Ten years Buga: Brandenburg celebrates sporting journey through time with Laura!

Brandenburg an der Havel, Deutschland - On June 17, 2025, a truly sporty event was celebrated in Brandenburg an der Havel. For the tenth time, VfL Brandenburg organized the traditional “Laura” event in connection with the successful Federal Garden Show (Buga) from 2015. The participants covered up to 100 kilometers - running or cycling from Havelberg to Brandenburg an der Havel. The starting shot was given at 8:00 a.m. at the "House of Rivers", where Mayor Mathias Bölt cordially adopted the 17-member group.

The "Laura" participants proudly wore the original Buga shirts from 2015, while a van of the Brandenburg City Sports Association accompanied them in the background. The first stage led the group to Goetheplatz in Rhinow, where a small catering break and a group photo were on the program on the "Arsch -Backenbrunnen". Accompanied by a local guide, the participants enjoyed the beauty of the Havell landscape, past sights such as "Lady Agnes" and the Rathenower Optikpark.

memories of Buga 2015

The Buga 2015, which ended on October 11, 2015, was the first decentralized exhibition of its kind and attracted over 1,050,000 visitors. Under the motto "From Dom to Dom - The Blue Band of the Havel", spectacular gardens and landscapes were presented in Brandenburg an der Havel, Premnitz, Rathenow, Amt Rhinow/Stölln and Havelberg. Over 80 kilometers of the Havel River landscape, this put in the spotlight, which resulted in a noticeable image of image for the region, according to Dr. Dietlind Tiemann, the chairwoman of the Buga purpose association.

The preparations for the Buga lasted six years. With the support of over 50 gardening specialists, an exhibition area of ​​53 hectares with more than 3,500,000 plants, trees and shrubs was designed. The main attractions in the vineyard and the optics park were in Rathenow, while in Havelberg the "House of Rivers" and the flower hall show stood out next to the cathedral district. This diversity is also a reason why such events in horticultural history are very important.

impressions and highlights of the "Laura"

After the first stage, delicious food and refreshing drinks were offered in Rathenow before the group took the last 34 kilometers from there to Brandenburg an der Havel under their feet, accompanied by Lars Heider and Ralph Labuda. Everywhere along the route, the participants were welcomed by the local citizens - especially in Premnitz, where the reception was particularly warm. A last stopover at the ice cream parlor in Pritzerbe caused a refreshing break before the group arrived at the Old Town market in Brandenburg on time at 6:00 p.m.

To celebrate the arrival, Sybille Steinhäuser and Johannes Braun from the sports office with non -alcoholic beer, fresh melon and other drinks were waiting for the athletes. The accompanying vehicle was not used all day, which shows that the event went smoothly and no breakdowns or medical incidents did not result in stately participants. Udo Pfeiffer, the chief organizer, thanked all helpers along the route after the successful event.

This is not only combined by the "Laura", but also brings the memory of Buga to life again in 2015. The idea of ​​the Federal Garden Show is clear: it promotes local identity and presents the green of the region. This tradition will continue in the future, because the next federal garden shows are already planned for 2031 in Wuppertal and 2033 in Dresden. Agriculture and garden culture are deeply rooted in German history, and the Buga remains an important platform for the presentation of gardening art and creative landscape design.
