The municipality of Argenthal is one of the largest municipalities in Hunsrück, both in terms of population and area, and is connected by the B 50 to the municipalities of Rheinböllen in the northeast and Simmern in the west. The community has about 1,732 inhabitants. Due to the short connection of the four-lane federal road B 50 to the A 61, the infrastructural connection to the conurbations Mainz/Wiesbaden and Koblenz is very good, so that the local community has expanded as a residential community in the last decades. In addition, the local community in conjunction with the surrounding region is an attractive holiday landscape, especially for nature lovers.
In two discussions as well as a site visit in July/August 2010, the requirements of the municipality for the process of the Spielleitplanung were concretized and determined with the responsible persons of the local municipality.
Argenthal is characterised not only by the large area of the municipality but also by a large area within the village. This is characterized by a large number of existing open spaces as well as the central crossing of the Brühlbaches brook. To the north, the village is bordered by the railway line and the adjoining federal highway B 50. Due to the structural characteristics described above, the exercise areas, especially for children, are strongly focused on the inner-city areas. The two additional sports and leisure facilities "sports field with new communication centre" and in particular the "Argenthaler Waldsee" with bathing lake, leisure area and open-air theatre are hardly accessible for children on foot but require a greater mobility and traffic experience with regard to their accessibility.
Therefore, a central local study area and two additional separate functional areas "sports area" and "forest lake" were delineated. The area of the local study area is approximately 790 ha, the sports area is approximately 45 ha and the recreational area of Lake of the Woods is approximately 55 ha.
We prepared the funding applications for the ministries and assisted the local municipality with the application process. In October 2012, we completed the Spielleitplanung and the Municipal Council Argenthal has unanimously adopted the results of the Spielleitplanung.
