history

The Gießen was one of several bodies of water east of Worms. It thus also served as an obstacle to the approach to the city fortifications on the Rhine side. Wooden bridges mediated the connection via the casting between the city and the Rhine. The Eisbach flowed into the Gießen and initially flowed through the city of Worms and supplied it with process water. When the port of Worms was rebuilt in the last decade of the 19th century , pouring was in the way. It was eliminated during the construction of the raft and trading port in 1890–1893.
