Halle-Neustadt „Short turnover plantation Lüneburger Bogen“

Renewable raw materials on demolition sites in a large housing estate

Then urban district Halle-Neustadt has lost almost half of its population and the demolition of apartment buildings due to the number of vacancies has resulted in numerous wasteland areas. As an alternative to simply planting, a pilot project on the Lüneburger Bogen has used the wasteland areas belonging to a housing company for a "short turnover plantation", i.e. poplars have been planted, which will be cut down again after a few years and used as renewable raw materials for local energy generation.
