Rabenspitze pumping station on the winter dyke - Astheim/Trebur 🚴♂️
Highlight • Structure
After wet conditions in the marshland in 1920 and 1922, the arable land could no longer be adequately cultivated. There was a real food shortage, which went down in history as the "Famine Years." The then farmer and state parliament member of the Weilerhof in Wolfskehlen campaigned for optimal improvement of the water conditions in the marshland. At the time of its founding on June 11, 1923, the municipalities of Astheim, Berkach, Dornheim, Erfelden, Geinsheim, Leeheim, Trebur, and Wallerstädten belonged to the association. After the construction of the Hessenaue, the smallest municipality in the district was also incorporated into the association. The Schwarzbach stream is to be relieved 🚴♂️
Today, the wastewater association maintains 30 kilometers of main ditches, 30 kilometers of inlet ditches, and around 300 kilometers of smaller drainage ditches, most of which were constructed by hand between 1925 and 1927. Modern excavators and construction machinery did not yet exist at the time. All participating municipalities and the affected property owners contributed to the financing. The Kammerhof, Wächterstadt, and Rabenspitze pumping stations were built. The facilities began operation on January 1, 1928. 🚴♂️
Günter Engel, a long-time Trebur firefighter and flood control expert, was also able to clarify the term "Rabenspitze." The association's area, which covers approximately 5,000 hectares, resembles the shape of a raven, with the old pumping station built at the tip of its beak.
However, this pumping station had to be shut down as soon as the summer dams were flooded, and thus could no longer drain the northern district of the association. As part of the dike rehabilitation in 2011, the new pumping station was installed in the winter dam at a cost of around €3.8 million.
Thanks to a newly constructed feeder channel from the Schwarzbach, the new pumping station also serves to relieve the Schwarzbach in the event of flooding. 🚴♂️

From here you can take the Johanna ferry to the Langenau peninsula. By bike you can reach an estate with gastronomy on the peninsula and later the Steindamm near Trebur and thus the "mainland".
