Green facades in Europe

Globally speaking, façade greening was particularly widespread in Europe, especially in Central Europe, which was probably due to the favourable climate. Due to the climate crisis, it will be necessary to bring significantly more plants into densely populated cities, including through green facades. Looking back at the past can help us to assess the starting position and derive courses of action. What types of greening were there, and which plants were used? What has proven successful, so to speak? On this page, you will find historical examples from European countries. Please note the source references below many of the images.
