More greenery on the Holländischer Platz campus: package of measures completed on the south campus

Previous lawn areas around the Engineering Sciences 1 building were converted into more species-rich meadow areas. A total of around 1,500 m² was sown with flower mixtures such as "bee meadow" and "wild herb magic" to promote biodiversity and create new habitats for insects.

In front of the Institute of Music, a former gravel area was unsealed and transformed into a flowering area. To this end, around 35 cm of gravel was removed and replaced with a suitable gravel substrate, into which a mixture of perennials was then sown.

A previously unvegetated wall on the central canteen building was planted with climbing plants and ground cover plants. The bed was given a steel edging and will contribute to the design and ecological enhancement of the area in future.

In the diagonal, several tree grates were enlarged and protected against traffic. The extended areas were sown with a mixture of perennials. In addition, a segment of a round bench was installed above a tree slice at the eastern end, creating a new seating area in the open space.

A measure was also implemented in Nora-Platiel-Straße: a previous paved area was unsealed, a tree was replanted and the extended area was planted with perennials.

A total of one new tree and 47 shrubs, including monk's pepper, Malus tschonoskii and rock pear, were planted as part of the measures. In addition, more than 20,000 perennials, flower bulbs and herbs such as oregano, mountain savory and sage were planted.

These measures will reduce sealed surfaces, create new green structures and improve the quality of life on the campus.
