Last summer, over 300,000 tourists flocked to the quaint Bavarian town of Wassertrüdingen, about two hours north of Munich, not to indulge in beer and schnitzel but to enjoy its public parks. Each year for about four months, the state government holds a garden show, or landesgartenschau, in a different city within this German province. In preparation for the 2019 event—a major undertaking for the small town—Berlin-based landscape architecture firm Planorama expanded and redesigned almost 32 acres of Wassertrüdingen’s parks and land, including—appropriately—several bodies of water (wasser means “water” in German).
“The city’s existing green spaces were partially private, heavily overgrown or built over,” says Katja Erke, associate partner at Planorama, so the team’s design solution added two new public parks to the map, from newly purchased land: Wörnitzpark to the south, along the Wörnitz river (a tributary of the Danube), and Klingenweiherpark to the north.
