The planned flood retention Öberauer Schleife is located in a former Danube loop, which was cut off from the Danube federal waterway during the construction of the Straubing barrage. An area of approx. 525 ha is to be used for the construction of the flood retention system. The Öberauer Schleife will be flooded via an adjustable intake structure on the Danube. Discharge will mainly take place via an outlet structure to the Kößnach outlet, which flows into the Danube below the Straubing barrage. The project area is part of the Natura 2000 protected area system and contains other protected areas, sensitive species and biotopes.
