2002
A pilot
“Big Jump” project, the "International
Elbe-Swimming Day” gathered 100.000 people
who celebrated the rediscovery of their River Elbe, a river
that was the most polluted river in Europe in 1989 (Reunification
of Germany).
Hundreds
of actions, from a simple event to the revival of old traditions,
including the reopening of beaches and historical bathing equipments,
took place during this unique project.
The event was created by Roberto Epple from the ERN European
Rivers Network and realized by the Living Elbe project partners
Deutsche Umwelthilfe and Gruner+Jahr.
From the source of the Elbe in the Czech Republic, through Eastern
Germany to the estuary near Hamburg, 55 swimming spots on thousand
kilometres were counted and supervised by more than 200 local
organizing groups.
