The approx. 20-hectare exhibition site of the State Garden Festival is located in the southeast of the city in the valley of the Löbauer water and extends between Downtown and Mount Löbau in the east. The area is dominated by former industrial land which separated the Downtown District from the eastern parts of the city. The now vacant land is to be developed into a high quality, urban and environmentally significant public space, where a variety of programs and sophisticated horticultural exhibition areas can be seen.
The special features of the landscape are to be consciously worked out, used and integrated. The new space is there to connect different neighbourhoods and urban spaces with the surrounding landscape and provide recreational opportunities for the adjacent residential areas. Within the scope of the architectural ideas and realization competition, the urban space connections were designed to strengthen existing landscape potentials and qualify the former industrial areas as an eventful public open space. The concept for the site is to make a lasting contribution to modern horticulture.
