The KompetenzGrün project at Anhalt University of Applied Sciences invites you to guided plant walks on May 30 and June 3, 2026. Project staff will show how near-natural green spaces are created - and what they do for biodiversity, climate and people.

The first walk will take place on May 30, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. in the Bürgergarten Naumburg. The meeting point is the parking lot at Neidschützer Straße 3. The second date is on June 3, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. at the Campus Köthen of Anhalt University of Applied Sciences, Bernburger Straße 55 - meeting point at the entrance to the cafeteria. Both walks last around 90 minutes.

"As a university, we bear responsibility - also for how we design our own spaces," says project team member Carolin Feimer from the Department of Agriculture, Ecotophology and Landscape Development. "With KompetenzGrün, we show that green spaces can be more than just lawns: they are habitats, climate buffers and places of learning at the same time. We also want to encourage others to think differently about their spaces."

Participants get to know selected wild plants, learn which plant species are suitable for near-natural greening and can exchange ideas with the project managers.

About KompetenzGrün

Since 2023, KompetenzGrün has planted several wildflower meadows in the Anhalt-Bitterfeld and Burgenland districts - exclusively with regional seeds and native plants. These are adapted to local conditions and provide food for insects and other animals. The project supports local authorities, companies and private individuals: from site selection to sowing and maintenance. In addition, an online learning platform offers knowledge and further training on all aspects of semi-natural green spaces. The project is part of the federal STARK program, which supports regions undergoing structural change. The long-term goal is to create a regional competence center for green infrastructure - as a model for sustainable landscape development in the former coal-mining areas of Saxony-Anhalt.
