Regenrückhaltung Frechen-Ost

What would happen if Frechen-Ost experienced another heavy downpour? Would the streets turn into rivers? That was a worry for Frechen in the past. The existing drainage system, known as “Frechen-Ost,” couldn’t handle heavy rainfall. This is why the Regenrückhaltung Frechen-Ost is so important. Studies showed that the old system was overloaded and prone to flooding. Climate change predictions warned of even more frequent and intense rainfall in the future. To protect its citizens and infrastructure, the city of Frechen decided to take action. The solution? A brand new Regenrückhaltung Frechen-Ost, a modern stormwater retention basin. This crucial piece of engineering, located on the southeastern edge of Frechen, is designed to prevent future flooding. The Regenrückhaltung Frechen-Ost will consist of an overflow structure, an open earth basin, and all the necessary inlet and outlet channels. This new system is not only designed to alleviate the burden on the existing drainage system but also to serve the developing commercial and special zones nearby. Scheduled for completion in 2027, the Regenrückhaltung Frechen-Ost represents a significant investment in the city’s future and demonstrates its commitment to protecting its citizens from the growing threat of extreme weather events.
