New Pergola benches in Gelsenkirchen city center

Many people in the city center of Gelsenkirchen can look forward to an innovative innovation: On Heinrich-König-Platz and on the Neumarkt, three new seating was recently installed, which not only invite you to linger, but also provide pleasant cooling on hot days.

These new Pergola benches have numerous well-thought-out features that offer both comfort and functionality. Sometimes even edible plants grow up on the wooden benches, while sun sails donate extra shadows. In addition, integrated water tanks are available in the benches, collect rainwater and hand over a refreshing water spray buba if desired. By combining shadows, plants and water levers, the temperature in the area can be reduced by up to 12 degrees, which is a noticeable relief, especially on hot days.

The installation of these special benches is the result of a political decision that was made in February. The aim is to prepare the inner city places for heat and to try out various measures for cooling. The Pergola benches should remain until the end of September before the city evaluated to check whether the project should be expanded.
