Scoop on Those Slick Rooftop Havens Popping Up on the Danube Tower!

Get ready to chillax, Ingolstadt peeps! We're talking about some radical rooftop gardens taking shape high up on the Danube Tower. Ain't that a sight for sore eyes? We had a sneak peek courtesy of Dieter Spreng, senior construction guru at Volksbank Raiffeisenbank Bayern Mitte eG, and landscape mastermind Jens Rossa from Leipzig.

The aesthetic vibes of these roof beaches are as outta-sight as they come! Shiny metal pods, matching the tower's facade, scope things out. Cozy Bankirai wood pads are the perfect place to gaze at nature's wonders. The garden on the 1st floor is employees-only territory! The mix of umbrella-styles pines, hazel trees, and shrubs combines to create a Mediterranean oasis, with soft-hued flowers like foam, Waldsteinia, and Ysander adding a dash of color.

On the 6th floor, things get even more tropical with serviceberry, Tatar maple, and red-osier dogwood joining the party. Up to 80 centimeters of garden soil ensures these babies get the nutrients they need, and a smart irrigation system optimizes water usage. Plus, tension belts keep things in check for a bit longer. Can't wait to kick back and unwind on these green islands! Keep an eye on our site for the latest updates!

P.S. - Need more details about the designs and features of rooftop gardens? Here's the scoop:

  • Design: Roof gardens are accessible via stairs or lifts, with plants selected for their tolerance to wind and sunlight. Structure support is crucial, and features like seating areas, walkways, and themed plantings can enhance visual appeal.
  • Maintenance: Efficient water management systems, regular pest checks, and seasonal upkeep (pruning, fertilizing, and replanting) are essential to keep the rooftop gardens blooming.
