Planning: attractive seating areas on the banks of the Schwabach
Stand: 03.06.2025
The aim was to create a new recreational area with a high quality of stay in close proximity to the city center.
Enhancing the urban environment
In the coming years, the Nuremberg Water Management Office will be carrying out flood protection measures on the Schwabach (Photo: Press Office rh). The city of Erlangen is planning to create attractive recreational areas for citizens west of the Essenbach bridge directly on the water. The city council gave the green light for this at its May meeting. The administration was commissioned to further develop the open space planning parallel to the planning approval procedure of the water
- to further develop the open space planning and
- examine funding opportunities.
Lord Mayor Florian Janik: "We also want to use the necessary flood protection measures to enhance the urban development of the area. Technical flood protection and urban quality of life do not have to be a contradiction in terms, but can create real added value together."
What is to be done
Stepped seating areas are planned directly on the water - on both sides of the Essenbach bridge. The flood protection walls are to be integrated into the design in such a way that they are barely noticeable. The aim is to create a new recreational area with a high quality of stay in the immediate vicinity of the city center. The individual planning steps are still to be developed and subsequently approved by the city council. The structural implementation is not linked to the flood protection measures. It can take place at a later date and will not delay the necessary flood protection.
