Berliner Plätzeprogramm
Funding programmeActive according to the original source, checked on 15 Sep 2026
We checked provider, area, application route, deadline and contact against the original source. This is not a recommendation and not a promise of funding.
Through the Plätzeprogramm the senate finances the redesign of public squares in the districts — at more than 50 sites since 2009. A qualified planning procedure and appropriate participation of residents are required; feasibility studies can be paid for from it. The Berliner Regenwasseragentur funding overview lists the programme as a route to sustainable water management in public space.

Requirements and how to apply
Only public contracting authorities, usually the districts, may propose and apply. A qualified planning procedure with public participation is agreed for each project.
What you should know
This is not an application route for residents. If you want to change a square in your neighbourhood, contact the district's street and green space office or the district assembly — the district submits the application. It is unverified whether unsealing and tree planting are eligible purposes of the programme in their own right: the programme page gives no list of measures, only architectural quality, planning procedure and participation. We take that assignment from the Berliner Regenwasseragentur funding overview; the senate department's programme page is authoritative and names no funding amounts. Telephone, address and mailbox are the senate department's general ones, not the programme's — the programme page lists only the direct lines of individuals, whom we do not name here.
