This is the most straightened and canalized section of the river. It follows the Leiselheimer Damm (also known as the Pfrimmdamm ), which was constructed in the Middle Ages and raised in 1841 as part of

160-679: The Mohbach joins from the southeast.

240-674: The federal highway B9 and the Worms Port Railway  [ de ] . About 3 kilometres (2 mi) north of the city center, it flows into the Upper Rhine at Rhine kilometer 446.7. The Rhine also forms the Worms city limit and the boundary between the states of Rhineland-Palatinate and Hesse . In some years, the Pfrimm causes major flooding, for example in 1882, 1892, 1902, 1940, 1950, 1978, 1995 and 2003. A particularly high flood occurred on 27 November 1882, when all

260-478: The middle of the Enzingerstraße . Here, a concrete dam and a weir were used to hold back the water and divert it into the (now abandoned) Mühlbach ("Mill Brook"). Water not needed by the mill was drained using an adjustable weir or, at higher water levels, across the entire width of the concrete barrier. Here, too, and "ox piano" was constructed, allowing pedestrians to cross the Pfrimm with dry feet, if

280-734: The mills along the river were flooded and the fields along the river were transformed into a series of lakes. The water flowed into Gaustraße street in the district of Neuhausen  [ de ; fr ] , north of the Worms Central Station .

Donnersbergkreis The Donnersbergkreis

340-510: The stones were raised above the water like the black keys on a piano. Later a regular footbridge was built above the weir, so that the ox piano lost its importance. Nevertheless, the stones are still there and when the water level isn't too high, it can still be crossed. Also, a fish ladder was added, allowing fish to overcome the weir. A much older ox piano could be found in the western part of in Pfeddersheimer, approximately in

360-432: The water level permitted. The Mill Brook was about a meter deep, near the weir even over two meters, and was used by local residents for swimming and diving, as was the waterfall created by the weir.

It is a combination of stone stairs leading down to Pfrimm steps and stepping stones lying in the river allowing pedestrians to cross. In the local vernacular it was called an "ox piano": "ox", because Karl Bittel, who constructed it, claimed even an ox would be capable of crossing, and "piano" because
