Inner harbour festival 2005 and World Environment Day 2005
Special Event from TuTech-VISP Team and Local Agenda 21
on June, 4th and 5th Hamburg celebrated the annual festival in the Inner Harbour district - Harburger Binnenhafenfest 2005 -. Almost 100.000 visitors came and enjoyed the party with many activities on the water and at the waterside. People were allowed to visit and look inside some companies in the harbour, e.g a shipyard, a distillery for coffee, and went on various boat trips with one of almost fifty old ships and barges or even enjoyed the music on various stages.
The only problem was the weather. But even heavy rain showers on Saturday and on Sunday did not spoil the party in this exciting waterfront-district in Hamburg-Harburg, that is in a process of basic and radical change and presents a lively mixture of old and new.
As on June 5 the "world environment day 2005" was celebrated, together with the local environment group "Lokale Agenda 21 Harburg" TuTech and the Interreg project VISP organized a pedestrian ralley that guided the visitors through the Inner Harbour area.
The participants of this ralley got a questionnaire and they had to answer eleven questions about the Inner Harbour and about the environment and sustainability matters. About hundred of this questionnaires were handed out. Amongst all participants ten awards - e.g. a boat trip for a group, nature study books and VISP-TShirts - were drawn by the jury - represented by Juergen Becker and Tina Schmidt-Nausch from the VISP-Team at TuTech.
