Aachen's Holzgraben Welcomes Five New Green Seating Islands

Aachener City has introduced five new green seating islands in the Holzgraben area, enhancing the Dahmen- and Holzgraben neighborhood's sense of renewal and liveliness. The seating islands, part of the 'Innenstadtmorgen' city process, are hoped to attract more visitors and improve the quality of life in the area.

The seating islands, measuring 1.50m x 1.50m each, feature a backrest for comfortable seating and are coated with anti-graffiti material in a gray tone that matches other city furniture. They are high-quality planters made from robust powder-coated steel and Douglas fir wood, with five small fire maple trees and insect-friendly underplanting adding green accents to the shopping street.

The initiative is part of a cross-departmental 'taskforce' effort to improve the neighborhood's attractiveness and quality of life. It is funded 70% by the 'Future-Proofed Cities and Centers' funding program of the state of NRW. Local business owners, such as Horst Recker of 'SONNENTOR', have welcomed the new seating islands and greenery, which enhance the neighborhood and invite people to stay. The 'Zukunftsprozess Innenstadtmorgen' city initiative aims to revitalize the city center, with more information available at www.innenstadt-morgen.de.
