Transient nature of Lübeck's existence
In the heart of Lübeck, the Hanseatic City of northern Germany, an exciting project is underway. The Transition Garden and Transition Square, funded within the framework of the TRANSITION project, aim to transform the greened Koberg and Schrangen into the most beautiful and vibrant spots in the city.
From July 3, the Koberg will be metamorphosed into a green labyrinth called the Transition Garden. Visitors can expect a delightful mix of flowers, fragrant herbs, and summer vegetables, providing a visual feast for the senses. The Transition Garden also boasts numerous seating options, perfect for a relaxing afternoon, and a sandbox with a sunshade, ideal for families with young children.
Meanwhile, the Transition Square at Schrangen is a temporary oasis, in transition until October 3. It features wildflowers, fruit trees, and unique UFO-shaped seating benches, creating a whimsical and inviting atmosphere.
Both spaces are designed to provide meeting and experience places, encouraging visitors to enjoy the summer on the old town island in a relaxed manner. Live performances by street artists will add to the lively ambiance of the Transition Garden, offering a cultural treat for all.
Christian Martin Lukas, LTM Managing Director, expressed hope that many people will discover and enjoy these new spaces. He believes that the project corresponds to citizens' desire for a lively city feeling, urban gardening, sustainability, and improved experience quality in the city centre.
The Transition Square and Transition Garden are funded from the federal program "Future-proof inner cities and centers". This project is part of an overall initiative to renew public spaces, enhance sustainability, and foster community engagement.
For more specific information, local news sources or official city documents from Lübeck would be necessary. However, it is clear that these spaces are set to become beloved additions to the city, offering encounters, street music, and relaxation opportunities for all.
The project is being documented on Google Maps (lübeckverliebt), allowing visitors to explore and plan their visits to these new green spaces in Lübeck.
In the context of the Transition project, the Transition Garden, located at Koberg, will transform into a sustainable living haven from July 3, featuring a blend of flowers, herbs, and vegetables, along with seating options and a sandbox, promoting a harmonious home-and-garden lifestyle. Meanwhile, the Transition Square at Schrangen serves as a temporary home-and-garden oasis until October 3, offering wildflowers, fruit trees, and unique seating, fostering a sustainable living atmosphere.
