Wartburgplatz in Walle: a new blooming life for the square!

With fresh wind and a hint of green, the Wartburgplatz in Bremen-Walle is approaching. The place, which has been perceived rather unattractive since its renovation in 2011, is now being granted gradually. Local residents and market visitors have discovered a new flair and a lively meeting point after the recent redesign. The opportunity to do so was provided during a market day on which a mobile planting bed was set up with a decorative apple tree and herbs. This initiative, which was primarily promoted by the Waller Advisory Board, aims to make the space not only green, but also more inviting. Another step are the newly positioned benches, which offer older people in particular the opportunity to linger outdoors.

Since the renovation, the square has been a place of transit, but rarely one of the lingering. "We have made it our task to help the Wartburgplatz to live again," explains Leon Czyborr, an employee of the local office. The positive response from market visitors and feeders reinforced the members of the Waller Advisory Board in their project. Advisory spokeswoman Brigitte Grziwa-Pohlmann (SPD) is enthusiastic about the progress, and Franz Roskosch from the CDU parliamentary group also expresses the desire for further beautification, because the citizens want a more active participation.

a place for everyone

The redesign of the Wartburgplatz is also an example of the growing interest in Urban Gardening. Such projects not only promote local self -sufficiency, but also bring people together who want to share their experiences in plants and gardeners. This creates retreats and increases the quality of life in the urban environment. "Urban Gardening can help beautify the residential area and strengthen the feeling of community," emphasizes a resident. Network Sustainability also emphasizes the positive effects on nature and climate protection.

The Waller Quartiermeisterei has already agreed to take care of the maintenance of the new planting bed. According to reports, discussions are already underway to search for sponsors that want to take care of the bed. "It is nice to see how interest in our community is growing," continued a resident.

A look outside the box

The Wartburgplatz in Berlin, an example of an inner -city green area, has experienced similar things since its design in 1902. Today it is a popular meeting place for residents and offers a variety of ways to enjoy nature in urban space. While the Berlin Wartburgplatz impresses with a playground and cultural institutions such as the cultural center "The White Rose", the focus in Bremen is more on the creation of new meeting places and green spaces that are supposed to promote cooperation. Wikipedia describes the history and development of this place, whose name goes back to Martin Luther and which is located in a similarly urban area as Wartburgplatz in Bremen.
