Visit the cooling plaza any time
The Quartierspark in Lincoln-Siedlung (Einsteinstraße area) is open to the public year-round. The 19-tree upgrade will be completed by autumn 2026. Residents and visitors can rest on benches, children can play, and the shade reduces surface temps by up to 5 °C. A model of how sponge-city design invites community, not just manages water.
