Rosa Rose Garten
Berlin, Germany · Operator: Rosa Rose Nachbarschaftsgarten collective
Overview
A neighborhood garden that lost its original site to an investor's apartment plans.
Citizen participation
In 2004 residents turned a wasteland into a shared neighborhood garden.
Operating model
Use of privately owned land later acquired by an investor; the sale reversed their position.
Impact
Investor Steffen Kreutzer bought the plots for apartments and cleared most of the garden on 14 March 2008; despite protests the garden became nomadic, resettling on Jessnerstraße in 2009. Lesson: gardening on leased private land can end with a single sale.
Crops
- vegetables
