The consequences of global climate change are also clearly apparent in the Berlin-
Brandenburg region: extreme weather events with storms and cloudbursts, and
increasingly frequent droughts, are new environmental phenomena that affect the
conservation and care of the gardens in the World Heritage Site, ‘Palaces and Parks
of Potsdam and Berlin’ and other historic gardens.
Concern for the survival of the cultural heritage entrusted to them has led the
Prussian Palaces and Gardens in Berlin and Brandenburg Foundation (SPSG),
which cares for gardens covering some 750 hectares, to address the issues of
climate change at an early stage and with a view to the future. The international
conference “Historic Gardens and Climate Change” brings together and discusses
multi-disciplinary research findings and proposals for their preservation, aiming
to produce practical guidelines for action.
Mulching or modern soil improvement techniques, flood defence measures,
tree care and appropriate replanting: in order to take the gardens into the future
in all their beauty and as historical witnesses, it will be necessary to rethink old
concepts and orientate towards cooperation among the most various scientific
and academic fields.
