Schwentine north bank, Kiel

Since the 1990s, the strip of bank between the Old Schwentine Bridges and the rehabilitation clinic in the west had lain fallow. Formerly used as a ship berth for handling grain and flour, it seemed to be permanently abandoned to decay. The sheet pile wall had been partially damaged by corrosion to such an extent that the back-filled bottom had been washed out through holes in the wall and cavities had formed in the land area. For safety reasons, the shoreline trail, which existed as a trail, had to be closed to the public.
With the sale of the former Holsati Mill property to a private investor, the City continued to secure the rights to use the shoreline. The aim was to reconnect the footpath to the west from
the jetty of the Fördeschifffahrt and the refectory of the University of Applied Sciences to the street An der Holsatiamühle in the area of the restaurant.
With the inclusion of the sub-project in the Urban 11 and "Socially Integrative City" funding programmes, it was possible to renew the section of bank and establish a previously unattained quality of local recreation on the northern
Swentine bank, which had been characterised by mill industry for many decades.
