Three new resting places in Günzburg: benches for all generations!
In the city of Günzburg, citizens can look forward to three new breaks! The city administration has installed new benches in heavily frequented places in Birket, which not only invite you to rest, but also help to improve the quality of your stay. The financing of this initiative was made possible by a generous donation of 4,050 euros from Sparkasse Schwaben-Bodensee. Mayor Gerhard Jauernig emphasizes that these benches are particularly beneficial for older citizens, people with walking aids and families with small children.
The freshly installed benches can be found in the following protected locations:
- An der Bushaltestelle „Am Mittleren Stadtbach“
- Entlang des Fußweges an der Riemgrabenallee
- Am Fuß- und Radweg zwischen Tulpen- und Stegerwaldstraße
A place of meeting
Benches are much more than just street furniture - they serve as resting places, places to relax and even as places for observation. In public spaces they fulfill different functions: They become a meeting place, a traffic area, and sometimes also a playground and sports field. The new seating furniture in Günzburg represents a small but nice step towards a lively and inviting urban design that appeals to all generations. As abes-online.com states, the type, number and arrangement of benches should be carefully considered in order to promote mobility and comfort.
Daniel Gastl, CEO of the Sparkasse, emphasizes the commitment to the city community and the importance of such projects to strengthen social contacts. Sitting outdoors supports the community - be it eating together or simply hanging out and being together.
The future of street furniture
The new benches in Günzburg are part of a larger trend that promotes sustainable and attractive design of public spaces. Funding programs not only support the purchase of street furniture such as benches, but also the integration of important elements such as lighting and information systems. This initiative is an example of how public money can be used wisely to create livable and accessible areas that invite people to linger. urbanfurniture.eu tells us more about the need for well-founded concepts and citizen participation in the planning of street furniture.
The new benches are not only functional, but also part of the urban lifestyle. As the city continues to develop, it remains crucial to support such initiatives to improve quality of life and strengthen a sense of community. Perhaps this is the first step towards an even more livable Günzburg, where people enjoy staying and meeting people.
