Caption: 15 July 2021, North Rhine-Westphalia, Wuppertal: A police patrol car secures a flooded street. The Wupper in Wuppertal's city centre overflows its banks. After enormous rainfall, the authorities in the Bergisches Land 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
