The Duisburg Kleine Emscher sewage treatment plant was built in 1965 as the first large biological sewage treatment plant near the Rhine in Duisburg . In 1999 it was shut down.

The confluence of the Emscher into the Rhine had to be relocated down the Rhine several times due to subsidence. Sewage works were built at the mouths, and they continued to operate even after the river sections were separated. In addition to the Kleine Emscher sewage treatment plant, there is still the Duisburg Alte Emscher sewage treatment plant and the Emscher estuary sewage treatment plant . The operator is the Emschergenossenschaft .

Since the Kleine Emscher wastewater treatment plant no longer corresponded to the state of the art and the wastewater treatment plant on the Alte Emscher, only a few kilometers away , had idle capacities, the decision was made to divert the wastewater there. The sewage treatment plant on the Kleine Emscher has therefore been shut down since 1999 . As part of the Emscher conversion, it was converted into a rain retention system by 2010.
