@appassionatoearthling interesting detail here is that this is all intentional: the area is a floodplain that gets flooded naturally in periods of heavy rain or melting snow. When the rail line was constructed, the rails were built on top of a dam. Apparently that was in 1880!

(Maybe you already know all this, but I was curious so I did a quick search for an explanation.)

18. Februar – auf der Strecke bei Nidderau ist mal wieder Land unter. Aber nur für die Straße

Hochwasser? Egal, die Bahn fährt!

Die Auen der Nidder in Nidderau sind von Hochwasser überschwemmt. Nur eine Bahnstrecke hält sich in diesem Bereich über Wasser.
