Facts
- Transitions from settlement areas into the countryside C
- Marking of boundary situations
- Size and appearance based on surroundings
- A total of 35 gates
The gates are planned in particular at the narrow points where the increasing settlement pressure is particularly evident. Here, the continuous landscape band of the Green C is in danger of being interrupted by buildings that are rapidly growing towards each other. In the true sense of the word, the bottlenecks are opposite edges with a more or less wide space in between. This intermediate space is to be secured by strengthening the edges.
Every door has the same basic design,
yet its size and appearance are oriented
to its surroundings.
If required, the gates, which also vary in size from S to XL to suit their location, can also take on functions for "play and leisure". The access points on the left bank of the Rhine should be planted with cultivated trees (mulberry, medlar, quince, walnut, etc.), while trees from the floodplain area (willow, alder, ash, etc.) should be used on the right bank.
In addition to marking important access points, the gates are also suitable as information carriers. At each gate there is an information board with information about the adjacent country and village and the Green C.
