Flood

Winter floods on the Schwabach

Occasionally the Schwabach floods (most recently in 2013), usually in winter after the snow has melted and after extreme rainfall. The water level is monitored at several measuring points, in Hetzles at various sources, in Büg near Forth and in Erlangen on the Bürgermeistersteg. In the event of flooding, certain paths near the bank are closed. Major damage is rare due to the largely natural or at least undeveloped flood plains. This is also due to the fact that the Schwabach was renatured in 2001 in some places in the city of Erlangen.

In the Uttenreuth community, however, it has been established that around 60 buildings would be affected in the event of a hundred-year flood. For this reason, advice was given about building a dike or other protective measures. Additional protective measures are also planned in Erlangen as a precaution in the event of a hundred-year flood.

Mills

The Schwabach drove a series of mills on (listed in the flow direction): the Latvians mill for roof city that Lindenmühle at Frohnhof that Brander mill in case of fire, the Steinbacher mill Sendel- and Minderleinsmühle at Kleinsendelbach that Gaber- and Long Brucker mill south of Dormitz, the Habernhofermühle near Weiher, the Uttenreuther Mühle, the Buckenhofer Mühle, the Schleifmühle and the Essenbacher Mühle in Erlangen.

The Energy Atlas Bavaria currently (as of July 2019) lists 12 locations of hydropower plants on the Schwabach, as well as one at a tributary in Graefenberg .
