Short summary
The flash flood in Braunsbach, Germany, in May 2016 was a severe and rather unfamiliar event which caused high monetary losses and heavy damage to buildings.

We conclude that the damage driving factors are complex and also differ partly from those of riverine floods, pointing out the need for further research.
