Demolition workers in the Ahr Valley on the current construction site / students at the container school / family of five in emergency accommodation in a tiny house.The flood disaster in the Ahr valley was almost a year ago.The destruction is still visible in many places, and reconstruction is always faltering.The exhaustion is noticeable in many local people.Maximilian Gölitzer has a demolition work company in Wiesbaden and tells SWR3 how different it feels to demolish a house there or in the Ahr Valley: "The difference is: things like this are usually planned for months or years.The house is going away because it is being replaced due to age.Here one night was the deciding factor and people lost their entire existence in one fell swoop.That's why the emotional level here in the Ahr Valley is very different than when you work at home.To anyone who asks me if I like working here, I say 'actually no' […] With every termination you have the feeling that you are emotionally taking something away from people that is not yours.” It is easier to earn money at home.The projects are planned for months and it's "just about the houses".In the Ahr Valley you almost become a pastor.About his current construction site, he says that he had discussed in advance with the owner of the house that she should let her know if things were going too fast for her: "I'll turn off the excavator, we'll take a half-hour break, we'll drink coffee, cool down calm.And then we'll see how it goes." He goes on to report: "You also take care of the people.Because the emotional aspect is almost bigger than the work.”The approximately 800 students of the Are-Gymnasium lost their school due to the flood in the Ahr Valley.Since the beginning of the year they have been taught in a container school, in almost 300 containers.These stand on a field on the edge of an industrial area in the municipality of Grafschaft.The house number is: 0. The mint-green construction site containers are stacked on top of one another in long rows.Behind it there are three halls, similar to those known from trade fairs: sports hall, canteen and the science rooms.A student describes the container as follows: "It looks like prison here." But there is also a ray of hope: "The WiFi is terrific."A year after the flood disaster, many people are still living in emergency shelters.384 people alone in the shelters of the Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund.The El-Bayyari family is also among the people in the emergency shelters.Five of them live on 38 square meters.Her current "home" is one of 18 tiny houses that stands on the former parking lot of a swimming pool that was destroyed in the flood disaster.After there was water in the apartment below them in the old house, the mold spread and the children were constantly ill.Elif El-Bayyari says: "The middle one often had pneumonia and spastic bronchitis." The family has been living in the tiny house for five months.“It was like that at first too: there were a lot of people running around here.You felt like you were in the zoo.People walked past here as if it were a walk.Then have a look here.Some have asked if they can peek into the living room.” In the “Tiny Hood”, as she calls the emergency shelter, the mother thinks it's nice that “the children have other children to play with.Because there are so many children living here, they just play outside without making an appointment.One goes out, the other follows.They ride bikes.And if one of them can't, the other can."The SWR3 report "Ahr Valley - Life after the Flood" will be on the radio from June 13th to 17th.The focus of the new "SWR3 Report" series has been available as a full-length podcast since June 13.The "SWR3 Report: Ahr Valley - Life after the Flood" takes on the topic in a special narrative form that is designed for listening to podcasts.The podcast is available on SWR3.de, in the ARD Audiothek and wherever there are podcasts.Quotations free when using the source SWR3.Viewers can find contacts for their questions here.SWR program and company announcements in chronological order according to publication date (descending) more...Detailed press dossiers with image and video material on selected SWR productions.more...To the screening room more...More digital formats, streaming offers and apps: Click here for an overview of the SWR highlights in 2022. more...To ARD photo more...Logos of the company and the programs in print quality as well as various formats as a zip file.more...We have compiled our most important telephone numbers and e-mail addresses for television and radio programs as well as all central services such as reception, guidance, recording, etc. here.more...
