“I’m very scared”
Marco Ramseier (40) from the Chillounge coffee bar next door is a little less optimistic. “I’m very scared because I can imagine how bad it can get,” says the managing director. “I think others are not yet aware of how much water we are likely to face.” During the last major flood in 2005, Mühleplatz was about one meter under water, he recalls.

The fire brigade wants to prevent that this time. Ramseier and the neighboring Beizer therefore have to clear away the garden furniture on Monday evening. Heinz Wegmüller (59) is the head of the regional management body (RFO) of the city of Thun plus and explains this measure: “We have plastic elements that we can fill with water for flood protection. We will set up this across Mühleplatz in the evening. “
