At a ceremony today, the start of the construction for a new section ("Wappenhenschlange") of the flood protection facility in Döbeln (Saxony) will take place. This is part of a project funded by the European Regional Policy for the construction of two new sections of the flood protection system in Döbeln, the so-called "Wappenhenschanlage" and a section along the Freiberger Mulde in the area of the old town. The project is supported with €27 million from the European Regional Development Fund.
The entire project is divided into several separate construction phases and spans several funding periods.
The flood protection facility is an important contribution to the protection of the population of Döbeln, the local businesses, the old town of Döbeln as well as the areas along the Freiberger Mulde and Flutmulde in the urban area from a flood.
