Renaturation of the Brigach: Natural paradise in Villingen is created!

In Villingen, a pioneering ecological project for the renaturation of the Brigach begins, which starts with the first phase of construction in May 2025. Not only is the river upgraded ecologically, but also a modern and natural motorhome parking space is built. The city administration will present this forward -looking project on Tuesday, December 10th, in a meeting of the technical committee, as the reported.

At the moment, intensive renovation measures are already taking place in the Brigach. Construction work is carried out in the immediate vicinity of the train station. An orange excavator ensures that the Brigach is redesigned close to nature. This includes introducing groyne, interference stones and natural fish underground stands, which not only increase the water level, but should also ensure a diverse flow situation. These measures are important in order to create different habitats for the water organisms, as indicated in

The work that costs around 30,000 euros should be completed by the beginning of August 2025 and form the end of the redesign of an important level. The measures should not only improve the quality of life of the river residents such as trout and gravity, but also reduce the flood risk for the residents. Due to the creation of deep pelvis and different fluid speeds, the Brigach is transformed into a more diverse and natural habitat.
