Stadtgarten for Future - Climate change meets historic park!

The historic city garden in Cologne is facing major challenges: Periods of drought, hurricanes and heavy rainfall have claimed the lives of numerous venerable trees in recent years. This event will shed light on the effects of climate change on the Stadtgarten and discuss ways to make the park sustainable and resilient. Renowned experts, including Melanie Ihlenfeld from the Cologne Parks Department and Dr. Josef Tumbrinck from the NRW Ministry of the Environment, will analyze how future plantings can be designed. Christoph Michels from the German Dendrological Society and Tobias Lauterbach from the LVR Office for Monument Preservation will offer insights into aspects of monument preservation. The event will provide space for discussions on sustainable compensation areas and the preservation of the park as a recreational and educational site. The final guided tour at 3 p.m. offers a practical discussion of the topic.
