We have a goal. We plan the landscape in Bad Homburg. We want to develop the landscape in the long term.
The map shows the objectives for the landscape in Bad Homburg. The map is called "Perspectives for landscape and open space development in Bad Homburg v.d.Höhe". The map shows what the landscape in Bad Homburg should look like in the future. This is the model for the development of the landscape in Bad Homburg.
There are rooms that are very valuable. These areas should be preserved for a long time. These include the Kirdorfer Feld landscape and nature reserve. The Landgraves' Garden Landscape is also one of them. The Limes and Saalburg UNESCO World Heritage Site is also included. Some valuable woodland areas are also included. There are historic parks in the inner area. The open spaces in the old town are particularly valuable. The village centers of Ober-Erlenbach, Ober-Eschbach and Kirdorf are also valuable. The villas in the historic spa district on the Kaiser-Friedrich-Promenade are listed and very valuable.
The green corridors along the streams are very important for the city. They are important for recreation. They are important for the protection of animals and plants. They are important for the air in the city. The city wants to further develop the green corridors. There should be no new buildings. There should be many different plants. The paths for bicycles and pedestrians should be improved.
There are many small landscapes outside the city. These landscapes are typical of Bad Homburg. There are orchards, leisure gardens and meadows. These landscapes should remain. They should be developed further. Examples are Platzenberg, Pilgerrain and Wingert.
The arable landscapes on the fertile soils near Ober-Eschbach and Ober-Erlenbach should remain. They should become better for plants and animals. This can be achieved with structural elements. These are located along the regional park route, for example.
Nature should have more diversity. The protection of animals is important. Some animals are particularly important for Bad Homburg. These animals live in the Erlenbach FFH area. The bullhead fish species lives there. There are special butterflies in the north-west of the town. These butterflies are the light and dark meadow blue. They were found there in 2015 and 2017.
