A year after the flood disaster: Rudersberg gets up again!
Rudersberg, Deutschland - on June 2, 2025, a year after the devastating flood in Rudersberg and the surrounding regions, the residents report on a long and tedious reconstruction process. On June 2, 2024, the flood, which lies northeast of Stuttgart, had hit hard on June 2, 2024. The flood not only called for material damage, but also human life, including two pensioners in the neighboring town of Miedelsbach. Werner Diggelmann, 83 years old, was carried away by the floods in his basement, but was saved by his wife. The total damage to the region amounts to over 120 million euros, according to remszeitung.de .
The extent of the damage was enormous and reached for public infrastructure, private households and business. Mayor Raimon Ahrens (non -party) described that the municipality had to spend 1.2 million euros for waste disposal after the catastrophe. In the reconstruction, among other things, a pharmacy and the butcher shop by Werner Hinderer, which was badly damaged, are now back into operation after renovations. Despite this progress, psychological pressure on the residents is high. Many are in constant fear in heavy rain and make structural changes to protect themselves from future damage.
The reconstruction and financial support
The financial burden of the flood is described as a significant challenge for the municipality and the district of Rems-Murr. According to Interior Minister Thomas Strobl (CDU), the necessary funds for the reconstruction could amount to a "robust three -digit million amount". While the state government has already announced a flood aid package of 25 million euros, this is financed in half by the country and the municipal family. The complete elimination of the damage could take years based on experiences with previous flood damage, such as in Braunsbach 2013, which needed up to ten years for complete financial processing, according to the SWR .
The community has made remarkable progress in reconstruction, even if there is still a lot to do. In order to fight the psychological effects and promote social cohesion, a street festival is planned in Klaffenbach. Hinderer also wants to create a contact point for those affected who fight with the bureaucracy.
flood protection and prevention
A ray of hope is that 90% of the municipality have elementary damage insurance, but many are not secured for household items. A new dam was inaugurated shortly before the flood, the worse prevented. The 2024 event is classified by experts as a 5000-year flood, which illustrates the probability of a similar incident in the future. Such flood events not only have direct costs, but also far -reaching economic consequences, as studies show. These affect various economic sectors and often have indirect effects that are difficult to quantify.
The challenges in front of which Rudersberg is facing reflect the experiences of many communities in Germany that are affected by floods. The need for a robust flood protection is becoming increasingly urgent, while the reconstruction requires a bundled exertion of citizens, municipalities and the country to ensure the security and well -being of the community in the long term. Estimates show that the sum of the direct and indirect damage caused by floods can be almost the same, which further underlines the urgency of effective damage to damage and prevention, as DetailsOrt Rudersberg, Deutschland Quellen
