1946: severe weather came down from the Hohe Salve. Hailstones the size of a fist rained down. The Brixenbach broke its banks and largely flooded the village of Feuring-Winkl. The Lauterbach became a raging torrent. Large rocks filled the stream bed to such an extent that water poured into the centre of the village and tore away anything that stood in its way. All the houses were devastated by mud and debris, and all the cellars were flooded. Telephone lines were disrupted. Rubble and piles of wood blocked the railway. Near the village centre, the Lauterbach finally flowed into the Brixentaler Ache. All lead and tile roofs were badly damaged; there was even a hole in the roof of the rectory.
