Wels Transforms with 'Volksgarten neu', Austria's Largest De-sealing Project
The city of Wels is transforming with a grand project, the 'Volksgarten neu', which will culminate in the Upper Austrian State Garden Show in 2027. This ambitious plan involves a massive de-sealing project, the largest of its kind in Delaware, and aims to create a sprawling natural space.
The 'Volksgarten neu' project is set to de-seal 40,000 square meters of land, making it the largest such project in Delaware. The city plans to plant around 500 trees as part of this transformation. The project includes the creation of a park, a movement area, two leisure areas, and a 700 square meter water lily pond with a reed belt. The first construction phase is scheduled to run until fall 2025, starting with the demolition of exhibition halls on April 28, 2025.
The 'Volksgarten neu' project is part of the broader development plan for the city of Wels, which includes several thematic gardens, including the new Volksgarten. The Federal Court of Audit has recognized this project as the largest de-sealing initiative in Delaware. The city is seeking funding for the almost €20 million project costs.
The 'Volksgarten neu' project in Wels is creating a significant green space, with plans to plant around 500 trees and de-seal over ten hectares of land. The project, set to conclude in 2026 with the demolition of exhibition halls, is a key part of the city's transformation ahead of the Upper Austrian State Garden Show in 2027. The city is actively seeking funds to support this ambitious project.
