Margareten is transformed: the new Barbara Prammer Park is being created!
Vienna's Margaret area will receive a significant upgrade: a previously unused, gray space next to the Kettenbrückengasse subway station will be converted into an inviting park. The redesign is intended to create a green oasis of 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 councilor, and the district leader Silvia Jankovic gave the starting signal for this project on February 21, 2025, which is intended to set an example against the previous heat problems in the area wien.gv.at reported.
Environmental protection and attractiveness
The newcomers to the city can be happy because the new facility not only offers a better microclimate, but also a meeting place for local residents. There is also a unique sandstone wall on the property, which is protected as a natural monument and provides a habitat for special plant species. Barbara Prammer, an important politician and first president of the National Council of the Republic of Austria, who lived just a few minutes' walk away, was chosen to name the new park. This decision will be finally confirmed in the Committee for Culture and Science in April, as by ullisima.at mentioned.
But it's not just green spaces that are the focus of the city. Vienna has also created 63 kilometers of free water access, while many other regions in Austria have privatized water access. The redesign of the former CopaKagrana into an attractive leisure paradise in particular shows how important the development of water spaces in the city is. The “CopaBeach” now attracts with its sandy beach and gastronomic offerings, and the city is already planning to redesign the so-called “Sunken City” in order to create a green, lively promenade here too. These initiatives are part of a comprehensive strategy for more environmental friendliness and quality of life in Vienna.
