Park to undergo lighting display at Kastellpark

In a bid to enhance safety and preserve the historical charm of Kastellpark Holten, the SPD faction in the Sterkrade District Council has proposed a lighting project. The project aims to illuminate the stretch from Dinslakener Street to Kastell Street, with a focus on maintaining the area's historic character.

The initial planning phases of the project emphasise several key aspects. To harmonise with the park's heritage atmosphere, traditional-style lighting fixtures are planned, possibly incorporating lantern-style lamps or designs inspired by the park's historic aspects. This approach ensures that the new installations blend seamlessly with the environment.

To balance safety, energy efficiency, and light pollution concerns, motion sensors are to be integrated. This means that lighting would activate or brighten upon detecting movement, ensuring the pathway is illuminated when in use but conserving energy and maintaining night-time ambiance during quiet periods.

Details such as exact fixture styles, sensor technologies, and installation timelines are still being finalised as part of the project's planning and budgeting process. The SPD's approach highlights a commitment to improving safety and usability of the pathway while preserving the cultural and historic integrity of Kastellpark Holten.

The project also aims to improve lighting in Kastellpark Holten, particularly during the winter months when early dusk occurs, allowing full enjoyment of the park. Furthermore, the SPD has initiated an investigation to determine the best way to illuminate Kastellpark Holten from Dinslakener Street to Kastell Street.

In addition, the SPD faction in the Sterkrade District Council is working to make Kastellpark Holten safer for the people of Oberhausen. The ecological reasons for recommending motion sensors for the lamps in Holten underscore this commitment to sustainable development.

For the most updated and detailed information, checking recent minutes from the Sterkrade District Council meetings or contacting local representatives from the SPD faction would provide the latest status on approvals and implementation schedules.

  • To align with the historical charm of Kastellpark Holten, the lighting project will feature traditional-style lighting fixtures, potentially including lantern-style lamps or designs reminiscent of the park's heritage.
  • The home-and-garden section of the project, focusing on Kastellpark Holten, aims to extend the lighting improvements from Dinslakener Street to Kastell Street, enhancing the lifestyle experience by ensuring the park remains accessible and enjoyable, even during winter months with early dusk.
