The recent floods in Bruchsal not only severely affected the city's infrastructure, but also put the solidarity of the community in the foreground. The support of the Bundeswehr shows how important communal action is in crisis situations.

The effects of flood in Bruchsal

On Wednesday night, heavy rain overflowed the Saalbach. The water level reached a critical point of over 2.13 meters, which means that the flood exceeds the brand of a 100-year flood. This meant that numerous districts were abruptly under water while the streets and basements were flooded. The citizens of Bruchsal suddenly had to deal with the destruction and residues of the water.

offers of help and neighborhood help

To relieve the damage, not only official bodies have been committed. Around 70 soldiers from the Bundeswehr are active in the city to support them in cleaning up. They are on site with trucks to remove mud and bulky waste. If we read between the lines, there is a remarkable dynamic of helpfulness: in addition to the soldiers, employees of the construction depot and volunteers also work hand in hand to bring the city back into a habitable condition.

power supply and infrastructure

The city administration can already give all -clear, with regard to the power supply. All roads have been supplied with electricity again since Friday evening. Nevertheless, the situation remains tense in many households. Some buildings have broken electrics due to the water damage or the basement are so moist that a connection to the power supply would be dangerous. In these cases, neighborhood aid is very important. Distribution stations have been set up in affected roads to offer residents with extension cables. In addition, two emergency meeting points have established themselves in order to continue to offer support to the affected citizens.

a city in the opening

The flood in Bruchsal may have been devastating, but it also produced the resilience and the community spirit of the city dwellers. The current clean -up work is not only an attempt to restore the city as soon as possible, but also proof that people stand together in times of crisis to support each other. In a society that is often shaped by individualism, this event shows how important neighborhood help and cooperation are.
