During the August floods of the Elbe in 2002 and the June floods in 2013, the planning area with the Elster, Iserbegka and Listerfehrda districts was affected by flooding on a large scale. Flooding was caused both by the Elbe, which was in flood, and by backwater from the backwaters such as the Schwarze Elster, the Zugbach and the Wiesenbach.
The work began with a study covering all HOAI service phases as general planner up to the submission of the approval document for the entire approx. 6.5 km long section in March 2008. The planning approval decision was issued in December 2011. On this basis, the construction work was realised in four separate construction phases between 2013 and 2017.
