Woidke: State Garden Show to Transform Wittenberge's Cityscape
Brandenburg Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke expressed strong confidence in the upcoming State Garden Show (Laga) in Wittenberge during an official visit. Scheduled to open on April 21, 2027, and running for 187 days, the event aims to revitalize the city under the slogan "Blooming city, lively banks." Woidke stated that the Laga will provide sustainable impulses for the city's charisma, permanently alter its urban landscape, and foster community connection. Significant preparations are underway, including the renovation of the historic railway reception building and enhancements to Clara Zetkin Park, such as new water play areas and games. Additionally, the city park's water tower is being expanded into a viewing platform with a new elevator. Most plants for the exhibition have already been planted, and new pathways are being created. Mayor Oliver Hermann described the project as both a great opportunity and a challenge. Public interest appears robust, with 8,000 tickets sold in advance. The administration continues to work diligently to ensure the city is fully prepared for the influx of visitors expected next year.
