 ==== Abstract ====
+Floodplains represent a global hotspot of sensitive socioenvironmental changes and early human forcing mechanisms. In this lecture, I focus on the environmental conditions of preindustrial floodplains in Central Europe and the fluvial societies that operated there. Due to their high land-use capacity and the simultaneous necessity of land reclamation and risk minimisation, societies have radically restructured the Central European floodplains. According to the current scientific consensus, up to 95% of Central European floodplains have been extensively restructured or destroyed. Therefore, question arises as to whether or when it is justified to understand Central European floodplains as a ‘Fluvial Anthroposphere’. The case studies available to date show that human-induced impacts on floodplain morphologies and environments and the formation of specific fluvial societies reveal fundamental changes in the medieval and preindustrial modern periods. I aim to contribute to disentangling the questions of when and why humans became a significant controlling factor in Central European floodplain formation, and how humans in interaction with natural processes and other chains of effects have modified floodplains. As a conclusion, I superimpose emerging fields of research concerning the onset of the Fluvial Anthroposphere and provide 10 specific thematic
+objectives for future multidisciplinary work in the context of risk assessment and sustainable developments.
