, Germany, North Rhine-Westphalia, Oberhausen - Renaturalisation of the Emscher in the Holtener Bruch. A new floodplain landscape is being created here for flood protection and biodiversity. In the back, St. John's Church in Holten. The Emscher, which is currently being straightened, is once again taking on curves and can meander through its new floodplain. The ecological reconstruction of the Emscher system consists of the construction of a central sewage system in the Ruhr area, the construction of sewage canals and the renaturation of the Emscher and its tributaries. The Emscher has been completely free of sewage since January 2022 following the construction of a parallel sewage canal. The river was previously an open, above-ground combined sewer with rainwater and wastewater.
