Donaudamm in Blindheim: urgent stabilization after flood 2024!

Donaudamm in Blindheim: urgent stabilization after flood 2024!

In the district of Dillingen, the flood of 2024 shows its aftermath. The Donaudamm in Blindheim is particularly affected, which urgently needs to be stabilized. Mayor Jürgen Frank reported on a meeting with the water management office, in which the focus was on the situation of the dam. Although the dam appeared brittle in the last flood, it ultimately held the pressure. However, those responsible do not let the uncertainties come to rest: a stabilization plan should be developed together with the water management office.

flood is an issue that affects not only Blindheim, but all of Bavaria. Tagesschau reports of tragic experiences in many communities of the Free State. Over a year after the flood, which flooded large parts of Bavaria, measures to secure the regions are still pending. For example, the municipality of Wertingen has to deal with damage from over 500 damaged buildings and is under pressure to finally implement suitable protective measures.

stabilization of the Danaudamm

The worrying location on the Donaudamm shows that there is a need for action. The municipality has already paved the way for a new construction area "behind the school" with the aim of giving fresh impulses for the region. In addition, an approval decision for early citizen participation was taken to include the residents in the plans.

In Blindheim there was also a discussion about new urn burial options. The cemetery officers are intended to submit suggestions for tree -gymnastics graves or earth -gymnastics grave systems. Such projects can strengthen community culture and at the same time serve as a valuable alternative to existing funeral forms.

technological developments

Another progress is related to the fiber optic expansion in Unterglauheim. The expansion should be completed here by the end of the year. For Blindheim, however, alternative expansion options for 50 connections have to be found. Mayor Frank checks the registration for the "support shop closing program" to support this expansion and to ensure the digital connection.

The discussion about the lack of accessibility among the polling stations has also started driving. Suggestions for new locations in the community were made, including the community hall Blindheim and the fire station in Unterglauheim. This could meet the needs of all citizens.

insight into municipal challenges

A central concern is the discussion about the electricity purchase of the municipality, which has to pay high electricity prices. In order to reduce the costs, the Council has decided to examine offers from regional energy providers. This shows the willingness to adapt to local politics in the face of economic challenges.

Overall, it should be noted that flood protection is a decisive topic for the region. With the new flood check, an offer of advice for Bavarian municipalities, danger areas are to be better identified and effective options for action are to be developed. This shows that the municipalities can become active to reduce the flood risks and to inform the population about water hazards.

The municipalities, including Blindheim, are faced with the challenge of not only fixing existing damage, but also taking preventive action against future flood events. The path to more security is rocky, but with a "good hand", many of the planned measures can soon be put into practice.
