The regulation of the Danube between Vienna and the March from 1870 onwards exacerbated the problems of the Marchfeld population, as the Danube deepened further. The groundwater level in the Marchfeld continued to drop and bodies of water dried up. Over-exploitation of the groundwater body and official restrictions on water abstraction due to excessively high nitrate levels worsened the problem situation in the course of the 20th century. The Marchfeld became the most intensively farmed region in Austria. Between 1986 and 2004, the Marchfeld canal system, almost 100 km in total length – consisting of artificial canals and adapted streams – was finally built, with the main channel being flooded as early as 1992.

Deutsch Wagram Station, a true treasure in Lower Austria, is not just a through station but also a piece of history. With its ancient walls, it is one of the oldest stations in the country. Three listed buildings stand on the site: the impressive reception building, the old water station, and the workers' waiting room, where many day-trippers once waited for their train. Here, you can sense the tradition and charm of the past – a place that tells the stories of times long past. A real eye-catcher for anyone who passes through!
