Even the ancient Romans appreciated its outstanding location. Where the two rivers meet, water has played a key role in the city's development and the history of the industrial region for centuries. As early as the Middle Ages, people began to channel water from both rivers into the city. Over a long period of time, a sophisticated system of canals and hydropower technologies developed to supply the citizens with both industrial and drinking water. A total of 22 objects, including hydroelectric power stations, drinking water works, fountain art and watercourses from over 2,000 years of city history, document the development of water supply in and around Augsburg to this day. This globally unique, still preserved ensemble has therefore been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since July 2019.<\/p><h3>Water as a lifeline<\/h3><p>Anyone walking through Augsburg's streets will quickly notice that there is hardly a place where water is not rushing by. A network of canals and streams approximately 77 kilometres long flows through the city like a network of veins. The Hochablass, a large weir on the Lech River, plays an important role in this. From here, the water from the Lech that flows through the city centre is diverted \u2013 and has been since 1346. In the Middle Ages, numerous craft businesses with their mills and hammer mills settled along the canals to harness the power of the water. Water wheels, such as the one at Schwalllech, still characterise the city centre today and are a reminder of how water was used to generate energy for Augsburg's craftsmen in the early days.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- end col -->\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- end row -->\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\n\n<!-- Widget End -->\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f86cb44 pt-0 pb-0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-a3-button-media\" data-id=\"f86cb44\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"a3-button-media.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\n<!-- Widget Start -->\n\n<div class=\"widget widget-orange pt-0 pb-0\">\n\t<div class=\"widget-content\">\n\n\t<div class=\"container  mb-4\">\n    <h2 class=\"h1  mb-4\">\n        \n    <\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row flex-lg-row-reverse\"><!-- start row -->\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-lg-4\"><!-- start col -->\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"media-button bg-orange \">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"media-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 212.96 185.13\"  class=\"small\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<g>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#ffffff\" d=\"M182.89,25.49,142.52,51V0Z\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#ffffff\" d=\"M213,94.86l-70.44,44V50.89Z\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#ffffff\" d=\"M142.56,51l-69,44.23V6.75Z\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#ffffff\" d=\"M0,185.13,108,117,0,48.81Z\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/g>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"media-button-content\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    <h3 class=\"h2  mb-4\">\n        How Augsburg's water system is making the future better:\n    <\/h3>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"media-button-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Early innovations from the region that are still of great importance to our society today: use of hydropower, drinking water supply and sustainability<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- end col -->\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-lg-8\"><!-- start col -->\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"media-text-textbox\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    <h3 class=\"h2  mb-4\">\n        \n    <\/h3>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Technical innovations and pioneering achievements in drinking water supply<\/h3><p>Regional water management gave rise to impressive technological innovations that were crucial to the region's subsequent economic rise. Initially, water wheels and mills were powered by water, but these were later replaced by pumps and turbines in the region's power stations. The waterworks at the Rotes Tor with its three water towers \u2013 probably the oldest known waterworks in Central Europe \u2013 was admired throughout Europe for its sophisticated pumping system. It was also able to supply higher-lying districts of Augsburg with drinking water from 1416 onwards. The sensation: since the 16th century, Lech water and pure spring water had been flowing into the city separately. At that time, no other municipality had separated drinking water from industrial water. As a result, life in the city was relatively hygienic. After more than four and a half centuries in operation, the plant at the Rotes Tor was replaced by a new waterworks at the Hochablass, another fascinating monument to industrial culture. This was the first drinking water plant in the world that made it possible to supply water without water towers. Today, technology enthusiasts can still marvel at the old flywheels and pumps in the historic waterworks. But the power of the Lech River continues to be harnessed: modern turbines generate green electricity in the basement of the ornate building.

For example, the power station on the Stadtbach stream had been serving the cotton mill, then the largest spinning mill in Germany, since 1873. Even today, the numerous power stations with their industrial architecture bear witness to the economic history of the region. Those interested can discover the great importance of water for the former \u2018German Manchester\u2019 and which industries still benefited from the city canals at the State Textile and Industry Museum in Augsburg (tim).<\/p><h3>A precious commodity for the region \u2013 yesterday, today and in the future<\/h3><p>The element of water uniquely combines nature, technology and economics in A\u00b3. The history of the economic region demonstrates how we humans and our society can benefit from the power of water. Over the centuries, the spirit of innovation in the region has led to technical innovations in hydraulic engineering. Even today, the regional energy supply and drinking water production are based on the Augsburg tradition, which is being continued with the help of new technologies. Then as now, water is not only the basis for well-being in the region, but also a valuable resource that must be protected.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- end col -->\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- end row
