The floods in Central Europe in June 2009 mainly affected the Central European countries Austria , the Czech Republic and Serbia on the Danube , Moldau and Oder , and in some cases also Germany ( Bavaria ), Slovakia , Poland and Romania . The weather that was responsible for the floods dragged on until around mid-July.

The flood disasters killed at least 21 people and caused damage currently estimated to be several hundred million euros.

In the course of July there were severe hail storms with local flooding all over Central Europe. Their total damage was estimated at a double-digit million sum (as of August 2009).

weather condition

June 2009 was - at least for Austria - one of the rainiest June months since weather records began. After a very dry April, May was already damp, and rainy low pressure situations and thunderstorms followed repeatedly until mid-June. From June 20th to the end of June, Deep Quinton caused heavy rainfall on the north and east sides of the Alps , the south side of the Carpathians , and the central Balkans as far as the Crimean region and the Baltic Sea area . It was an altitude low moving slowly from the Adriatic towards the Black Sea - despite the typical warm and humid sliding up from the southeast and accumulated precipitation from the east and northeast, a "classic 'flood situation", the Vb characteristic of a bottom core was missing .

Deep Quinton formed from June 20 to 22, when a high altitude low over the Alps was cut off towards the southeast. An atlantic ingress of cold air had brought heavy precipitation in the northern Alps from June 18 to 20, with snowfall up to 1,500 m. The split off high altitude shifted over the central Adriatic on 20/21. and the Central Balkans on June 22nd. Its front system, the occlusion of which was carried out from the east and then northeast towards Central Europe, led from June 22nd to 24th from the Lower Inn Valley to the Vienna Basin to heavy rainfall of over 100 mm / 48 h, with 207 mm / 48 h in the Lunz at the lake . Locally, this phase was comparable to the Alpine flood in 2005 , which, however, had a faster rise.

From June 25th the low shifted over the Black Sea , on June 25th and 26th the precipitation concentrated on the Belgrade area and southern Hungary , in Austria and the Czech Republic the situation eased again. On the 27th and 28th of the month a front moved against southern Poland and the Baltic States , and other high-precipitation air masses hit the Czech Republic, Austria and Serbia again on the 27th, 28th and 29th, and on the 29th also central Bulgaria and Moldova .

Only after the 29th did this stable and stationary general weather situation disintegrate, but the air masses over Central and Eastern Europe remained extremely humid and unstable, so that repeated heavy thunderstorms led to further local floods in the following days. Up until the first two weeks of July, local heavy rain of over 50 mm was recorded across Central Europe in a few hours. This weather phase came to an end with the passage of the lows Rainer over England and the North Sea and Steffen over southern Scandinavia, which slowly penetrated the general weather situation from July 3rd to 9th.

Effects in the individual countries

The floods leading Schwarza in the Höllental
The flood leading to Pitten in Pitten

On Tuesday, June 23rd, the strong increase in the Danube tributaries, which lead from the south to the Danube, began to take effect and in many places in the Austrian Alpine foothills in Upper and Lower Austria, flood alarms were triggered on the night of June 24th. The state warning centers were manned more. As early as the morning of the 24th, around 4,000 firefighters were in action in both federal states, and helicopters of the armed forces were also in action.

In Upper Austria, the two rivers Krems and Traun partially emerged from their banks. The levels of the tributaries were rising, while the Danube was still constant. Seven districts were also affected in Lower Austria. The rivers Ybbs , Melk , Erlauf , Traisen and Perschling in particular caused floods. The place Ybbsitz had been closed from the outside world since 3 a.m. On the Danube ( Strudengau , Wachau ) the existing mobile flood protection devices were installed as far as possible. In Styria , only individual operations, mainly pumping work, but also the removal of mudslides, were reported.
Heavy rains were also in Vienna, the deep memory of the Albertina (under the bastion terrace), store in the nearly one million artifacts, had completely cleared after a flooding are.

From June 25th the prolonged rainfall was over, but more and more short driving rain with large amounts of water was recorded. Since the soil was no longer absorbent, the consequences of this precipitation were just as devastating. In Upper Austria the situation eased as the levels of the Danube tributaries slowly fell again. In Steyr the level at the Stadtkai had dropped again by 1.4 m on the previous day. During the night in Mauthausen, the Danube had reached its highest level at 6.9 m and was also slowly sinking again, the focus of the flood shifting towards Wachau. The precipitation itself migrated to the east, in Burgenland 253 were called to flood operations within 24 hours by the 326 fire brigades.

