Frankfurt starts new drainage route: noise protection for Darmstadt!
Darmstadt-Dieburg, Deutschland - The topic of aircraft noise concerns many residents in the area of Frankfurt Airport. In order to counteract the increasingly louder complaint, Frankfurt Airport has now taken a decisive change of course. The new deployment route with the name "Cindy S" bypasses the densely populated districts of Arheilgen and Kranichstein and begins, as the FNP has been reported since the 10th. July 2025. The last flight that took the old route at full volume was an Airbus A350 by Ethiopian Airlines (flight ETH707).
The new course of the route now leads between Darmstadt-Wixhausen and Erzhausen in the Darmstadt-Dieburg district. The aim of this change is to reduce the noise pollution for the residents in the north of Darmstadt. So far, the old route has been booting heavily frequented districts, which was not exactly advantageous for the residents. The environmental and neighborhood house as a office of the Forum Airport and region (FFR) has taken responsibility for the noise measurements. These are to be carried out over a period of twelve months, whereby the first results are to be presented in the responsible bodies after six months.
The reactions in the region
The reactions to this change are mostly positive. The Kranichstein district round even celebrated the relocation of the departure route with a "flash mob" and the tinkering of paper pilots. Mayor Barbara Akdeniz, who described the measure as a "milestone" to reduce aircraft noise, can rely on the consent of the population. Nevertheless, there are concerns about how the noise measurements will result and whether the new routes will actually lead to relief.
like the Tagesschau , the new route brings a noise relief for the residents of Arheilzen and Kranichstein, but it could Get new loads in less densely populated areas such as Erzhausen. Michael Kolmer, Environment Director, announced that he knowingly checked the noise measurements in order to assess the actual effect of the changes.
long -term surveillance
The monitoring of aircraft noise is not a news, but this change is particularly closely examined. On the recently defined path, the responsible persons put great hopes that the measurements of the noise situation in and around Darmstadt lead to objective and comprehensible results. The FFR has already examined three alternative routes, and due to the tests, Route B is now being used, which extends between Erzhausen and Darmstadt-Wixhausen.
In addition, mobile noise measurements are planned in various regions such as Erzhausen, Egelsbach and the two parts of the city. The noise stations have been installed in cooperation with the surrounding municipalities to ensure a complete coverage. This is reminiscent of the commitment, which can also be observed in other cities, where permanent flight noise measurements are carried out in the approaches and departure routes, as can be seen on the DetailsOrt Darmstadt-Dieburg, Deutschland Quellen
