Darkness in the prince's garden: Why does Sigmaringen stay in the light?

Darkness in the prince's garden: Why does Sigmaringen stay in the light?

In the picturesque Sigmaringen, where the Prince's Garden was once a popular resort, there are worrying developments in terms of lighting. Especially now that the dark season comes closer, the integrated lighting technology in the central city park becomes a explosive topic. Despite the recent renovations, the park stays in the deepest darkness at night.

A look back: Last year the foot and bike path, which forms the visual axis between Hedingen and the castle, became extensively renewed. In this phase one could have expected to ensure adequate lighting. But why didn't you take the necessary steps as part of this work to adequately illuminate the park? This is the central question that many residents ask themselves while they have to navigate through the dark paths with the help of their smartphone flashlight.

The statement of the city

A demand from the city press office did not bring much illuminating. According to their statements, no lighting is currently planned. However, empty pipes were laid that enable retrofitting in the future. At least this should keep the possibility that cables can be laid in the future. Interestingly, the Fürstenhaus has participated in a third in the total cost of the project.

The question of why you have dispensed with immediate lighting remains unanswered. Perhaps there are financial hurdles or other priorities that keep the city administration from taking care of the safety and well -being of the park visitors. However, the concerns of the citizens are great: does it really make sense to leave such a central area of the city in the dark, especially if there is the possibility to change the situation?

A dark chapter in Sigmaringen

The residents are concerned about the current situation. They expect the city to ensure security in their parks. The positive aspects of planning, such as the installation of empty pipes, are overlaid by the current darkness. It remains to be seen when these pipes are actually filled with cables and when the prince's garden can be made more invitingly.

The lights of the prince's garden have not yet been in sight, and while the citizens remain dissatisfied, one thing is certain: The discussion about the lighting will continue until answers and solutions are found. Another important point is the question of the financial possibilities of the city. This is in the context of a continuing financial misery that runs through many projects and directly influences the quality of life of the city dwellers.

An unmistakable problem that cannot be ignored. For further information and possible developments on this topic, looks at www.schwaebische.de .
