The Thuringian State Office for the Environment, Mining and Nature Conservation (TLUBN, formerly TLUG) has implemented flood protection measures (HWS) on the left bank of the Weiße Elster in the city of Gera. In the Untermhaus district, an HWS wall was erected on Faulenzerweg as an angled retaining wall. Underpinning and support work on the listed buildings of the Hofgut was necessary for its construction. The wall was clad in sandstone and thus integrated into the historical ensemble of the "Hofgut" and Untermhäuser Brücke buildings. Construction work was carried out from February 2015 to March 2016.
In the Heinrichsgrün district, flood defences were built in Tschaikowskistraße and Sebastian-Bach-Straße. The flood protection wall on Tschaikowskistraße was constructed from a sheet pile wall with an attached reinforced concrete wall with mould formwork. On the land side, a green strip with seating is arranged along the HWS wall. A raised bank was created along approx. 200 metres of Sebastian-Bach-Straße using road elevations and angled retaining walls. Construction took place from August 2016 to May 2018.
Flood defences were created to protect both districts from a flood event of the Weiße Elster of HQ100 +5%.
