Safety for Generations: Eisenach's Shield Against the Flood

Climate change is forcing us to rethink our approach: How do we equip our cities to handle unpredictable weather extremes? The city of Eisenach provides a powerful answer, leveraging ERDF funding to implement a groundbreaking flood protection program along the Hörsel River. Residents benefit twice over: the inner city is optimally protected, while attractive local recreation areas are created along the waterfront at the same time. This logistical masterpiece enhances the quality of life for the entire region—a strong demonstration of how EU funding makes cities resilient and secures the immediate living environment of its people.
