Flood polder Eltheim

Flutpolder Eltheim: Upper half of the picture, left the Danube

The planned flood polder "Eltheim" is named after the district of Eltheim. The village lies on the western edge of the planned, about 590 hectares large controlled flood polders and would be next to the village Geisling mainly affected, which is located to the southeast. Its retention capacity of around 16 million cubic meters would be used in the event of a very large flood event and relieve the downstream , including Straubing and Deggendorf . The municipality of Barbing and all municipalities in the surrounding area bordering on the Danube have unanimously and emphatically opposed the creation of controlled flood polders planned by the Bavarian state government to mitigate flood levels on the Danube. The district administrator of the district of Regensburg Tanja Schweiger is also skeptical. The groundwater problem that has been known for years, caused by the Danube, and the threat to the drinking water supply of Wörth, which is also in the immediate vicinity of the planned flood polders, speak clearly against it. A strong protest movement has emerged from farmers and citizens.

On April 11, 2015, the CSU district chairwoman and Minister of Social Affairs, Emilia Müller, visited the village of Kiefenholz opposite the Danube to familiarize herself with the problem of flood polders.

Due to the coalition agreement concluded between the Free Voters and the CSU after the state elections on October 14, 2018 in Bavaria , the flood polder concept is no longer being pursued in the Regensburg district. This was a key demand of the Free Voters. The funds released are to be invested in decentralized flood protection along the Danube and all its inlets.
