Deichgraf
In Germany offical persons working as dike-warden are called "Deichgraf" or "Deichgräf" at the lower Rhine. This is the direkt expression for the dutch "Dijkgraaf". They are the head of a local cooperative involed in coastal management or in river levee management. These cooparatives are founded by the muncipalities which are adjacent to the coast or the river. 2003:C3:771B:AD27:42AC:ADAB:ADE3:7D94 (talk) 20:14, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