On June 26th, there were further floods from the Mostviertel to Burgenland, especially in the region around Güssing , where entire stretches of land were up to a meter under water and the town of Strem was surrounded by masses of water. In addition to the fire brigades, the armed forces with 200 men were on duty there. In the Lower Austrian town of Klingfurth near Wiener Neustadt, houses threatened by landslides had to be evacuated, and the Adria-Vienna pipeline , which lies in the affected slope, had to be shut down for safety reasons. In Styria, where around 400 landslides have been recorded since the storm began, the situation eased somewhat towards evening.

On Saturday, June 27th, two dams of the Leitha were blown up in the district of Bruck an der Leitha , so that water could flow into uninhabited areas in order to relieve the river. There was one fatality in Austria on the night of June 28th.

The rain continued after the weekend. The Armed Forces' relief effort was concentrated in the Feldbach and Fürstenfeld area . Upper Styria was also increasingly affected : the town of Radmer was completely inaccessible and without electricity after severe mudslides. There were also floods and closures around Mariazell and Hieflau . The situation on the Enns worsened again, on Monday 29 June the Steyr gauge was again above 4 m at noon. The Wachau also issued a flood alarm again. On the night of June 30th, after the heaviest rainfall ever recorded in St. Pölten, the Alpine train station was flooded for the second time within a few days, and the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) had the Mariazellerbahn shut down again.

On Tuesday, further landslides were stopped with the help of armored hedgehogs . Nevertheless, numerous buildings have not yet been approved as habitable. Individual thunderstorms in the vicinity of Graz also led to lightning strikes. The Stübing open-air museum was also affected by flooding.

On Friday, July 3rd, the Wachau was hit by the storm for the second time within two weeks. The village of Spitz , which had previously been flooded by the Danube, was flooded this time by the Spitzer Bach , which is usually only 30 cm deep and which swelled to 4 meters after thunderstorms. An 81-year-old man who was carried away is not likely to be carried away until December 12th July was found near Traismauer in the Danube. Heavy thunderstorms with heavy precipitation also took place in the Waldviertel and the Steyr-Land district , so that over 2,000 firefighters were on duty again.

The St. Pölten cadastral community of Nadelbach on July 6th

On Monday, July 6th, in the afternoon, the heaviest rainfall in 200 years began. Large parts of Lower Austria, Vienna and Northern Burgenland were particularly affected. St. Pölten was declared a disaster area again, large parts of the city area were flooded. The Nadelbach flooded the cadastral communities of Nadelbach and Hafing on a large scale, and the area around the Alpine train station was also flooded again. On July 6th, areas that had never been flooded before were also completely unexpectedly under water. The Europaplatz and the Schießstadtring in St. Pölten had to be closed, a seven meter wide river made its way from the alpine train station towards the city center. The regional court and the prison were also threatened by the flood. Another danger was the flooding of the EVN substation , as the water level almost brought the power supply to a standstill. The B1a tunnel under the Landhausviertel was closed due to the flood, and the Westbahn had to stop operating for two hours in the evening. Additional problems arose from the rise in the groundwater level associated with the flooding , which also reached an all-time high.

For Tuesday, July 7th, the same severe weather warnings were issued as the day before. This time, however, the thunderstorms affected the Upper Austrian area more, where major damage to agriculture was caused by hail in the Gmunden, Gmunden , Vöcklabruck and Wels . In Dürnstein in the Wachau, there was a rock fall on the Vogelbergsteig, which blocked both the Danube Street and the Danube Bank Railway. The B3 has been freely accessible again since July 10th after blasting that detached loose rock from the wall. However, the Donauuferbahn requires extensive repairs.

On July 10, the situation in Styria came to a head again. In the Feldbach district in particular , there were more landslides again due to recent rains. In the meantime, it is assumed that there were 600 landslides in Styria during this period.

Rainfall in Austria

In the period from June 22nd, 7:00 am to June 24th, 7:00 am, a number of places in Austria received over 150 liters per square meter of precipitation: In some cases, the total monthly precipitation in June 2009 is also given - from Upper Austria to Northern Burgenland, 200–300% of the average Monthly precipitation totals should be noted, with the peak in St. Pölten at 388%, i.e. almost four times the normal amount.

Damage and relief measures

The first damage estimates were published after two weeks. In Burgenland, for example, the damage should amount to around 2.5 million euros. In Lower Austria around 2,500 to 3,000 cases of damage with a loss amount of around 60 million euros have been reported so far. The state of Lower Austria increased the aid from the previously estimated 2.5 million euros to 10 million euros. In Upper Austria damage reports are expected in the amount of 20 million euros. In Styria, too, around 10 million euros are assumed. Other federal states have not yet reported any damage amounts.

