Successful renovation of Lake Lake in Lahr: A profit for the community

The Stegmattensee in Lahr, which was created as part of the State Garden Show 2018, has taken a significant step towards sustainability and environmental awareness. The recently completed renovation work is not only a technical improvement, but also a profit for the entire community.

The background of the renovation

The Stegmattensee had lost over the normal level of water until the renovation, which required a high effort to compensate. In the long term, this loss caused large amounts of water to be pumped up to maintain the water level. The cause of this problem was a permeable dam area that surrounds the lake. The dam was not sufficiently stable by pouring up, which led to the leaks.

technical measures for improvement

As part of the renovation measures, significant changes were made. Slits with a depth of up to 2.50 meters were dug in the dam both on the south and the west side and on the bathing beach. These were then filled with a special sealing material to ensure the stability of the dam. In addition, a sheet piling was used on the bank garden to further improve the tightness. The review of the tightness confirmed the success of these measures.

legal steps and assumption of costs

However, the renovation did not remain without side effects. An independent evidence procedure was initiated before the Offenburg Regional Court in order to clarify the defects and their technical causes caused by the companies involved in the construction. At the same time, a lawsuit is running in which the city of Lahr is aiming for the complete reimbursement of the renovation costs.

The meaning for the environment

The renovation of the lake of the Stegmatten is not only a success at the technical level, but also an important step for the quality of life of the Lahr citizens. The lake plays a central role in the community's leisure and recreational area and contributes to the ecological balance of the area. By securing the water level, the Stegmattensee will remain a popular local recreation area and increase the attractiveness of the city of Lahr.
