The Oranienpark of Bad Kreuznach

The Oranienpark in Bad Kreuznach

The park was created on the site of a medieval monastery. It is named after Princess Maria of Orange, the wife of the Count Palatine of Zweibrücken, who once lived there. Until 1930, the most beautiful hotel in the city was located there.

The park is designed, at least in parts, according to the Baroque model - symmetrical flower beds and pergolas with blue roses and roses surround a water basin. Part of the park is used by a large miniature golf course. There is also a restaurant. Attached to it is a concert shell. Clearly - this was for the entertainment of the spa guests of the city.

Our project

This is the blog of the GREEN project, an Erasmus+ project funded by the EU. This project involves 5 schools from Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Germany and Spain.

n the course of the project, we will have a closer look on how man's relationship to nature has changed. To do so the project thematically comprises several stages each focussing on a different topic/subject. Beginning with the tamed nature of the parks and gardens in our cities we will later look at various other more future-oriented aspects of the topic such as nature as an energy supplier of the future or the ever-growing use of land for food production.
