Enhancing the Fresher Appearance for Wooden Benches
The city of Siegen has announced that maintenance activities on the seating steps at the Sieg River, the Herrengarten, and Cologne Street will be taking place in August 2025. The aim of these activities is to keep the wooden surfaces clean and well-maintained, ensuring the continued use and enjoyment of these facilities.
The maintenance work involves cleaning and oiling the wooden surfaces of seating benches and handrails on the staircase at the Sieg River, as well as the seating benches in the Herrengarten and on Cologne Street. This refreshment is being done in sections to minimise disruption.
The city has also stated that the seating areas in the Herrengarten and on Cologne Street will be temporarily closed during the maintenance work. However, the closure will only be for the duration it takes for the newly applied oil to dry. The area around the seating steps at the Sieg River will also be temporarily cordoned off.
The maintenance activities are part of a regular upkeep of the area, with the city committed to maintaining the facilities in the best possible condition. The city encourages the public to respect the temporary closures and cordoned-off areas for the safety of all.
Regular cleaning and maintenance work is essential to keep the facilities well-maintained. In general, such maintenance is often recommended at least once or twice a year, depending on the local climate and exposure conditions.
For those seeking more specific information about the maintenance schedule and timeline for these public or natural areas in Siegen, it is recommended to contact the City of Siegen's public works or parks department, local environmental or conservation agencies managing the Sieg River and Herrengarten, or Siegen’s municipal administration office for public street care (Cologne Street).
Without direct official documentation or local guidelines, it is not possible to provide a precise schedule or timeline for cleaning and oiling wooden surfaces at these specific sites. The city appreciates the patience and understanding of the public during this maintenance period and looks forward to welcoming everyone back to enjoy these beautiful outdoor spaces once the work is completed.
The city is also dedicating time to enhancing the home-and-garden aesthetic of the public seating areas, including the seating steps at the Sieg River, Herrengarten, and Cologne Street, by ensuring a fresh to-lifestyle look through the regular cleaning and oiling of the wooden surfaces. The local authority requests the public to acknowledge the temporary closures and cordoned-off areas for safety, as these areas will be reopened once the oil has dried, promoting continued enjoyment of these facilities.
