Overview
Lisberg wastewater treatment plant serves the municipality of Trabelsdorf in Bavaria, Germany. It treats wastewater for a population of approximately 4,008 people.
The Lisberg wastewater treatment plant is located in the village of Trabelsdorf, part of the Lisberg administrative community in the district of Bamberg, Bavaria, Germany. The plant serves a population of around 4,008 residents, classifying it as a small to medium agglomeration under German and EU regulations. As a German wastewater treatment facility, the plant operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The plant's treatment processes are designed to meet national standards set by the German Waste Water Ordinance (AbwV), ensuring compliance with discharge limits for organic matter, nutrients, and other pollutants. The treated effluent is discharged into a local watercourse that eventually drains into the Main River, a major tributary of the Rhine. The Rhine basin supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in central Europe. The plant plays a key role in protecting the local watershed from nutrient pollution and maintaining water quality in the region.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into a small stream that flows into the Regnitz River, a tributary of the Main River, which ultimately joins the Rhine. The Rhine basin is a densely populated and ecologically significant region, supporting diverse fish species and serving as a migratory route for birds. The plant's treatment helps reduce nutrient loading and protects downstream aquatic habitats from eutrophication.
