Garden reconstruction: NRW Foundation backs pergola restoration project
The North Rhine-Westphalia Foundation, established in 1986, is lending a helping hand in the renovation of a significant architectural gem in Solingen's Botanical Garden. The pergola, built from local woods and supported by hand-carved Eifel sandstone columns, has been damaged by wind and weather to an extent that safety could no longer be guaranteed, leading to its dismantling.
The foundation's website, www.nrw-stiftung.de, provides information about its work, including over 3,700 nature and culture projects it has funded. However, the specific funding for the pergola's renovation in Solingen's Botanical Garden has not been explicitly mentioned in the available information.
Despite this, the undamaged sandstone columns make renovating the pergola worthwhile. Once renovated, the pergola will once again serve visitors for a nature experience, providing shade on sunny days, and inviting them to stroll centrally located between the showhouses and the flower gardens.
It is important to note that the North Rhine-Westphalia Foundation's funding is primarily for nature and culture projects, not specifically for botanical gardens or pergolas. In the past, the foundation has provided funding for the renovation of a greenhouse in the Botanical Garden Solingen, but there are no search results available that provide information about who financed the reconstruction project of the damaged pergola or when the project was decided.
The Botanical Garden in Solingen, a green oasis for the city, was established in 1963. Information about the foundation's work can also be found in the podcast "Förderbande". The foundation receives funding from the state of NRW, lottery proceeds, membership fees, and donations.
The decision for funding the pergola's renovation was made by the foundation's board in its last meeting, with a potential funding of up to 40,000 euros. The foundation's support is a testament to its commitment to preserving and enhancing cultural and natural heritage in North Rhine-Westphalia.
While the specifics of the funding for the pergola's renovation may not be clear at this time, the collaboration between the North Rhine-Westphalia Foundation and the Botanical Garden Solingen promises to restore a beloved landmark and provide a beautiful space for visitors to enjoy.
