State horticultural show Kronach 2002

With the realization of the State Garden Show, Kronach had the opportunity to redevelop an area formerly used for industrial purposes with soil contaminated by contaminated sites and to return it to the citizens as a local recreation area, and at the same time to create ecologically necessary retention space for the rivers Haßlach and Rodach. The requirement to combine the needs of the population and the requirements of water management was achieved by superimposing an intensively and diversely usable park and floodplains. The 1.7 km long green corridor is divided into functionally and creatively clearly readable individual spaces and thematizes the focal points city-park-landscape. The area city garden, the lime promenade, which connects the old town with the city terrace situated at the river; formally designed parterre areas stage urbanity. In the park area, generous meadow areas invite visitors to relax and play and form the quiet antipole to the contrasting, colorful exhibition grounds located on a flood-proof plateau. The transition to the open landscape
is formed by the ecological watercourse development with near-natural wet meadows, nature trails and adventure play areas. The contract comprised all work phases (LPH 1-9) for the entire site including exhibition concept and realisation of numerous exhibition contributions such as the apothecary garden, DAV climbing facility, detailed section of the Gottschalk garden, museum contribution to the slate town, school contribution and a 1.6 km long planetary path.
