Flood in Traben-Trarbach: City shows strong reaction and use!

On January 12, 2025, the residents of Traben-Trarbach in the Bernkastel-Wittlich district were confronted with the consequences of a recent flood. According to a report by Wochenspiegel Live emphasizes Jörg Teusch from the construction and service operation of the city (BKI) to remove the mud immediately. "Drying mud becomes firm and resembles concrete, which makes it difficult to remove," says Teusch. In order to counteract this, powerful pumps are used that pump water out of the Moselle to rinse the mud from the streets. In addition, two sweepers support the work by loosening up the mud.

The residents of Traben-Trarbach were grateful for the quick use of the building yard. A resident expressed that the city reacted quickly, which conveyed a positive feeling. This incident illustrates the challenges that cities along the Moselle faces, while protection against floods remains a central task for the Region.

Due to the high water level, no distribution of sandbags was made. The fire brigade informed residents and visitors to remove their vehicles from the Moselle Verfege and empty and open garages. This was particularly important because many people were present in the region due to the extended weekend and continuing tourism. Campsites in the area were also cleared to ensure the safety of visitors.
