Reminiscing the Great Flood of 1992, Occurring on July 31

Following a devastating century flood 33 years ago, the city, in cooperation with the municipality of Schauenburg, developed a comprehensive flood protection concept that has received great attention at the World's Fair EXPO in 2000.

The flood, which submerged the entire Bauna Valley, caused damage of approximately 6.5 million euros in the region. To counteract such disasters, the largest measures implemented as part of the flood protection concept include the Polder Schefferfeld near Altenritte and the retention basin Katzenmühle.

The total costs for these measures amounted to around 17 million euros, with 70 percent coming from funding. More recent additions to the flood protection system include the flood retention basin at the Hunsrückstraße in Kirchbauna, which was inaugurated in the summer of 2017.

Several smaller local flood protection measures have also been implemented, such as in Guntershausen. The Association for Wastewater Disposal and Flood Protection in the city-Schauenburg was instrumental in developing this flood protection concept.
