The Werre has always played an important role in nature as a transport route: soil, substrate, fish spawn, plant seeds, and other animals on their migrations—the Werre has always sustained and nurtured life on both sides of its banks. Increasingly, however, the river was also perceived as an obstacle and a nuisance; floods made farming and settlement near the river difficult. For a short time (1811–1813), the Werre served as the border between France and Westphalia. Farmers had to “smuggle” their harvests home—today, only municipal districts lie on either side of the river.
