Britzer Garden suffers from arson: a loss for our children

Tragic news from Neukölln! The Britzer Garden, formerly a popular place for education and nature experiences, was badly damaged by hideous arson. District Mayor Martin Hikel is shaken and speaks of a "very sad day for Neukölln". Here destruction has taken place that not only affects buildings, but the hearts of those who were involved in the environmental education center every day.

The loss of the environmental education center is not just a material damage. It is an absolute disaster for the children and adolescents in our district who learned how to deal with nature and discovered the exciting world of environmental sciences. Hikel describes the gap that this fire leaves as "unbelievable", and emphasizes that for the teams of the open -air laboratory and the young visitors of this loss, this loss is not easy to compensate for.

unimaginable destruction in the Britzer Garden

The arson has laid large parts of the Britzer Garten in ashes. While the memories of educational days and happy moments fade, only the question of those responsible who have committed this act of senseless destruction remains. Hikel has already contacted the people responsible for the open -air laboratory and the Britzer Garten to coordinate the next steps.

The district does not let the committed teams down! Support will be assured in the coming weeks and months wherever possible. The city administration mobilizes its resources to fix the damage and to set up the educational institution again. Now it is important to fight together for the future of children and adolescents and not to be completely lost their valuable experience with nature.
