English Translation

The ice flow on the Vltava between Prague and Moderschan was smooth and smooth on ll.2.l94l from l6 o'clock after the flood wave of the Wran dam had been reinforced by the flood waves of the Beräun. At the same time, the ice on the Beraun from Chernoschitz to Mokropes began to move and joined the rink of the Vltava. At the construction site equipment for the repair work of the Helmer-Wehr there were slight damages. As far as it can be overlooked at the moment, the iron piling wall has resisted the ice shock and has only been significantly bent in one place. The massive pillar on the island's head, which was already strongly attacked at the flood of last year, was completely washed down and collapsed after damage to the above catch dam. Due to the careless behaviour of the affected people, the ice passage of the Vltava and Beraun has caused the loss of two lives, which were surprised by an oxen team during field work by the ice tunnel and could not save themselves. The strong ice impact, which formed in the middle Vltva by an ice transfer above the mouth of the Sasau on the island Kilian and. In the course of the 12.2.4l over 6 m height had piled up and threatened the place Stiechowitz, set itself in motion by the overpressure after the clearing of the Vltava section below to Prague and also passed smoothly through the city area Prague. Damage did not occur in Stiecowitz and Dawle, except that some deeper houses were flooded in the ground floor. They had already been cleared as a precaution. Closely above the Stiechowitz dam, the ice remained on a length of about ll km and will hardly be affected, since the water flow of the Vltava river is already falling due to the reoccurrence of frost at the construction site.
