Ravensburg's historical towers: Citizens asked - renovation urgently needed!
Ravensburg, Deutschland - Ravensburg, the city of the towers, faces a monumental challenging task: the preservation of your historical towers and gates! The city administration has stated that many of these architectural treasures urgently need to be renovated. While the building fabric from the 14th and 15th centuries is no longer sustainable, the city is planning to implement a renovation plan with the support of the community foundation that provides for the renovation of a tower or gate every five years. First on the list is the bladder tower, the drainage system of which is completely out of date and lets water penetrate. Ein teures Unterfangen, denn die Kosten werden auf rund eine Million Euro geschätzt, davon will die Bürgerstiftung 300.000 Euro beisteuern, wie SWR reported.
Common commitment to save the heritage
Mayor Daniel Rapp, who emphasizes the urgency of the situation, calls the citizens to participate. "We have to act," he demands, emphasizing the identity that these towers mean for the Ravensburger. The Ravensburg community foundation will draw attention to the donation engagement by promotions at city festivals such as rod festival and the festival of lights. Jens-Martin Schwärzler, chairman of the board of trustees, explains that every donation counts, even small amounts are welcome! The first step in the direction of the renovation is a joint project that should appeal to all Ravensburgers, as well as [Schwäbische] (https://www.schwaebische.de/regional/oberschwaben/ravensburg--tore-und-tuerme-te-in-schlechtem-gand-so-sollen-jetz-jetz-jetz-jetz-jetzen-jetzen-jetzen-jetzen-jetzen-jetzen-jetzen-jetzen-jetzen-jetzen-jetzen-jetzen-jetz- reported.As a reminder: The last comprehensive renovation of a tower took place more than 30 years ago. The planned measures should not only improve the cityscape, but also ensure that the Ravensburger towers and gates continue to remain testimonies of the past and components of local identity. The renovation of the bladder tower begins in 2026, while the lower gate and other towers will follow on the list of priorities. The way to save this valuable heritage now begins - and the city counts on its citizens!
