abstract: Adequate adaptation to climate change is crucial for those consequences that can no longer be prevented, such as the increasing risk of flooding in the future. As resistance towards flooding is seen 
as inadequate in dealing with the growing threat, a transition from the traditional flood approach towards FRM is thematizes in the literature. In addition to the probability, the possible consequences are also taken into account and are related to the term 'flood-resilience'. This is defined in more detail by the three key dimension (robustness, adaptability, and transformability).
Thereby, this thesis focuses on case study research within the research areas of Bremen and Hamburg that are affected by increasing coastal and fluvial floodings and characterized by the FRM-Agenda in Germany since 2009. Here, different implemented design-strategies in dealing with possible flooding events are identified and described in detail.
The results indicate the 5 different design-strategies `No response`, `Advance`, `Protection`, Accommodation` and `Ecosystem-based adaption`, that are linked to different FRM-strategies depending on the context and are characterized by several barriers. These relates mainly to effects of the limited transferability of adapted measures and are characterized by aspects of path-dependency in the larger setting. Subsequently, the results of the case study will be more closely related to the key dimensions of flood resilience in a broader view and aspects between theory and practice are discussed. The thesis concludes with six final recommendation and a future outlook.
