High groundwater in Garching: Those affected can now hope for financial help. According to the district office, the city is allowed to provide financial help for those affected.
But the mayor is skeptical. “I’m completely open and honest,” said Dietmar Gruchmann. ‘I would not do that. That causes resentment among the citizens. We are opening a door that has not been opened before.’ The city's solidarity was and is great. It has set up an email address and a hotline that affected older and needy citizens can contact. Clubs and institutions had offered their support.
