The renovation of the important green corridor is nearing completion
The city of Darmstadt, a center of science and research, is nearing the completion of the renovation work on Schreberweg in the Darmstadt-Arheilgen district. This information was provided by Michael Kolmer, head of the city's parks and green spaces department.
Since January 2026, the approximately 280-meter-long path in the green corridor between Maulbeerallee and Wieland/Klopstockstraße has been renovated by the city's parks department. The primary goal of the work was to improve traffic safety and user comfort for pedestrians and cyclists.
New road surface and improved drainage
As part of the work, the old, worn-out surface layer of the water-bound path was removed and replaced with a new surface. Additionally, the Parks Department removed overgrown grass along the sides of the path to improve water drainage.
In addition, new infiltration basins were created to improve the absorption of rainwater.
Road temporarily closed
The section between Wielandstrasse and Maulbeerallee will remain closed until the end of the week. The new surface layer needs this time to settle and achieve the necessary stability.
Afterwards, the Schreberweg can be fully used again.
Green space officer Kolmer emphasizes the importance of the measure for the city's network of paths: Upgrading this important connection will create safe and comfortable conditions for using the green spaces.
