Commencement of the "Road Oases" competition's next phase
The Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Transport's "Street Oases" competition is still accepting applications until October 10, 2025. This annual competition encourages municipalities to submit innovative projects in the categories of Climate Protection and Species Protection.
In the Species Protection category, projects often focus on areas that promote insect biodiversity, with the creation of flowering strips using native plants being a common approach. Last year, the Ostalbkreis won first place in this category for the second year in a row, impressing the judges with an outstanding concept. State Secretary Elke Zimmer visited the winners on July 29 and 30, 2024, and praised the collaboration between the administration and citizens that made the project possible.
In a heartfelt thank-you, presumably a representative from Ostalbkreis, acknowledged the hard work of the volunteers involved in the project. Meanwhile, Überlingen took first place in the Climate Protection category with several redesigned city center areas. Many volunteers from the "City Beautification" initiative supported the project in Überlingen.
In a notable recognition, the two trainees for road maintenance in Ellwangen received the "Street Oasis 2024" winner's plaque. The exact details of their winning project were not available, but it is clear that their efforts have been commendable.
The top ten winners will receive the "Street Oasis" award, recognising their commitment to climate and species protection. As we approach the deadline for applications on October 10, 2025, it's an exciting time to be part of this inspiring initiative that brings together municipalities, volunteers, and the community in the pursuit of a greener and more biodiverse future.
