Green areas in Tempelhof: Measures for biodiversity and relaxation!

The urban green areas in the cecilia gardens and on the Perelsplatz in Tempelhof-Schöneberg are very stressed and have serious damage. As the Berlin district office , the floors suffer from compression, which significantly impairs the water and nutrient supply of the plants. In order to ensure the regeneration of the lawn and shrub surfaces, the areas are now gradually secured by fences. These measures are to be lifted again in spring 2025.

At the same time, the importance of urban green areas for biodiversity is increasingly recognized, as from a report by City and City and Stadt and Gruen emerges. These areas play a crucial role as a habitat for numerous animal and plant species and contribute to climate adjustment and air pollution control. Despite the challenges of urbanization, it is found that cities often have a higher biodiversity than rural areas. The management of these areas therefore not only has economic, but also enormous ecological responsibility. This includes suitable trees to plants that serve insects and birds as a source of food as well as leaving dead wood that offers a habitat.

These measures to promote biological diversity and the upcoming regeneration work in Tempelhof-Schöneberg are important steps to protect and improve the urban green spaces for both the quality of life of the citizens and for nature.
