Working Together to Overcome Flooding!

In this upcoming Living Lab on flood prevention in the Zweibrücken region, we want to work together with citizens, planners and other interested participants to explore possible solutions.
The region along the Hornbach River is particularly interesting: the river flows through several municipalities and has its source in France. Flooding does not stop at municipal or national borders – which is why we will also discuss cooperation with neighbouring French municipalities.
The focus is on learning by doing: participants will look at different areas along the Hornbach, set priorities in small groups, make planning decisions and develop recommendations. In this interactive format, they will explore how spatial planning can contribute to flood prevention and what role each of us can play.
This event is organised by the Interreg project LATI as part of the UniGR-Center for Border Studies of the University of the Greater Region. The Living Lab takes place as part of Woche der Klimaanpassung 2026 and Interreg Cooperation Day 2026.
