Innovative solution for climate adjustment implemented in Brunnenstrasse and Sudetenstrasse
With the fundamental renovation of Brunnenstraße and Sudetenstrasse not only renewed two important traffic routes, but also realized a future-oriented concept for climate adaptation: the sponge city principle . The two streets were redesigned in such a way that they can also be used as play streets - and at the same time make an active contribution to heavy rain protection and urban climate .
Rainwater management in a new way
The sponge city principle pursues the goal of absorbing rainwater where it falls . Instead of deriving it into the sewage system, it seeps away via special, water -permeable soil layers directly on site. Tree plantings complement the system and help to store the water and slowly return to the surroundings. So it becomes:
- reduced the risk of flooding
- The groundwater strengthened,
- And improved microclimate
Exemplary for the district
The measure has not only attracted urban attention, but also nationally. Experts from the district administration already found out about the project on site.
Mayor Manuel Feick emphasizes:
"With this renovation, we show that infrastructure and climate protection can go hand in hand. The new game streets offer more quality of stay - especially for children - and make Reinheim more livable."
