Grünoase in Berlin gets "fresh cell cure" for more vitality
The Volkspark Jungfernheide in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf is a popular local recreation area for the residents of the surrounding housing estates and those seeking relaxation from all over the city. The park's green areas have suffered in recent years, but now the area has been given a "fresh cell cure" for more vitality and resistance.
Unique measures for more vitality
The green spaces department of the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district has taken targeted measures in the past two years to restore the vitality of the large meadow in Volkspark Jungfernheide. The renovation measures were loosened up, the water and nutrient balance improved, thereby making the meadow more resistant to stress. The use of plant cubes is an innovative step to advance the sponge city initiatives of the district.
water balance improved thanks to the biochar
Biochar from a cutting edge was incorporated into the ground on more than three hectares to optimize the water balance. The biochar acts similarly to a bog and binds carbon in the soil in the long term, which contributes to increasing the vitality of the meadow. The mushroom crop of the biochar promotes the exchange of water and nutrients between the lawn plants and the coal, which increases the resilience of the plant system.
domestic plants for sustainable development
In addition, location -adapted grasses and lawns were used, which can better cope with the local environmental conditions and can do without artificial irrigation and fertilization. These measures contribute to maintaining the ecological diversity of the Volkspark Jungfernheide and strengthening its value as a protected nature reserve. The project is financed by the funds of the European Fund for Regional Development and the State of Berlin and shows the commitment to a sustainable ecological upgrading of the natural area.
a jewel for relaxation and nature
The Volkspark Jungfernheide is one of the most important parks in Berlin and is a listed building because of its garden artistic and open space -political importance. With its 146 hectares, the park offers a green oasis in the middle of the city. The ongoing renovation measures are aimed at preserving the unique nature of the park and maintaining its attractiveness in the long term.
