Ein kurzes Aufatmen nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg - viele Industriebetriebe waren zerstört - konnte die Gnadenlosigkeit des einsetzenden Wirtschaftswunders nicht bremsen: Schaumberge hinter den Staustufen machten die Katastrophe für jedermann sichtbar, der Rhein verkam zur Kloake - darüber halfen auch Romantiker oder "Das Rheingold" nicht hinweg!. [G] After the Rhine was granted a brief respite just after World War II, during which many industrial facilities were destroyed, the effects of the Wirtschaftswunder, the economic upturn that swept through Germany during the 1950s, were merciless. The mountains of foam behind each barrage were a clear symbol of the disaster, and the Rhine became a sewer - a fact that neither romantic attributes nor 'Das Rheingold' could hide.
