Overview
- Unknown people manipulated the dam boards at the Aufteilungswehr in the Englischer Garten, a fact reported by the Wasserwirtschaftsamt München and the city of Munich.
- The Wasserwirtschaftsamt has filed a complaint with the city's Referat für Klima- und Umweltschutz and called the repairs urgent and necessary.
- Repair work requires lowering the Eisbach and Fabrikbach water levels for several hours, which has taken the famous Eisbach surf wave out of operation and prompted warnings to surf clubs and residents.
- The altered weir currently prevents correct distribution of water that the Aufteilungswehr controls for the Eisbach–Fabrikbach system up to Garching, risking dried river stretches or flooding and endangering protected fish as the Isar is running high.
- Authorities have warned swimmers to stay away from affected stretches during the works and residents should expect continued technical repairs and legal follow-up by environmental officials.
