Stadtpark Bernau blossomed: over 3,500 summer flowers for relaxation!

Bernau, Deutschland - After the lively Hussite Festival, the city park in Bernau is again in new splendor. Here, a comprehensive rejuvenation cure on the approximately 58,000 square meters of the site is properly tackled. The city's subject area is taking the matter into the hand: employees of the city building yard and a garden service company ensure that the park becomes fit for its visitors again. Garbage, horse apples and straws disappear from the picture and played play equipment will find their place.

But that's not all. Thanks to the Kasper - tree and garden company, visitors can look forward to over 3,500 freshly planted summer flowers. The colorful flowers include student flowers, Salvien and Ziermais. The flowers were selected specifically for insect friendliness, so the park not only stays beautiful, but also attracts numerous butterflies and bees.

The influence of the Hussite Festival

The Hussite Festival has a tradition in Bernau and recently celebrated its 600th anniversary. Since the first celebration in 1882, the event has developed to an important part of cultural life. The festival, which takes place annually on the 2nd weekend in June, attracts numerous visitors and includes an impressive parade as well as a fun fair with rides and culinary treats. After the forced break due to the corona pandemic, the festival took place again in 2022 and enjoyed great popularity.

However, the festival also leaves traces. The lawn now urgently needs rain to recover from the hardships. Unfortunately, regular watering is not always possible for cost reasons. The subject area uses organic fertilizers to strengthen the lawn, which is also applied twice a year. Road trees receive up to 120 liters of water every day to alleviate the effects of dryness. In times of climate change, this is more important than ever to promote the root growth of the trees.

ecological aspects in the city park

The city park not only has a recovery function for the citizens: inside, but also plays an important role in the city nature. Birds need nesting, resting and meeting places, which is guaranteed by hedges, bushes and trees. So that the park visitors remain safe, regular and professional tree control is essential. These security measures are indispensable by climate change and the associated, more common storms.

The cooperation between humans and nature is very important in Bernau. The current nursing measures and the persistent tradition of the Hussite Festival make it clear that the city park serves as a popular recreational place for all generations. It remains to be seen how the park will develop over time and which blooms await us in the next season.
