This special compilation examines the catastrophic flood in the eastern Ore Mountains, pairing scientific analysis with historical context and practical proposals. It blends meteorology, geology, settlement history, forest management, and a photographic record to document the devastation and argue for prevention and landscape-sensitive recovery. The opening of the volume moves from brief publication notes to a stirring foreword that sets recent global disasters against the night the floods tore through the Müglitz, Seidewitz, and Gottleuba valleys, listing ravaged towns, heavy losses, and introducing a photo atlas as evidence and appeal. A major article then explains the meteorological setup—maritime–continental airflows, orographic rainfall, and the amplifying role of sunspot-linked circulation—showing how polar air clashed with hot, moist masses and was funneled by the Elbe valley. Next comes a clear guide to the region’s tectonic build, relating faulting, valley forms, and groundwater to dam safety and urging careful siting on sound bedrock. A historical study traces settlement and mining from medieval colonization to intensive tin and iron exploitation, tying large-scale deforestation of the high plateau to both flash floods and summer droughts; it adds field observations from the 1927 damage (breached dams, surge waves, vulnerable floodplain housing) and calls for reforestation, removal of cross-valley obstacles, and strict building controls. The section closes by introducing a proposal for protective forests alongside planned reservoirs, before the excerpt breaks off.
