BAD NEUENAHR-AHRWEILER, Germany (Reuters) - Business owners in a town badly hit by the record flooding in Germany struggled on Saturday to pick up the pieces after their livelihoods - from old books to wine - were swept away or caked in sludge.

Mud still filled the streets of Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, nestled in the Ahrweiler district where at least 98 people were killed.
