Future of the lock in Kleve-Brief: decision is made in February!

The future of the listed Briener Schleuse in Kleve remains uncertain. As Antennerrhein , the decision about the further fate of the lock has been delayed. The district government must check the nature conservation report for its topicality in order to ensure legal certainty. In the meantime, the dike association does not expect significant changes in the situation.

The new status of the report is expected to be available in February. The lock is classified as a latent risk in terms of possible flood waters and stability. As early as 2017, the residual time of the lock was estimated at five to ten years. The water and shipping management, which acts as the owner of the lock, is currently developing a new flood protection plan.

As part of this review, a study is made whose costs the ministry pay. The urgency of the planning approval procedure for the dike renovation from Griethausen to Brienen was particularly emphasized. The dismantling of the Briener Schleuse is part of this extensive dike renovation, with flood protection according to Salomon.

context for flood protection

The context of current developments is characterized by the nationwide efforts to be effective. A corresponding regulation on the spatial planning in the federal government, which came into force on September 1, 2021, refers to a cross -country flood protection. This necessity was already agreed in the coalition agreement between the CDU, CSU and SPD 2018. The spatial planning plan was developed in cooperation with the Federal Ministry of the Interior and the Federal Institute for Building, Urban and Spatial Research (BBSR) in order to react to the challenges of flood security.

All necessary documents on the spatial planning plan, such as the environmental report and tables for participation procedures, are available for download. The comprehensive measures at all levels illustrate how seriously the topic of flood protection is taken and what long -term considerations will flow into the future of the Briener Schleuse and the surrounding area.
