The village of Westendorf is to be protected by a dike, running on the southwestern outskirts, from a 100-year flood event. In addition, a new reinforced concrete structure will be erected, which regulates the flow in the direction of the village to a maximum of 5 m³/s in the event of a flood. Another component is the ecological development of the Schmutter river, including a partial relocation of the right bank dike.
