The flood hits the Altmark

In the last weeks a big flood irrupt all countries next to the river Elbe.

A hard hited region is the Altmark were we are at home... In the western part of the Altmark next to the village Fischbeck a huge dike break happened. The dieke broke
about 100 meters length. Millions of liters water overflowed the countryside.

 

Here we are sitting on top of the city wall in Tangerm�nde. Behinde us the sea named river Elbe.

Here is the flooded harbor of Tangerm�nde.

Normaly it is possible to park cars and walk next to the dock. 

Here we ar on the step of a stairs which is ending an a lot of smelly Elbe water.

Here we are next to the city wall in Tangerm�nde. We want to walk a bit but the path was flooded.

Here is the Rossfurt a city gate net to the harbor in Tangerm�nde.

On the wall we are able to read off how the water was standing days befor we visit Tangerm�nde!

We are so happy that Stendal is save...
