- Contents in English : OUTLINE: The architecture of the beginning 20th century is up to now in large parts of the city centre of Berlin the dominating form of urban environment. The less cover of vegetation and the high intensity of land use will be typical for these quarters. This research demonstrates new ways how to bring more vegetation into these quarters of the city by the use of facades and roofs as new stands for vegetation. Nearly 600 square meters of the roofs are covered with a low maintenance of vegetation, and 200-meter container carries vegetation at the facades. On aim of this work was to use plants with a function to urban ecosystems.
