Grand opening and handover of the public park in the VIERZIG549 complex
The project company, consisting of DIE WOHNKOMPANIE NRW and Bauwens Development, today celebrated the grand opening of the new public park in the VIERZIG549 complex in Düsseldorf-Heerdt together with numerous guests and local residents.the new urban space covers around 3,600 square meters and offers a wide range of recreational and leisure activities.
The new urban space covers around 3,600 square meters and offers a wide range of opportunities for recreation, play, and socializing. A special highlight is the 640-square-meter sand play area with the "Dolphin School" – a play equipment ensemble specifically designed for different age groups (3, 4, and 5 years and older). A further 2,240 square meters of lawn and play area are available for sports, leisure, and relaxation. Around 23 trees have been planted to create a pleasant microclimate and a natural atmosphere. The boules courts complement the range of communal activities on offer, allowing residents and visitors alike to enjoy an urban feel-good atmosphere.
Jochen Kral, Deputy Mayor of Düsseldorf and Head of the Department of Mobility and Environment, welcomed those present at the start of the event and emphasized the importance of green infrastructure for a livable city: "With the new green space in the heart of the new complex, a place is growing that is more than just a scenic accent – the 3,600 square meter area is a place that will connect future generations, with a playground, boules court, and lots of green space. In urban apartment complexes, a place like this where people can meet and slow down is a real gift. I am therefore all the more delighted that this place will be handed over to the state capital Düsseldorf as a public green space."
Katrin Eming, Managing Director of DIE WOHNKOMPANIE NRW GmbH, and Matthias Terfrüchte, Division Manager at Bauwens Development GmbH & Co. KG, then addressed the guests with a few words of welcome. The symbolic handover of the new green space marked the official highlight of the celebration. Afterwards, visitors took the opportunity to chat over snacks and cool drinks.
Katrin Eming, Managing Director of DIE WOHNKOMPANIE NRW, said in her welcoming speech: "With the central and spacious park, we have reached another very important milestone in the development of our VIERZIG549 neighborhood, as the green spaces and play and leisure facilities will ensure the desired quality of life and leisure time. We are delighted for the residents who have already moved in and for future users."
Matthias Terfrüchte, Division Manager at Bauwens Development, added: "With the opening of the new urban green space, we are creating a lively meeting place for the neighborhood and making an important contribution to sustainable urban development. Our goal is to design places that connect people and ensure quality of life in the long term."
Special thanks go to LILL + SPARLA landscape architects from Cologne, who drew up the final design plans and contributed significantly to the implementation of the playground and green spaces.
