The Association of German Landscape Architects in Hesse (Bund Deutscher Landschaftsarchitekt:innen Hessen e. V.) has announced the Hessian Landscape Architecture Prize for the first time, under the patronage of Boris Rhein, Minister-President of the State of Hesse.
In light of climate change, urban densification, new ways of living and working, and increasing demands on ecology, biodiversity and social quality, the design of open spaces and landscapes in Hesse’s regions, towns and municipalities plays a key role in managing the increasingly scarce resource of ‘landscape’.

The bdla Hesse Regional Association, its Executive Committee and its members mourn the loss of landscape architect Botho Schwarz, who had served as an honorary member of the Regional Association’s Executive Committee since 1994 and held the post of Treasurer from 1995 to 2001.
Following his appointment as Federal Treasurer to the Presidium of the bdla Federal Association in 2002, he remained loyal to the Hessian Executive Committee as a member.
It was not until 2014 that he retired from active service on the Executive Committee.
We remember his ever-cheerful nature, as well as the amiable, highly reliable and, at the same time, serious collaboration we enjoyed with him on the Executive Committee.
He was a source of ideas to us. As part of the Princely Garden Festival at Wolfsgarten Castle in Langen and at Fasanerie Castle in Fulda, he oversaw numerous show garden projects together with the Executive Committee and participating members from the association, some of which he planned and implemented himself, helped to build, and – in keeping with his role within the association – managed financially in line with the budget.
Botho Schwarz passed away on 29 September 2025 in Eltville am Rhein.
Below, we have provided a link to the obituary published by the bdla Federal Association:

In a fitness and health-conscious society, play, sport and exercise facilities in urban areas are becoming increasingly attractive alongside traditional sport in clubs. They are becoming important points of attraction and, quite naturally, architectural elements in urban spaces.
Public and freely accessible exercise facilities enable an intensive neighborhood and bond between the urban community and its green spaces. They are an integral part of the urban lifestyle and thus an enrichment with high social value for the community.
As an "add-on" to the DAM exhibition of the same name, the lecture series presents award-winning projects in the creative interplay of landscape architecture, architecture, urban planning, art and design. Socio-scientific components play an important role alongside sophisticated, standardized and high-quality design as a network for coexistence and cooperation in an active urban society and in the neighbourhood.
