The green slopes fulfill important functions
“In a city that is exposed to enormous settlement pressure and whose inner city also has to cope with high climatic loads, the inner-city 'green slopes' fulfill important functions in Freising,” the jury said: “The focus was on the challenge, the important green slope edges - which shape the cityscape and the city's ecology - are to be preserved, which are more and more threatened by increasing overbuilding. ”After recording, analyzing and evaluating the initial situation, the two teams succeeded in planning with mission statements, goals and principles develop in order to maintain and further develop the characteristic slope edges ”.
Good for climate and flood protection
The actual planning took place in a joint process of the commissioned offices, the city council and the city administration and, above all, with the intensive involvement of the population.
For interior development, the city of Freising and its citizens now have an exemplary set of instruments to maintain and promote existing urban planning qualities and at the same time make a significant contribution to the quality of stay in the city as well as to the climate and climate with the multifunctional open spaces "green slopes" To provide flood protection.
"With the detailed investigation, a tried and tested basis has been created to ensure the urban quality of the green slope edges in the long term," emphasizes city architect Barbara Schelle.
Right now in focus: the edge of the slope above the Alte Poststrasse
Currently, one of the first measures to implement the study is the development plan No. 157 “Green slope - Alte Poststraße”. The aim and purpose is to preserve, supplement and long-term safeguarding of the widely perceptible slope edge on the southern Lankesberg above the Alte Poststraße, which is characterized by trees and shrubs typical of the location. Due to its visual, nature conservation and climatic quality, this area is particularly worthy of protection. A site-appropriate vegetation on the slopes is an effective protection against erosion in heavy rain and an important component as a precaution for climate adaptation. Another implementation measure that is currently being developed is securing the ravines.These unique cultural and historical testimonies have a special ecological and urban climatic significance and form a habitat for a variety of animals and plants that no longer occur on the largely built-up and intensively used areas.
