Future for Triers Allenring: New climate project starts!
Trier, Deutschland - The city of Trier faces an important challenge: the avenue ring, a historical, green belt around the city center, is not only a popular local recreation area, but also an essential part of urban climate protection. But many of the trees there are damaged, a fact that is reinforced by noise and heat, such as 5vier . In order to counteract this problem, the environmental and traffic director Dr. Thilo Becker launched the “Klimaraum Allenring” project that aims to equip this area ecologically and functionally for the future.
The concept is part of a comprehensive federal program that is funded at 4.9 million euros, with up to 85 percent of them come from federal funds. The funding is part of the project "Adjustment of urban and rural areas to climate change" and shows how seriously the situation is taken on site. Because the data show urgently: almost 40 percent of the trees are at risk from heat and drought, and Trier is one of the regions in Germany that suffer the most from the consequences of climate change.
New concept for sustainable urban development
The focus is on many measures that aim to adapt the avenue ring climatically and to promote biodiversity. This includes the sealing of parking areas, the collection of rainwater for irrigation and the introduction of smart infrastructure, such as automated irrigation systems. In addition, climate -tolerant plants and insect -friendly planting are to be selected, which will significantly improve the quality of stay. The first structural steps are planned for 2027, with a prioritization for the Northern Allee between Central Station and Porta Nigra.
The city has also awarded a European competition for landscape architecture to develop innovative concepts for the avenue ring. The suggestions from the population flow significantly into the planning. From July 4th to 13th, 2025, an online survey on citizen participation will also be carried out in which citizens can bring in their opinions.
Citizens' Dialogue and participation
An important date for everyone interested is the citizens' dialogue on July 4th in the Rococo Hall (Electoral Palace). Here, up to 80 guests can discuss in four themed groups and bring their ideas into how the Allen Ring should be used and designed in the future. The dialogue will deal with topics such as climate and nature, history, transport and use as well as space and networking. The results of the workshop will be presented publicly from 6 p.m. and participation is free of charge-however, registration by email is required.
The city of Trier is therefore based on a transparent and including planning style. Because only with good cooperation can the avenue ring as a green lung of the city can be secured sustainably. In view of the increasing temperatures and the associated challenges of climate change, it is more important than ever to act now. The forecasts show that the city not only preserves a cool head, but also has to develop a green thumb to cope with the ecological problems.
With the implementation of the “Klimaraum Allenring” project, Trier not only wants to encounter the challenges of climate change, but also increase the quality of life for all citizens. In harmony with the goals from the funding program, the all-belt will not only be a nice place to linger, but also make an important part to combat the climatic challenges, as it is DetailsOrt Trier, Deutschland Quellen