Since disaster management in Austria is largely carried out at the state level , hardly any figures are available for the whole of Austria. Nationwide figures were published only by the armed forces. In the course of the assistance assignment from June 23 to July 9, 137,000 hours were worked. On average, around 700 soldiers were deployed across Austria. The fire brigades and disaster relief services in the largest federal state of Lower Austria alone worked 311,000 hours. But the Lower Austrian Red Cross also helped with many volunteers, including crisis intervention teams . Volunteers from the Austrian team were also on duty.

How great the damage to the infrastructure was is shown by the fact that twelve roads and three railways were closed in Lower Austria alone at the beginning of August and the repair work still took weeks.

Germany

Already on June 23, the first warnings came in Bavaria , since the rainfall amounted to 70 liters per square meter in 24 hours. Snowfall was observed on the mountains, and 60 cm of fresh snow fell on the Zugspitze. The first floods occurred on the Inn that day. The district of Traunstein and the districts of Altötting , Berchtesgadener Land and Cham were particularly affected by the rising tributaries .

In the night of Thursday, June 25, the level of the Danube rose in Passau , so that reporting level three was reached. On Thursday the Danube and the Isar led floods of reporting level two. In the course of Thursday, however, the water level in Passau slowly sank again.

Poland

Flood protection in the Polish city of Kłodzko , Braci Gierymskich Street

On June 23, small rivers rose in the Rzeszów area and the Lower Silesian Voivodeship . After heavy rain in the Owl Mountains at which, for example, 60 mm / h fell in Walim , a flood alarm was issued for the Piława (river) from Mościsko ( Faulbrück ) and the Bystrzyca Świdnicka from Lubachów ( Breitenhain ). In Świdnica , the Bystrzyca streets flooded. Further damage occurred in Wałbrzych and Jelenia Góra .

Czech Republic

In the Czech Republic, the heavy rainfall in the Šumava and Gratzener Uplands since June 22nd has led to an increase in smaller Vltava inflows. A flood warning was given for South Bohemia. The highest level was for the rivers Malše , Blatnice and Černá . Also Budweis was struck by the warning. In the evening, the Rožnovská Bečva in Valašské Meziříčí rose by 1.20 m and the amount of water at the confluence with the Bečva increased ten times its normal value. The Vsetínská Bečva also swelled and several streets between Vsetín , Valašské Meziříčí and Rožnov pod Radhoštěm were flooded. Numerous cars sank in the water in Zubří . There were fatalities in Černotín and Valašské Meziříčí. In Český Krumlov , the Vltava reached 63 m³ / s, six times the normal amount of water. In Větřní a dinghy capsized, wherein a drowning of the three occupants.

The morning after the flash flood in Nový Jičín

The floods in northern Moravia and Silesia had a different character . There, after heavy rainfall on June 24th with rainfall of up to 80 l / m², flash floods occurred in the rivers Jičínka , Grasmanka and Zrzávka within two hours . The level of the Jičínka swelled to 5.5 m and exceeded the flood of the century of 1997 by 2 meters. In Jeseník nad Odrou the Luha brook rose to 2 meters within half an hour, four people died in the community, three of them drowning. People also died in Nový Jičín , Bernartice nad Odrou , Životice u Nového Jičína and Kunín . The floods also caused severe damage in the districts of Bludovice and Žilina, which belong to Nový Jičín, as well as in Hodslavice and Mořkov .

Other rivers burst their banks for a short time after local heavy rainfall. In Bohemian Switzerland , the Kamenice flooded parts of Janská on the evening of July 1st . On July 6th there was also a sudden thunderstorm in Ústecký kraj , which meant that a state of emergency had to be declared in some places. West and South Bohemia, too, were now severely threatened, like places near Tábor . The authorities feared dams in artificial lakes would burst and are considering evacuating the affected villages.

Parts of western and southern Bohemia and Central Moravia were also badly affected by the floods. In the region, dams threatened to break at a number of man-made lakes. The authorities considered evacuating several villages on Tuesday night.

A total of 14 people died as a result of the floods in the Czech Republic. A 15th person was missing. The Olomoucký kraj and the Moravskoslezský kraj in the Oder and March catchment areas , where numerous roads and railway connections were interrupted, were particularly hard hit .

Initial estimates had assumed a total damage of 5 to 6 billion crowns (~ 230 million €).

In severely affected areas, children have started to be vaccinated against hepatitis to prevent the disease from breaking out.

