Residents invited to see draft plans for Schäringerplatz redesign

Residents of all ages are invited to see and discuss early plans for redesigning Schäringerplatz. The city's Building Department (Baureferat) will present its preliminary design on Wednesday 11 November, from 3pm to 7pm, at Café Wohnwerk, Schäringerplatz 13. Children and young people are specifically welcome.

Specialists from the department's horticulture division and from the planning firm commissioned for the project will explain the proposed changes and answer questions. The aim is to work with the public to create a lively, varied green space for play, relaxation and strolling.

The square is currently made up of shade-giving trees, a large lawn, a monument to Prince Regent Luitpold and a playground for young children. Under the plans, the play area will be enlarged.

The central lawn will be kept as an open space for playing and lying in the sun. Additional seating and sun loungers are planned, along with two table tennis tables on the north side of the square.

The venue has only limited step-free and accessible facilities. An interpretation into Easy Read German will be available on site.
