Since the end of 2017, a wastewater project is being implemented in the very heart of the German capital, which is unusual even for a metropolis like Berlin. At a depth down to 12 m, a storage sewer of around 650 m length is currently under construction, directly below the Mauerpark, where part of the Berlin Wall once stood.

They serve to control large masses of water when the...
