Description of the project
Summary
Diversity is valued
The Marmorgarten is a collaborative initiative among various institutions led by Rueckenwind e.V., an NGO highly committed to sustainable development. Our project focuses on the creation and the sustainable maintenance of a unique urban community garden in the heart of the city centre of Hamburg. It is a green space that serves as a place for relaxation and learning, fostering a symbiotic relationship between individuals and nature. Our shared value is the respect for the Earth as the foundation of all our existence, advocating for regenerative practices in our daily lives.
The primary target is designed to be inclusive for diverse local residents, fostering a sense of community in the urban landscape. It is imperative that all visitors approach the space with openness and sensitivity. The goal is to counter isolation through meaningful interactions, with resources serving multiple functions for holistic well-being. Before making any changes, a careful examination of existing nuances is crucial. Diversity is highly valued, and feedback is actively sought for continuous self-regulation.
The specific objectives of our vision are centred on cultivating a community and garden that function as an integrated ecosystem. Personal growth is encouraged, promoting a lifestyle that is mutually beneficial for individuals and the planet, prioritising sustainability. The garden's creation revolves around establishing an edible landscape featuring GMO-free and seed-safe plants. Waste reduction is a core principle, achieved through closed cycles and the elimination of commercial fertilisers and pesticides.
At its core, the project addresses the detachment between urban communities and the natural world. It seeks to accomplish this by creating a regenerative, culturally enriched, diverse, and collaborative green space. It actively encourages residents to connect with nature, learn about environmental responsibility, and foster a sense of community ownership.

Key objectives for sustainability
The project was developed on the abandoned site of a marble warehouse in the heart of the city centre. The objective was to establish a space for human interactions, rich in biodiversity, where nature receives what it needs to thrive. Additionally, the project aims to address the climate crisis within a confined area, providing people with an immersive experience in the midst of the metropolis. This offers the opportunity to live and engage with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) right at your doorstep.
The project has successfully achieved its regenerative objectives by creating an agroecology, environmentally conscious green space. It stands out as an exemplary model for other community-driven initiatives, emphasising community engagement, urban sustainability, environmental education, biodiversity support, inclusivity, and social cohesion in metropolitan environments.
In the context of reconnecting with nature, the project can be exemplary for several reasons, including its strong focus on community engagement, its contribution to urban sustainability by transforming urban spaces into green oases, its commitment to environmental education, its promotion of biodiversity in urban settings, and its emphasis on inclusivity and social cohesion in metropolitan environments. Overall, the project not only meets its sustainability goals but also serves as a valuable model for other community-driven projects seeking to promote sustainability, inclusivity, and ecological responsibility in urban areas.

Key objectives for aesthetics and quality
The project has successfully met its key objectives related to aesthetics, quality of experience, and cultural enrichment. It has transformed a former parking lot into a visually appealing, culturally significant, and emotionally satisfying green space. We work with granite walls to capture the sun heat and integrate social spaces for exchange, observation and being. For the summer time we have thermal inversion rooms with trees, bushes and climbing plants. If it rains, we do have shelter under a 8x8m tent. When we are cold or hungry, we can light a pyrolysis oven to produce biochar to sequester carbon at the same time and thus quickly advance the development of soil fertility by using resources harvested in the city.
We have crafted a multifunctional landscape that nurtures the flourishing of both people and the biome. Our vision includes the development of fully edible, versatile spaces that contribute to the thriving of both human communities and the surrounding environment. We build cultural bridges by incorporating plants native to the countries of origin of the individuals we collaborate with. We place great emphasis on cleanliness, applying a high care approach to the entire ecosystem within our community. The garden's commitment to preserving cultural heritage, promoting emotional well-being, facilitating community and cultural exchange, and integrating artistic expression makes it an exemplary model for other urban projects. It showcases the importance of creating spaces that enrich the lives of people and foster cultural appreciation in urban environments.
While understanding the created space is valuable, the essence lies in experiencing it, grasping with all your senses!

Key objectives for inclusion
Social plastic
The Marmorgarten has successfully realised its objectives prioritising inclusion through a focus on accessibility affordability, inclusive governing systems, design for all principles, and the promotion of new societal models. As a non-partisan, interreligious, biodiverse space, we openly engage with neighbours, institutions, companies, schools, tourists, and more, welcoming them to experience our place.
The city of Hamburg provides financial support for our project, enabling us to offer free services to neighbours and the general public. We invite everybody to become a part of the garden. With love and care, we ensure the maintenance of the space, fostering a high level of joy for both visitors and participants. We believe in the development of frames that are similar in nature and can be applied to the Marmorgarten.
Furthermore, within this context, Rückenwind e.V. assists delinquent juveniles in fulfilling their court-imposed community service and it provides integrative support for young individuals engaged in work, fostering interactions with the St. Georg community and facilitating contact with nature.
The active involvement of these juveniles has played a significant role in the substantial development of this project. Serving as an exemplary model, the Marmorgarten showcases how urban green spaces can be designed to accommodate diverse populations, ensuring accessibility, affordability, and inclusivity for all community members.
The project's emphasis on participatory governance and sustainability challenges traditional urban design and governance concepts, providing a noteworthy example for other projects to follow.
