			\|Picture description=Hainburg River Restoration, courtesy of Donau-Auen National Park
			\|Project summary=This project involved the removal of all artificial elements strengthening the banks of a river section on the Danube's left bank across from the city Hainburg. In the entire lower section of the project area, all stone and boulder supports were removed from a length of around 2.1 km. Because the upper section exhibited a nascent overhanging bank character, it was necessary to safeguard the embankment at the height of the regulated low water level, heeding however navigational requirements.
			In the long term, the new riverbank should

			* allow a natural and structurally multi-facetted riverbank landscape to develop
			* bring about a continuous lateral shift of the bank edge and thus cultivate the associated erosion, siltation, and fluctuation zones and keep these in dynamic interplay in the long run
			* work to counteract the formation of riverbank formations
			* intensify the extent to which high water can replenish the riparian woods, inflow channels and bodies of water
			* improve the groundwater connection between main stem and wetlands and keep it open in the years to come.

			Indeed, shortly after construction had ended, the restoration potential of the landscape became clear: the flowing water had caused the river bank line to recede. After only a few months, the first signs of riverine habitat rejuvenation were observed in the flat sections of the inside bends. In particular the pioneer sites, the early succession stages and the wetland meadows were aided. Thus the highly-endangered species which find their home in these wetland habitats will be able to utilise them for a long time to come.
