The “Green Belt” nature conservation project was born shortly after the border opened. Nature and environmentalists met to secure the former border strip as the “ecological backbone of Central Europe”. The death strip was transformed into a “life line”; it became a paradise for nature.
The Heinz Sielmann Foundation initiated the Eichsfeld-Werratal Green Belt project. Between the Harz and the Thuringian Forest, in the three federal states of Thuringia, Lower Saxony and Hesse, 130 km of the Green Belt are maintained as a biotope network.
The entire Green Belt now runs over 12,500 km through Europe.

A 1,393 km long “Green Belt” runs through the middle of Germany from the Baltic Sea to the Saxon-Bavarian Vogtland. It is a valuable biotope with a width between 50 and 200 m. It was created from the unused areas of the former inner-German border in the protection of the border fortifications.
