About us
We are an interdisciplinary initiative with the goal of helping to shape the future of a liveable city on the river. By designing and opening up the Neckar Island, we invite everyone to become part of this transformation.
Goals
In Stuttgart, we see the unused potential of the Neckar as a habitat and ecosystem. By opening up the Neckar Island, we want to bring the river back into people's awareness and create a place for exchange, education and experience for the city on the water.
Our long-term goal is a cooperative, sustainable and radically positive redesign of the Neckar in Stuttgart. Different formats for young and old, neighbours and river enthusiasts, experts and interested people offer access to the river for everyone. A place of knowledge transfer and production is being created with a diverse range of offers: Guided tours of the island, a public a public measuring station to check the water quality, an island week with lectures and workshops. In order to strengthen a change of perspective on how we deal with water as a resource and life on the river, various cooperations from education, art and science form the basis for a water laboratory on the Neckar.

You would like to actively participate or are interested in the Neckar? - Volunteer work forms the basis of the project. Within the framework of the Neckar Island, everyone can discover their own curiosity and desire for the river and actively help shape formats.
