Civic Park – Grüne Mitte Weinstadt

The civic park, a landscape area known as the “Green T”, will become Grüne Mitte Weinstadt (Green Centre of Weinstadt) and connect the five villages along the Rems River. The area of the future park is already endowed with considerable character – agricultural cultivation areas, gardens and orchards, streams and views of the vineyards. Creating an inner-city recreation area will require strengthening and complementing it while pooling a range of different user demands.

The renaturated watercourse of the civic park’s Schweizerbach is one of the main attractions: A spacious path along the stream makes it effortless to experience the charming waterscape. The banks are partly flattened and planted with near-natural riparian groves while the watercourse is slightly invigorated. Individual access points lead directly to the stream, encouraging a sensory experience of the water.

The park bistro and a playground form the literal and figurative heart of the new civic park. The large pergola of the central pavilion provides shade while creating a meeting place for the residents from the various villages.
