Storm surge protection on Borkum

Storm surge protection Borkum

The flood defence wall runs along Reedestraße and forms a self-contained system with the "black dyke". The flood defence system extends over three areas: the private area, the German Youth Hostel Borkum and the SAR Borkum naval airfield. The main objective of the repair measure was to restore or repair the necessary technical flood protection.
