Greening offensive on the 6th district: 14 new trees for Mariahilf!

Linke Wienzeile, 1060 Wien, Österreich - in Mariahilf it is high! The greening offensive on the left Wienzeile is in the starting blocks for the final phase. On July 1, the fifth and last stage of the project "Get out of the asphalt" was started, which is now being promoted between the Reinprechtsdorfer Brücke and the Nevillebrücke. According to My district comprises 14 new trees as well as colorful flower beds to increase the quality of stay in the 6th district.

The goal is clear: cooler air for the residents and a more ecological environment. In this context, the selection of plants is particularly important. 14 column bladder trees are planned, which are combined with species -rich green beds with lavender, catnip and red tulips. The Press Vienna emphasizes that these measures contribute to improving the microclimate in the city. Because city green not only has aesthetic advantages, but also acts as a natural air filter that absorbs pollutants and thus improves air quality.

increase in quality of life

"We are concerned about the quality of life of the residents," comments District Chairman Julia Lessacher the initiative. These greening measures not only create new living space for plants and animals, but also improve the living conditions for the local people. And that is not an isolated case: In the first four stages of the project, 43 trees and 22 column bladder trees have already been planted, which the city has provided with over 3,300 new street trees.

"Get out of the asphalt" is a pioneering initiative that should be completed by the end of September 2025. While the work takes place in the construction area, foot traffic remains possible throughout, and a lane for cars will be temporarily available. So the residents can continue to be freely traveling in their quarters.

green retreat in the city

Another highlight are the two new green retreats in the area: the Barbara Prammer-Park is upgraded with 14 new trees and an additional area of ​​600 square meters. In addition, the former parking lot of the Naschmarkt is transformed into a 6,300 square meter large green oasis. These projects are part of a comprehensive urban development, which also focuses on the improvement of biodiversity in urban spaces, as can be seen from the knowledge of Green Kama

With more than 340 "Out of the asphalt" projects in the past five years and a record amount of over 100 million euros, which have been raised for the program "Liveable Climate Pattern City", the city green initiative in Vienna is given outstanding importance.

The expectations are high and the vision of a greener, more livable city is already taking shape. It remains to be seen how the new measures will affect the lifestyle of the Viennese. The fact is: Vienna becomes greener - and this is not only good for nature, but also the people who live here.
