Why is that stone placed so prominently on the edge of the Wasserstein? Let me introduce you to this silent witness of history. The Wasserstein commemorates the catastrophic flood of July 12th, 1766. The stone’s height isn’t arbitrary. It marks the devastating high-water mark of that fateful day. Over time, the Wasserstein has become a chronicle of nature’s fury, with inscriptions added to record subsequent floods in 1880, 1887, and 1981. It serves as a stark reminder of the power of the elements and the importance of respecting the forces of nature.
