Looks quite appropriate given the current water levels. But they are too narrow for flood events on the Gera like in 2013. The bridges in Gebesee over the Gera and Mahlgera are to be rebuilt. Planning is in progress and takes time. Current information on flood protection is available at blickpunkt-geraue.de

The site is suitable for observing river dynamics in a renatured floodplain. To improve the habitat for animals and plants, the Free State of Thuringia has bought areas for the river. Now the river can overflow its banks again for a few meters according to its natural dynamics. Water stands still in depressions and endangered animal species such as frogs and dragonflies can settle there. Current measures and plans can be found at blickpunkt-geraue.de

This bridge is too small for a strong flood of the Gera. Therefore, it should be rebuilt, get only one support and offer a wider opening for the outflow of a flood of the century. The process takes a few years because a lot of people are involved. Information is available at blickpunkt-geraue.de You can see for yourself what it looks like when the water level is higher.
