Action Planning in Ludwigsburg, Germany

The County of Ludwigsburg is also located in Baden-Wurttemberg in the Stuttgart region. The publicly owned company services over 500.000 residents in the county. It operates 3 landfills (Am Froschgraben, Am Lemberg and Burghof) and a series of collection stations. The company also services the mineral waste disposal from Stuttgart city and all five surrounding counties.
Ludwigsburg concluded that the landfill Am Lemberg has already been recultivated with forest according to the German Forest Law. Landfill Burghof will be still in operation for the next 20 years. So Ludwigsburg has identified Am Froschgraben for redeveloping some 25 hectares into a short rotational plantation and biomass production including area for leisure activities.

Landfill Am Froschgraben (42 hectares)
This landfill is located in the agricultural area of the county. A volume of 3.5 million cubic metres has been deposited. Ludwigsburg would like to extend the landfillcapacity with 2 million cubic metres for the disposal of mineral waste. A recultivation plan has recently been presented. In the meantime Ludwigsburg would like to plan a short rotational plantation on the site and to consult all stakeholders. Ludwigsburg has already approved to test a small area of 2 hectares. It will be extended to 25 hectares. Ludwigsburg has evaluated their decision to develop a short rotational plantation on the site in terms of environmental, social and economical criteria. As the total area of the site covers 42 hectares it also possible to develop area for leisure activities such as barbecue sites, play grounds and mountainbike course. The community of Schwieberdingen will be informed about the temporary planning results about the new topography of the site and will be involved in the planning process.
