Rostock: Flood protection in danger - mobile warehouse is not enough!
Rostock, Deutschland - water towards the city! Preparations for comprehensive flood protection in the Rostock city harbor run in full swing. Due to the increased water levels in January 2025, it is clear: something has to happen here. The goal is to create effective protection against flooding around the Rostock Mühlendamm. But the planning encounters unexpected hurdles: according to ndr Defined warehouse for mobile flood protection modules much too small.
So far, it had been decided as part of the preparations for the storage of at least 1,000 meters of a mobile plug -in system, but found that only 750 meters in Feuerwache 1 can be accommodated in the Südstadt Rostock. This limits the possibilities accordingly and means that the city administration plans to make a tender for exactly these 750 meters - a clear step backwards for flood protection. Other endangered areas have already been identified, including the city harbor, but the decision as to which buildings should actually actually be protected, the crisis staff is responsible forlong -term solutions required
not enough! In addition to the short -term problem, the country plans extensive flood protection for the region. As in a report by Rostock today stipulates that the plan is to build a 3.54 meter high flood protection in the Rostock city harbor. This project is estimated at a proud 24.5 million euros and is said to extend over almost three kilometers, starting from the Kabutzenhof to the Vorpommern Bridge.
The desired construction is considered sensible, since the expected advantages of flood protection are about twelve times as high as the costs. This means that investments in the security of the city and its inhabitants are of great value. Holger Matthäus, the Senator for Infrastructure, Environment and Construction, emphasizes the successful cooperation between the city and the country, while Minister Till Backhaus praised the intensive discussions that led to the elaboration of the plan. However, there are also concerns: Redeing restaurateurs on the banks of the Kempowski, especially with regard to the possible visual impairments by a high wall.
a comprehensive concept
In the overall view, the planned flood protection system is not only a protective shield, but also an investment in the infrastructure. The protective wall will be designed so that it does not disturb the view too much. Among other things, it is planned to increase the road from the L22 to the Kabutzenhof and a luxurious free area at the matriculation monument. There are even two variants for the silo peninsula that are also discussed.
A central blocking plant that was regarded as an option was excluded because the associated construction and maintenance costs would be extremely high. Construction will be targeted in 2023, while completion is expected by 2030. A step that is necessary and which will help to make Rostock weatherproof for future challenges.
