The ecological restoration of the Schweizerbach stream in Weinstadt was a key element in developing the “Green Center” civic park, realized as part of Germany’s “National Urban Development Projects” program. On behalf of A24 Landschaftsarchitektur, we coordinated and supervised the redesign of the streambed on-site.
The goal was to return the stream to a more natural state and make it a vibrant part of the landscape once again. The watercourse was enriched with structurally diverse banks and integrated into a newly contoured, topographically varied landscape. Some sections of the embankment were gently sloped, while others were more steeply shaped and planted with native vegetation—creating diverse habitats for local flora and fauna.
A generously designed footpath now runs alongside the stream, seamlessly integrated into the new riverbank environment. A tiered seating area by the water invites visitors to pause, observe, and enjoy the sights and sounds of the flowing stream. Today, the restored Schweizerbach is not only an ecologically valuable habitat but also an appealing destination for recreation and nature experience for all ages.
