Content:

This module combines seminars, design exercises, and multi-day field excursions in Baden-Württemberg, neighboring regions, and abroad. Students explore ecological, cultural, and land-use factors shaping natural and cultural landscapes, including the specific uses of habitat types based on site conditions.

The course covers landscape and vegetation analysis, maintenance, and development strategies, integrating land-use and climate change perspectives. Students study practical methods, tools, and equipment for managing high-quality habitats, considering ecological impact, labor, costs, and efficiency. Reporting, documentation, and quality management are practiced through hands-on exercises.

Field-based learning ensures a strong practical focus, while students develop skills in planning and evaluating landscape interventions, creating maintenance and restoration plans, and presenting results through reports, posters, and presentations.

Students also learn to analyze and compare different landscape and vegetation types, develop planting and management plans for diverse habitats, and apply design and maintenance methods in real-world contexts.
