New habitat: Stumpergasse becomes the green oasis in Mariahilf!

Stumpergasse 13-17, 1050 Wien, Österreich - In Mariahilf something is happening! At the construction site in Stumpergasse between house numbers 13 and 17, the greenery of the street scene is driven forward. By September, ten new trees and six trunk bushes are to be planted there, such as Gumpendorfer Strasse is renewed. A lock between Kurt-Pint-Platz and Lengasse is also inevitable. Fortunately, the access to the parking spaces remains possible despite the construction site.

intelligent irrigation for the city trees

Another highlight of the project is the installation of an automatic irrigation system that was specially developed in order to supply the newly planted trees and shrubs sufficiently with water. Innovative technology is used: a company from Schwerin delivers the required cisterns made of recycling plastic, while a Rostock technology company develops and programmed the control unit and sensors. This ensures that the plants are well supplied even under dry conditions without relying on external power sources. Sustainability is in the foreground, because the use of rainwater ensures an environmentally friendly irrigation system that works in the circulation and promotes local biodiversity with local tree species.

The efforts to get better irrigation cannot only be found in Mariahilf. Cities worldwide increasingly rely on city greening to increase the quality of life and improve the city climate. According to climate knowledge contribute green areas to reduce noise loads and fine dust. By absorbing pollutants and producing oxygen, these areas not only improve air quality, but also promote biodiversity by offering habitats for numerous plants and animals.

A new meeting point in the Naschpark

Another exciting aspect of construction activities in this area is the new "Naschpark", which will be created in the immediate vicinity of the Naschmarkt. Here a parking space is converted into an attractive green area, where 70 new trees have already been planted. The park will not only serve as a resting place, but also offers seating areas, hammocks, lawn and play equipment, so that it becomes the ideal place for families and relaxation seekers.

The current situation shows how important it is to integrate green areas into our urban planning. While courageous projects are implemented in various cities in Europe to combine urbanity with nature, Vienna, with its current initiatives, is consistently pursuing the way to the climate -friendly city. And who knows: Perhaps Stumpergasse will soon be a model for future greening projects in the federal capital.
