Wittenberge is investing 2.45 million euros for the State Garden Show 2027!

Wittenberge, Deutschland - Wittenberge receives an important thrust for the upcoming state garden show 2027. The city was recently given 2.45 million euros in funding, which was handed over by the Brandenburg Minister of Agriculture Hanka Mittelstädt (SPD) to Mayor Oliver Hermann (independent). These financial resources come from the so-called leader funding and are intended to support the redesigns as part of the garden show, which also focus on the city's sustainability and quality of life.

The planned changes in Wittenberge include the redesign of the park on the Schwanenteich, the new bank areas, a bridge system and an event area for a mobile stage. In addition, including play and movement offers are planned to increase the attractiveness of the park. In addition, investments are made in the "Herrenwiesengrund" allotment garden system, where vacant plots are redesigned and adapted to climate change.

city park and citizen participation in the focus

The commitment of Mayor Hermann is supported by the minister, who emphasizes the importance of allotment gardens for biodiversity and the creation of open spaces in rural areas. Mayor Hermann said that a large part of the investments have now been secured by the transfer of funding. The construction work for the garden show has already started and the city park has been largely closed. Comprehensive modernizations are planned here, including barrier -free paths, light installations and new seating as well as five natural playgrounds.

For the redesign of the adjacent Clara-Zetkin park, the work is expected to begin in August 2025. The entire project is part of the sustainable urban development, which Wittenberge should position as a place with a high standard of living. The State Garden Show pursues the guideline, existing inner -city green spaces to further develop resource -friendly instead of creating new parks. This should increase the quality of life of the residents permanently.

important events and citizen participation

Citizen participation plays a central role in the garden show. Mayor Dr. Oliver Hermann emphasizes the potential of the event for the positive development of the region. The following important events are documented in the chronicle of the preparation:

  • 04/2021: Expression of will for the State Garden Show.

The State Garden Show will not only enrich the city itself, but also make a contribution to sustainable urban development, which is funded by the Ministry of Infrastructure and State Planning. This support is carried out as part of a program that is equipped with a total of 80 million euros from the European Fund for Regional Development (EFRE), whereby projects for social and cultural infrastructure can be promoted with special attention to the central locations of the region.

The ongoing success of the preparations shows the clear commitment of the city administration and the ministry to bring Wittenberge to a positive development course. The State Garden Show 2027 is seen as a milestone in city history that not only strengthens local resources, but also integrates and stimulates the community.
