During the construction work, the existing concrete reinforcement was removed and a flat, unpaved stream bed with structurally rich bank zones, wetlands, and retention areas was created. The monotonous concrete channel has now been transformed into a near-natural watercourse that combines the interests of nature conservation and local recreation in equal measure.

In total, more than 30,000 m³ of soil material was moved along the 1,200 m long section of water. The costs of approximately €1.6 million were covered 60% by the state of Rhineland-Palatinate (Aktion Blau Plus) and 40% by AGEM Mainz (from nature conservation compensation funds).
