Dike Association Hodenhagen Struggles Amid High Water Events, Excluded from Crisis Talks
The Dyke Association Hodenhagen has faced challenges during recent high water events. Despite its concerns, the association was partially excluded from crisis talks. Meanwhile, the district administration maintains good communication, and a solution for the Meiße dyke is under consideration.
The NLWKN has not included the stable Meiße dykes in its calculations due to formal-juridical issues. The Dyke Association Hodenhagen has criticised the lack of improvement along the Hodenhagen dykes, with no signs of change in sight.
The Lower Saxony Ministry of the Environment partially excluded the association from consultations during the crisis. A lock for the Meiße is proposed to prevent the Aller from pressing into the Meiße and to pump Meiße water into the Aller during extreme high water. This project is estimated to cost around four to five million euros and take about three years to complete.
Several dyke associations, including the DV Hodenhagen, were not legally founded after 1990 and must dissolve to be legally refounded.

While a lock for the Meiße is proposed, there's no immediate improvement along the Hodenhagen dykes. Dyke associations must dissolve and refound to comply with legal requirements.
