Stuttgart-Möhringen fights against heat stress in the Probstsese: lack of oxygen and planned sludge to recover of ecosystem.
Alarm in the Probstsee: Fish deaths through heat stress plunges nature into chaos!
The Probstsee in Stuttgart-Möhringen is currently in focus due to a serious lack of oxygen, which was triggered by the continued heat wave and the associated high temperatures and the lack of precipitation. These circumstances have not only led to the burden of the ecosystem, but also to a worrying fish death, such as [news-heute.net] (https://www.nachrichten-heute.net/1398877-nothilfe- stabilized-sauerhalt-im-bobstsee.html).
In response to the critical situation, the city administration takes measures to stabilize the oxygen content in the lake. A coordinated campaign in which the local angler association, the fire brigade and the technical relief organization (THW) have already borne the first fruits. The situation should be defused by using ventilation, spray pumps and the temporary feeding of fresh water.
Current measures for oxygen stabilization
In order to combat acute lack of oxygen, the angler association uses additional fans that are operated around the clock. On Thursday and Friday, four large pumps were activated by the fire brigade and THW, which pump 6,000 liters of water out of the Probsesee per minute in order to then trace it. These measures aim to significantly increase the oxygen concentration in the water, such as [stuttgart.de] (https://www.stuttgart.de/service/aktuelle-mortungen/2025/juni-bobstseein-in-moehringen-leiden-unter-hitzestress-verkunst-akutstofflangele-stadt-ein-ein-euro-zur-zur-zur-zur-zur-zu
The city administration has also started to lead fresh water into the lake in order to further promote stabilization. Despite these measures, numerous fish have already died. The angler association organized the rescue and disposal of the died fish, not without additional support from the city. Information about the fact that the situation seems to improve and that fresh water no longer had to be pumped up on Friday offer a little ray of hope in this difficult time.
long -term perspectives for the Probstsee
In order to find a long -term solution to the problems of the Probstsees, the city is planning a part of the water in the water for this autumn. This measure, for which around one million euros is to be invested, aims to reduce the nutrient content in the water and thus restore the ecological balance of the lake.
The situation on the Probstsee remains critical, and the city administration and the volunteers will continue to monitor the water values with measurement probes. The hope lies on the successful implementation of the measures and normalization of living conditions in the lake, the state of which is pursued by the population and the anglers with awards.
