in a northerly direction through the tertiary hill country and the Nature Park Western forests towards the Danube. From Neusaess she runs it on the western edge of the Lech Valley. At the Schmuttermündung Donauwörth was in Roman times, the northern terminus of the Via Claudia.

History

After it had come on the lower reaches of the Schmutter to frequent flooding, in the late 1950s first flood measures were carried out. In the 1970s, they began to plan, upstream from the mouth of her to straighten the river and channel, to prevent adjacent meadows and fields would be flooded with snowmelt or heavy rain.

However, this also meant that the crops declined sharply, because the river had salts supplied from the source region and these were no longer registered. That's why you ended the regulation at the level of federal highway 8 / city Neusaess and let the Schmutter upstream of them in their natural course, so they still meanders through flat floodplains.

Previously, the water quality of Schmutter by discharges from farms and commercial operations was severely compromised by the construction of sewage treatment plants it has now increased significantly. Therefore could be set up in meander loops in recent years at the Schmutter some natural swimming pools.
