15 July 2021, North Rhine-Westphalia, Wuppertal: A man stands in front of a fire brigade barrier and sees the water of the Wupper river overflowing a bridge in downtown Wuppertal. After enormous rainfall, authorities in the Bergisches Land region fear an uncontrolled overflow of the Wupper dam near Radevormwald. For safety reasons, residents of the Wupper in Radevormwald have been asked to leave their homes since late evening, also with loudspeaker announcements. For those affected, there is a care centre in a primary school in Radevormwald. Photo: Fabian Strauch/dpa
