The aerial photograph was taken in 1980. It was made available to me by the Emmerthal Historical Archive. Thank you very much for that. If you look closely, you can see that the banks in the Weser bend were repaired by the Waterways Authority. The Royal Engineers were also involved and improved the training area.
