For the protection and optimization of near-natural water bodies and small structures (trees, wet and dry biotopes);
As a habitat for endangered animal and plant species;
To safeguard the relics of industrial and settlement history that are interesting from a regional perspective;
To preserve the large-scale character of the landscape as well as the relative undisturbedness of the river section from construction or use-related interventions in the landscape situation;
To ensure the coherence and implementation of the European "Natura 2000" system of protected areas.
