The event attracted numerous participants, including district councilor for urban development and facility management, Eva Majewski , as well as Christian Petermann , the group leader of the Senate Department for Urban Development, Building and Living. Your presence underlines the importance of this measure not only for the park itself, but also for the entire neighborhood. Such projects promote social cohesion and contribute to a positive sense of community.

The celebration began at 2:00 p.m. with a warm greeting of the guests of honor, followed by the symbolic groundbreaking ceremony at 2:15 p.m. , which was used for press photos. The musical performance of the ensemble Soulshop II of the Leo Kestenberg Music School, under the direction of Martina Gebhardt , created a happy mood during the event.

Not just the official speeches and the symbolic action were on the program. From 2:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. , visitors had the opportunity to get together with a neighborhood picnic. With coffee and cake on picnic ceilings, they were able to exchange ideas, play chess or simply enjoy the relaxed atmosphere. Such opportunities are crucial to strengthen the neighborhood and promote social exchange.

The commissioned landscape architecture firm Werner gave those present an overview of the planned measures to upgrade the rose garden.

The renovation of the rose garden is not just a construction measure, but an expression of appreciation for public spaces that serve people.

A lively rose garden can serve as a place of encounter and relaxation for both long -established and new residents.

Overall, the event reflects the positive development of the Francke Park and is an encouraging sign for similar projects in other parts of the city. The hope is that with the upcoming improvements not only the beauty of the rose garden, but also the sense of community can continue to bloom.
