Munich’s dredging erased the Eisbachwelle, a famous urban surfing wave, sparking outcry and efforts to restore it.
German surfers in Munich are devastated after a city dredging project eliminated the Eisbachwelle, one of the world’s largest inland surfing waves, due to changes in river flow and sediment levels.
The wave, a beloved fixture for local and international surfers, was created by a controlled water system and had become a symbol of urban recreation.
City officials say the dredging improved flood prevention and water quality, but surfers argue the loss undermines community spaces.
In response, some surfers secretly installed an underwater ramp to temporarily restore the wave, prompting discussions on balancing infrastructure needs with recreational preservation.
Engineers suggest technical solutions could recreate the wave using hydrodynamic principles.
