Margareten turns: The new Barbara Prammer-Park is created!

The Viennese Margaret area receives a significant upgrading: a previously unused, gray square next to the Kettenbrückengasse underground station is converted into an inviting park. With the redesign, a green oasis is to be created on over 1,500 square meters by summer, which includes a total of 14 new trees, spacious grass beds, comfortable seating and even water features. Ulli Sima, the planning city councilor, and the district manager Silvia Jankovic on February 21, 2025 gave the starting signal for this project, which is supposed to set a sign against the earlier heat problems in the area, such as wien.gv.at reported.

environmental protection and attractiveness

The newcomers in the city can be happy, because the new system not only offers a better microclimate, but also a place of encounter for the residents. There is also a unique sandstone wall on the property, which is protected as a natural monument and offers habitat for special plant species. Barbara Prammer was chosen for the naming of the new park, an important politician and first president of the National Council of the Republic of Austria, who lived only a few minutes' walk. This decision is finally confirmed in the Committee on Culture and Science, as mentioned by ullisima.at

But not only green spaces are in the focus of the city. Vienna has also created 63 kilometers of free water access, while many other regions in Austria have privatized the water additives. Especially the redesign of the former Copakagrana into an attractive leisure paradise shows how important the development of the water rooms in the city is. The "Copabeach" now attracts with a sandy beach and gastronomic offer, and the city is already planning to redesign the so -called "Sunken City" in order to create a green, lively stroller mile here too. These initiatives are part of a comprehensive strategy for more environmental friendliness and quality of life in Vienna.
