Several months have already passed since the catastrophic flood of 2021, from 14.07-15.07.2021, with its focus on the night, flooded entire areas of Germany with extreme masses of water.
No one will forget the images in the Ahr Valley, where entire houses collapsed under the persistent record rainfall and in some cases people and animals were unable to save themselves in the catastrophic flood 201. The flooding was particularly severe in Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine-Westphalia. The neighboring countries of Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Austria were also affected in parts by this flood disaster. The floods of 2021 far overshadowed the storm years 2002 and 2013. The damage caused by the flood is estimated at over 29 billion euros.