It was not until July 24 that the lowest flood warning level in the Nový Jičín region was lifted. However, criticism was repeatedly voiced that the fire brigade and the municipalities were informed too slowly or not at all about impending floods. Environment Minister Ladislav Miko confirmed that in critical times the servers of the meteorologists collapsed.

Slovakia

In Slovakia, a flood warning was given on June 24th for parts of the northwest and extreme west, and on the 25th it was extended to include the Danube Plain. On the 26th there was a flood warning on the entire stretch of the Danube and on the March . But already on June 23, two human lives were lost in Čirč in the Prešov district , near the Polish border. A pair of siblings drowned when the sister tried to save her brother.

In Devín , a district of Bratislava , the Danube level was expected to be 8.3 m for June 26th, 8.16 m. In addition to Devín, Petržalka was affected, but rather the regions of Šariš and the area around Dunajská Streda by a storm.

On June 27 and 28, the floods shifted to the Bardejov district , and the two districts of Tvrdošín and Námestovo in the Orava region , in particular the municipalities of Rabča and Oravská Polhora , where two bridges were destroyed. On the 29th, the Kežmarok district , with landslides and flooding in the towns of Kežmarok , Spišská Belá and Ľubica , and the Stará Bystrica and Radôstka communities in the Kysuce region were affected, and there were also storms in the Senica and Skalica districts .

A 20-year-old Slovak drowned in the Ružín reservoir , and a Czech was killed when a tourist raft sank on the border river Dunajec . There was one death in Stará Ľubovňa near the Polish border.

Hungary

Flooded road on the Danube in Budapest on June 29th

The first reports of tidal waves came from Hungary on June 25th. The Raab reached the highest water level ever recorded in Szentgotthárd on Thursday morning. This was 30 cm higher than during a major flood in 1965 . Due to the interim expansion of flood protection and since the high water level did not last long, no risk was expected. The Hungarian Western Railway , however, had to cease operations between Szentgotthárd and Jennersdorf , as the rails were washed away in numerous places. The first flood warning level was declared in Komárom-Esztergom county . The Leitha on Hungarian territory passed over.

On June 26th, a cautious all-clear was given for the Danube between Esztergom and Budapest , as the water levels remained below those feared. The peak was expected for the night of June 27th to 28th and was estimated to be 40–50 cm deeper than the devastating 2006 flood . Nevertheless, precautions have been taken in numerous critical areas, such as Szentendre Island .

On Sunday morning, June 28th, the Danube peaked, 25 percent below its 2006 highs. A flood alarm was issued on a total of 528 kilometers of the Danube in Hungary. At Nagymaros the level rose to 5.33 m, in Budapest to 6.96 m. Here, however, an increase to 7.04 m was expected for a short time. In the upper parts of the Danube, the level sank again significantly at this time. In Budapest itself, however, the floods led to the closure of both riverside streets.

Romania

Romania was affected by two events, on the one hand at the beginning of the weather, on June 22nd and 23rd a flood warning was issued for 21 districts , on the other hand on June 29th and 30th on the rivers Buzău (towards Sereth ) and Ialomița in the southern Carpathians .

Serbia

Serbia was also hit by storms with heavy rainfall. The north of the country with the cities of Belgrade and Novi Sad was mainly affected, but Valjevo 90 kilometers southeast of it was also affected .

More storms

Storms followed immediately after this series of floods, although these no longer had any connection with the weather situation mentioned above, but mostly affected the same areas of land.

On the night of July 23rd to 24th, a thunderstorm front, which was caused by the previously prevailing unusually high temperatures, came from Germany via Austria, the Czech Republic and Poland. It was affected by hail and storms and in some cases also by heavy rainfall. In Lower Austria, where such fronts usually dissolve, it strengthened again and the storms broke in on the Vienna area and the city of Vienna itself. This front hit the population completely unprepared, as they did not appear in any of the weather models. Injury and even death were mainly caused by fallen trees. Agriculture was also hit hard by the damage. Large-scale power outages were also recorded. The Austrian insurers speak of damages of 20 million euros in agriculture alone. The Austrian hail insurers even speak of the largest single event in the last 60 years. On July 25th, the fire brigade and the armed forces were busy providing makeshift supplies to the 500 or so damaged houses in Flachgau in order to withstand renewed rainfall.

But also in Poland eight dead and 34 injured by falling trees were recorded. There were also two victims in the Czech Republic. On July 25th the power supply had not yet been completely rebuilt , both in the areas of Liberec and in Eastern Bohemia.
