The Sudheim flood retention basin is a flood retention basin (HRB) of the Upper Lippe Water Association (WOL) on the Sauer near Lichtenau ( Paderborn district , North Rhine-Westphalia ) and belongs to the catchment area of the Lippe and Rhine .

As a “green basin”, in which there is normally no water, it serves to protect Lichtenau and the villages below it from flooding .

Geographical location

The flood retention basin is located in the Teutoburg Forest / Eggegebirge Nature Park on the Paderborn plateau on the Sauer. It is located above the Lichtenau core town in the Sauertal nature reserve (NSG no. 319051), which has existed since 2000 and is around 927 hectares in size. Its dam is located around 1.4 km southeast of the south-eastern exit of the village ( Sudheimer Weg ) with the Sudheim estate there and about the same distance to the west-northwest of the confluence (approx.  305  m above sea  level ) of the Kleinenberg creek into the Sauer. The federal road 68 (in the Lichtenau– Kleinenberg section ) in the east and the district road  25 (in the Lichtenau– Holtheim section ) in the west pass by a little further .

history

Because the Sauer often leads to strong floods , such as between July 15 and 17, 1965 during the Heinrichsflut , and flooded large parts of the neighboring villages, a flood retention basin was built on its upper course above Lichtenau or from Gut Sudheim , the excess sour water is recording: The dam began in 1978 and ended in 1980. The commissioning took place after completion of sample storage 1,981th

In addition to the HRB Sudheim, the HRB Ebbinghausen was built on the Sauerunterlauf and the HRB Husen-Dalheim at its confluence with the Altenau .

Dam with outlet structure

The dam , whose crown height is 311.57  m , is about 400 m long and 12.5 m (above the valley floor) or 13.30 m (above the foundation floor ) and 5 m wide at its crown . It consists of a bed of rock with a clay core and its slope is 1: 2 to 1: 2.5 on the air side and 1: 3 on the water side .

An approximately 58 m long outlet structure made of reinforced concrete with a diameter of 1.4 m and a flood relief system was integrated into the dam , which can let through up to 31.0 m³ / s; the output at the bottom outlet is 8 m³ / s. At the foot of the dam on the air side, an operating building with monitoring and control devices was erected near the outlet structure.

Flood retention basin

The dam has 3,408,000 m³ total and flood control room m³, in a normal memory space of 2,511,000. The design flood is 74.1 m³ / s. The storage space is designed for a rainfall or catchment area of around 32.83 km² . The storage target is exactly 309  m above sea level and the highest storage target (a flood that occurs on average once every 1,000 years) is 310.15  m . The flooded area is 72.07 ha for the storage target and 82.75 ha for the highest storage target.

Work on rivers and infrastructure

During the construction of the dam, the section of the river Sauer located in the dam area was designed as an underground canal leading through the dam. In addition, the access road to the parking lot at the company building and a few walking, hiking and control paths, one of which also leads over the dam, were created.
