Anyone who visits the website of the State Garden Show in Kirchheim from June 1st can sponsor one of the 400 possible trees or 120 benches.

Of course, this is not suitable for the small purse.

Kirchheim –

For the first time in Kirchheim, it is possible to sponsor trees and 120 benches online at a state garden show.

"We have developed an app with our partner SpaceNet, so we save a lot of paper and are hoping for 560,000 euros," says LGS Managing Director Maximilian Heyland.

Anyone who logs on to the Landesgartenschau (LGS) homepage from June 1st at www.kirchheim2024.de/patenschaften can sponsor one of 400 trees that will be planted from autumn 2022, or a seat that is reserved in time for the start of the event on May 15, 2024.

A bank spot costs from 350 to 2000 euros, tree sponsorships start at 500 euros and go up to 1800 euros.

"We already know that this is not for the small purse," said Mayor Maximilian Böltl (CSU).

But it is a "successful, well-rounded project between the community and a company based in Kirchheim."

Biggest project since Knight Kunibert

This company is SpaceNet AG.

And its board member Sebastian von Bomhard is enthusiastic about the prospect of the state garden show in Kirchheim.

"This event in Kirchheim is the biggest project since the knight Kunibert in 1230", welcomed von Bomhard at the presentation of the new tool with which sponsorships can be taken over online.

As an IT service provider and operator of a high-security data center with a strong connection to the community, SpaceNet AG decided early on to support LGS.

Sponsored trees should be clearly visible

In October 2021, LGS contacted SpaceNet and drew up a catalog of specifications: Easy operation, even for people who do not use the Internet on a daily basis.

Every tree that can be sponsored should be clearly visible with its species, size and location in the 101,000 square meter public park.

"The sponsorship should be easy to process and pay for, everyone automatically receives a donation receipt," explained LGS press spokeswoman Sophia Schreib.

Digital selection makes everything easier than ever

LGS Managing Director Heyland added: "Never in the more than 40-year history of the state garden shows has it been digitally possible and therefore so easy to choose your tree or bench and sponsor it." Each tree or seat with sponsorship receives a uniform one Badge, for companies there is the possibility to include their logo.

Zoom into the terrain possible

The digital platform shows the more than 400 trees and 120 benches that will be in the new town park at their exact location on the site.

"It wasn't that easy at first, just the background of the park with its five spheres, bodies of water, paths and lush vegetation would have meant an extremely large amount of data and thus loading time, especially on mobile devices," said developer Matthias Eigelsberger.

With a few technical tricks you can now zoom into the area or move your location and see immediately which tree or which bench is already taken or still free.

Then select the tree or bench you want with just a few clicks, pay and provide it with a personalized sponsorship plaque.

Kirchheim 2024 GmbH is responsible for planting and caring for the trees, setting up the benches and attaching the plaques.

"We hope that all trees and benches will find a sponsor," said Stephan Keck, Kirchheim's second mayor and chairman of the supervisory board of Kirchheim 2024 GmbH.

Should this succeed, one would take in an amount of 560,000 euros.
