" In 1719, a village school in Löhnen was first mentioned in the Götterswickerhammer church register. The current building, complete with a teacher's apartment, was occupied in 1826. Friedrich Haastert served as the school's first teacher for almost 50 years, until 1871. Löhnen is considered the southernmost terp village in Germany, with individual farms built on small mounds of earth. Löhnen's low elevation repeatedly led to flooding of the entire village whenever the Rhine carried too much water. The last major flood in 1926 caused much fear and anxiety and caused the Löhnen school community considerable material loss. In 1913, work began on modernizing the school building, initially installing electric lighting. The replacement of the old coal heating system with electric heating in 1964 could not prevent the school from closing on June 27, 1968. The 27 Löhnen schoolchildren were transferred to the elementary school on the Rönskenstraße and the secondary school on Alexanderstraße in Voerde Mitte. Due to the great distance from Voerde Mitte – approximately 4.4 km – the city of Voerde provided a school bus. Walter Neuse provides a detailed account of the school's history. Since then, the village school has been converted into a village community center and opened in 1980 as Alde School. The owner is the city of Voerde. The "Vivat" Löhnen Citizens' Rifle Club is the leaseholder and can sublease to an operator. Major renovations were last carried out in 1990. In addition to state subsidies, the "Vivat" Löhnen club contributed 110,000 Deutsche Marks. Many Löhnen residents contributed back then. Today, Alde School forms the center of the village, and many people even remember it poetically. " https://www.hv-voerde.de/standort-11-die-alde-school-in-loehnen/

The citizens of the city of Dinslaken have been supplied with drinking water from the waterworks since 1903. The waterworks in the water protection area in Löhnen has existed since 1961. Here, the raw water obtained from the groundwater in the glacial valley of the Rhine is processed into drinking water using a total of 9 extraction wells and transported directly to households in Dinslaken via a closely meshed pipe network. Every year around 3.8 million cubic meters of pure drinking water are transported to Dinslaken by Wages. In 2009 the waterworks was expanded with a nanofiltration system, which is the largest and most modern drinking water treatment technology in Germany in the field of municipal drinking water supply. Thanks to this technology, a perfect drinking water supply at the highest level can be guaranteed. The legal requirements and regulations for drinking water are stricter than for other foods and thus drinking water is the most strictly controlled food in Germany. In addition, the drinking water from Stadtwerke Dinslaken is now 100% climate-neutral, because there is a photovoltaic system on the roof of the nanofiltration system. This has an output of 125 kilowatts / peak and annually supplies over 100,000 kilowatt hours of electricity for personal use. The remaining electricity demand is completely covered by green electricity. This avoids over 1,500 tons of CO₂ annually.

Along the Rhine is always nice, even if the headwind annoys us. Just go from Moers to Wesel on the right bank of the Rhine, and via Büderich, Rheinberg back to the starting point.
