Saxony's state capital Dresden has been selected to host the 2033 Federal Garden Show.

Saxony's state capital Dresden can host the 2033 Federal Garden Show. The meeting of the German Federal Garden Show Society (DBG) voted unanimously in favor, as the city administration announced on Thursday. "I am proud that the intensive work of the past few months has paid off and that the state capital of Dresden can host the first Buga in Saxony," said Lord Mayor Dirk Hilbert (FDP) and thanked the city for its trust.

"We are delighted that Dresden will host the Federal Garden Show 2033," said DBG Managing Director Achim Schloemer. This will enable urban and regional development to be decisively advanced in the coming years. "Dresden has a lot of potential for a highly interesting, successful Federal Horticultural Show." Hajo Hinrichs, Chairman of the Shareholders' Meeting, added that the feasibility study with which the city had submitted its application offered exciting approaches to preserving ruins as places of remembrance. "There are promising core areas planned, and the concepts for long-term preservation also convince us."

The concept for Buga 2033 is intended to make the city of culture greener, more sustainable and more ecological, while at the same time recalling the massive destruction of the Second World War. The Bundesgartenschau-Gesellschaft had offered Dresden the exclusive right to host the 2033 event. According to the press release, it will be awarded the final contract once the implementation agreement has been signed. The joint plans for Buga 2033 should be sealed "in the near future".
