Flutmulde Landshut

The Flutmulde Landshut is a flood discharge canal that stretches from the western side of the city toward the main railway station in a northeastern direction through residential and urban areas. The structure features wide walls and a deep channel designed to move large volumes of water quickly during periods of heavy rainfall or flooding.

This flood control system was constructed between 1948 and 1955 following a period of recurring water damage that affected the city in the preceding years. The completion of the canal marked a turning point in urban planning and provided lasting protection for residents against flooding.

The canal system demonstrates German engineering excellence in water management, reflecting local commitment to infrastructure development and environmental protection.

The canal is best viewed from the banks or from bridges that cross over it, which offer good views of the construction. The best time to visit is during normal water levels, when the full structure is clearly visible and accessible for observation.

The Pfettrach stream crosses under the Flutmulde at Münchnerau, creating an intricate hydraulic interaction between the water systems.
