Prominent Guests Attend Opening
Daniel Köfer, state secretary in the Hessian Ministry of Agriculture, delivered the opening address. He stated:
“BUGA 2029 is a unique collaborative project. In the long term, it will help further strengthen the attractiveness and vitality of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley as a place to live and work. This is why the State of Hessen is supporting the BUGA and the Hessian BUGA sites in Rüdesheim, Assmannshausen, and Lorch with more than ten million euros.”
The exhibition, he said, showcases the wide range of ideas, concepts, and planning approaches that will pave the way to a successful event. It clearly demonstrates the commitment, creativity, and expertise being invested in shaping this livable and forward-looking region.
Beforehand, guests were welcomed by Professor Hans Reiner Schultz, president of Hochschule Geisenheim University, as well as Sven Stimac, managing director of the Bundesgartenschau 2029, and Manuela Bosch, first councillor of the city of Rüdesheim am Rhein. The event was moderated by Nadja Hilfrich, a master's student studying Landscape Architecture and Landscape Planning at Hochschule Geisenheim University.
Exhibited Designs Reflect Long-Standing Partnership
Since 2021, students from the study programs in Landscape Architecture, Horticulture, and International Wine Business have been developing creative and sustainable ideas to reimagine and invigorate the Upper Middle Rhine Valley. The exhibition presents the results of this interdisciplinary collaboration and invites visitors to explore the diversity of ideas on display.
