The unused half of the park cemetery in Ottobrunn is to be upgraded.

Among other things, through a garden of life.

Ottobrunn

- The park cemetery in Ottobrunn should be more than a place of death and remembrance.

Sabine Klee, who has an affinity for permaculture, presented a concept for the so-called garden of life to the local council, which is intended to fill the unused half of the park cemetery with biodiverse life.

“The whole system is designed so that everything could be a cemetery,” says Sabine Klee.

"But there is not such a great need in the church."

Room for mourning and rest

The idea is to “depict the course of life through the seasons” and to create space for mourning and rest.

For this purpose, Klee has thought of a tour along the existing paths, during which visitors pass various stations: A professional pond construction team is to create a biotope with a long-lasting and self-cleaning pond.

A spiral bed with plants will be home to day and night butterflies.

A flowering area is equipped with flowers that guarantee year-round splendor and attract all kinds of insects with their diversity.

Urn wall should be more beautiful

The urn wall - which has since been replaced by a new one - is to be embellished and used by means of vertical greening.

A raised bed project and community gardens provide the social component and a meeting point and a forest garden with berry bushes, fruit trees, edible climbing plants, herbs and mushrooms is to be created between the trees.

"Life goes on.

Even without loved ones, ”says Sabine Klee.

Parma culture designer had the idea

The permaculture designer in training came into contact with the community through the Agenda 21 environmental action program.

After initially initiating a small community garden for six families on the Watzlik meadow, she approached Mayor Thomas Loderer (CSU) with her idea of ​​a garden in search of new projects.

Sabine Klee presented her ideas to the local council and found fertile ground.

"My concept also fits in with existing ideas in the local council, now it just has to be voted on," she says.

If possible, all of this should then be planned together with citizen groups.

Klee's wish: "To promote the interaction between community and public space."
