Abstract
A flood hazard implies a hindrance for urban and social development, especially since a further increase of event frequency and intensity due to climate change can be assumed. Traditional flood protection measures are partly disputed for small-scale areas and large construction heights, as they are difficult to integrate into the local and landscape appearance. In the search for suitable and sustainable alternative measures, which increase the resilience of the area at the same time, the present study focuses on house lifting as an area-related flood protection measure. The aim was to develop a corresponding solution approach and to evaluate it in an interdisciplinary way. The Elbe village of Brockwitz (municipality of Coswig, Saxony, Germany) serves as an example, on the basis of which positive effects for house lifting are demonstrated.

Acknowledgements
The presented work was part of the joint research project ‘House lifting in flood-prone areas based on the example of the Elbe village Brockwitz’ (in German: Haushebung in Ueberschwemmungsgebieten am Beispiel des Elbe Dorfes Brockwitz, HUeBro). There was an interdisciplinary cooperation with the scientific institutions of
• Institute of Hydraulic Engineering and Water Resources Management (IWWN), Technische Hochschule Nürnberg (Nuremberg Institute of Technology, lead partner)
• Institute of Hydrology and Meteorology (IWH), TU Dresden
• Institute of architectural history, architectural theory, and historic preservation, TU Dresden
• Detmolder Schule für Architektur und Innenarchitektur, University of Applied Sciences and Arts Ostwestfalen-Lippe.
Furthermore, it includes the concept to evaluate the results with a holistic view of a sustainable and resilient development. The concept represents the basis for the common assessment of the overall project results together with all project partners.
The joint project was funded by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, and Nuclear Safety (BMU) based on a decision of the German Federal Parliament (FKZ: 03DAS104ABCDE). It is integrated into the program ‘Adaptation to Climate Change’ with emphasis on beacon projects of municipalities. We thank the Federal Ministry for the financial support and the City of Coswig for their comprehensive and active engagement. The access to archival materials and information to the study area, as well as establishing contacts to responsible authorities and professional experts have been very valuable for the success of the work.
The sections regarding environmental and nature conservation aspects are based on a technical report written by Jörg Lorenz, Marco Neubert and Juliane Mathey (all IOER).
