The Flutmulde Kaditzer flood channel is part of the flood protection in Dresden and rechtselbisch between the districts Kaditz and Mickten located. It was built between 1918 and 1922 on the site of an eroded oxbow river of the Elbe that was flooded during flooding and was considerably widened in 1926/27. The river flows through it as soon as the Elbe level at the Augustus Bridge exceeds 5.50 meters. As a result, the Übigau district becomes an island during floods.

history

This section needs to be revised: the city ​​did not acquire anything here in 1903, the owners were expropriated in 1915!
Please help to improve it , and then remove this flag.

Until 1902, the area of ​​today's flood channel in the southern part of the Elbe arc was an extensive grassland that was used as pasture and was regularly flooded during floods. With the incorporation of Kaditz into Dresden in 1903, the city of Dresden acquired the area and planned a sewage treatment plant, an airfield and two flood basins for flood protection. However, the outbreak of the First World War and a protracted legal battle over the expropriation of the property owners prevented the plans from being carried out. The southern flood channel between Kaditz and Mickten was only built between 1918 and 1922. In some cases, an old Elbarm was used, which absorbed part of the floods during floods. The trough was 2.7 kilometers long and had a bottom width of 40 meters. The embankment of the flood channel was built with stones from the Merkur bastion of the Dresden fortifications . From 1925 to 1927 the channel was widened to a width of 119 meters. In 1927, a 132-meter-long flood channel bridge was built on Sternstrasse in Mickten, using red granite from Meissen . In 1936 a motorway bridge was built, which still spans the flood channel today. When the Elbe floods in 2002 , however, the trough could no longer contain the water masses, which led to the inundation of the Kaditz and Mickten.

Natural monument "semi-dry lawn on the Mickten / Kaditz flood channel"

In the south-facing part of the flood channel, a semi- arid grassland area has been declared a natural monument in accordance with Section 21 of the SächsNatSchG. Occurring plant species are Feldmann scattering , woad and Meadow Sage , the area is also habitat of a partridge population .

Edge development and infrastructure

The eastern part of the flood channel from the Elbe to approximately the motorway bridge belongs entirely to the district of Mickten, the motorway bridge and the part to the west that adjoins the Elbe belongs to the district of Kaditz.

South of the flood channel

The village center of Altmickten is located directly on the flood channel in the southeastern part , with the residential development of Overbeckstraße adjoining to the west. With the construction of the Sternstrasse Bridge in 1926/27, the tram route through the Trachauer and Böcklinstrasse was given up, the tram now ran over these and ended in a coupling point south of the bridge's abutment on Scharfenberger Strasse. From the 1950s until the floods in 2003, this route ran along the flood channel as a single-track route to Washingtonstrasse, where a track loop was laid. This terminal was called Übigau , but was still on Micktener Flur. To the west of Washingtonstrasse there is an industrial area up to the freeway. This was created there after the Dresden-Kaditz airfield was closed in 1926.

The new buildings for the Dresden-Kaditz sewage treatment plant , which was only expanded to this area in 2008 , are located on Kaditzer Flur, west of the motorway . It is the sludge treatment that was rebuilt here, until then there were fields here.

North of the flood channel

Until 1990, there were only fields adjacent to the flood channel to the north, with the exception of the Dresden animal shelter. It was not until 1990 that the first development was carried out, with a hardware store. This was decided by the Lord Mayor of Dresden, Wolfgang Berghofer , before the building law of the GDR was changed in June 1990 ( building planning and licensing ordinance , adapted to the building code ) and such location decisions were no longer possible.

For the urban expansion area between Flutrinne, Autobahn, Rankestrasse, Wächterstrasse and from the residential area Lommatzscher Strasse south-east to the Elbe, Ingolf Roßberg , then Head of Urban Development, carried out an urban design competition in 1992, which the Göttingen office of Jochen Brandi (1933-2005) for decided.

On the basis of the development plan for Kaditz-Mickten developed from this , the buildings between the flood channel and the street An der Flutrinne , which with their property boundaries extend directly to the crest of the flood channel, were built.

The rows of buildings at Flutrinne 9–45 were built by Carsten Lorenzen , Manfred Arlt and Elisabeth and Fritz Barth in 1997/98. As a closed street boundary, they form the backbone of the new development area An der Flutrinne . According to the architecture critic Ingeborg Flagge , the "impressive apartment building" is remarkable . On the street side, according to flag, the long house facade is structured according to a common, vertical rhythm, the top floor zone shows a common, dominant roof overhang. The window shapes, entrance areas, colors and building materials are individually designed. To the rear there is a green area with small one and two family houses. The building is also regarded as a “monument in no man's land”, as over 2,000 apartments were planned in the area adjacent to the north, but some of these have only been realized since 2017.

The building at the Flutrinne 27–37 in turn - as part of these rows of buildings - was completed in 1997 by Manfred Arlt and Elisabeth and Fritz Barth. The row of buildings, according to Ingeborg Flagge, is characterized by a special facade decoration and is reminiscent of the apartment building of the 1930s. On the street side, the facade demonstrates unity and monumentality, the facade decoration is historicizing and uses columns as architectural decoration, for example Egyptian temples were used. A protruding wooden cladding forms the upper end of the building and also serves as weather protection. At the rear, this row of buildings has a glass facade that opens up to the green spaces in the courtyard. Public access to the path on the top of the dike is also located here.

The overall unsatisfactory development prompted the city to realign Jochen Brandi's planning in terms of content and urban development in favor of more living space. The master plan of the architectural office Machleidt from Berlin emerged from a workshop process in 2012. This provides for the development of the area between Lommatzscher Straße and the Kaditzer Flutrinne / Elbe primarily as a dense residential area with four to six-storey perimeter blocks with a high proportion of greenery. The link between development and landscape is to become a trademark of the quarter.

Building of the Sparkassen-Versicherung Sachsen

The building complex An der Flutrinne 12 , on a plot of land facing Flößerstraße, is a two-part office building with a gross floor area of ​​almost 29,500 m², which spans Treidlerstraße with two 25 m long bridges. The architectural design mimics the outline of a ship with its bow facing west. In the middle of the building, a room similar to a ship's bridge rises up. A flying roof rounds off the exterior. The headquarters of Sparkassen-Versicherung Sachsen is located in the building . The building was inaugurated in May 1998 after a two-year construction period.

Roads and bridges

There are currently three bridges crossing the flood channel:

  • The bridge in the course of Sternstrasse was built in 1926/27, was irreparably damaged by the floods in 2002 and replaced by a new building in 2003/04.
  • The Washingtonstrasse bridge was built 1996-1998, until then the Washingtonstrasse led through the flood channel.
  • The motorway bridge was built in 1936 and renewed in the 1990s.

Another bridge for a connecting railway for the companies on Washingtonstrasse was also built in the 1930s and demolished without replacement after the flood of the century in 2003.

The most easterly of the connections through the flood channel is Böcklinstrasse. It was lowered by about 2.10 meters compared to its original location and rebuilt at a height of 2.50 meters above the Dresden Elbe level through the bottom of the flood channel. In this context, as well as in the course of the construction of the bridge on Sternstrasse, tram traffic on this street was also given up.
