+	* src/main/java/de/intevation/flys/artifacts/model/RiverFactory.java,
+	  src/main/java/de/intevation/flys/artifacts/model/River.java: New. A model
+	  class that represents a river and its factory to create concrete river
+	  instances.
+	  NOTE: Currently, this is just a mockup. The factory just returns two
+	  static rivers "Mosel" and "Saar" without a connection to a backend.
