Open space planning for the Jeetzel riverbank, Amtsgarten park and old cemetery | Lüchow
Recognition
Along Lange Straße, the Amtsgarten, Alter Friedhof and Jeetzelufer form a continuous sequence of inner-city green spaces. A barrier-free path system connects the areas, uniform furnishings provide orientation, and the different landscape characters create diverse atmospheres. Historical, social and ecological qualities are linked, biodiversity is strengthened and new places for encounters and local recreation are created.
The listed Amtsgarten is carefully enhanced with additional paths, recreational and experiential floodplain areas and other elements.
New paths, a small square with a fountain, a sculpture garden and ecological peripheral zones complement the Old Cemetery as a peaceful place of remembrance.
On the banks of the Jeetzel, the river is being integrated more closely into city life with seating steps, wooden decks, barrier-free access and canoe moorings, while planting, flowering meadows and tree-free dyke areas ensure flood protection and ecological functions.
