About this allotment
Schrebergärtnerverein Viernheim e. V. is an allotment garden association in Viernheim (Hesse) and a member of the Landesverband Hessen der Kleingärtner e. V. The association was formally established in November 1959 after the city of Viernheim made land available for leased garden plots; the first plots were cultivated in 1960. Following several expansion phases, the site today comprises around 278 plots with about 290 members across a total area of just over 22,300 square meters. The gardens are located on the outskirts of Viernheim near the railway line to Lampertheim; a clubhouse with a restaurant, built by members themselves, and an annual garden festival held since 1964 shape the association's community life.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get an allotment garden here?
Plots are handed out by the club itself, not by the city and not by us. The usual route: contact the club, ask to be put on the waiting list, and apply to several sites at the same time. How long it takes depends heavily on the region, from a few weeks in rural areas to several years in sought-after city locations. You will find contact details for Schrebergärtnerverein Viernheim e. V. on the club website, if one is on file.
What does a plot cost?
Rent is capped by law and comes to roughly 0.15 to 0.40 euros per square metre per year, depending on the federal state, Hesse included. On top of that come club fees, water, electricity and levies, together around 330 euros a year for a 300 m² plot. When you move in you pay the previous tenant a one-off transfer fee for the hut and the planting. Each club sets the exact amounts itself.
What do I have to grow in an allotment garden?
The German Federal Allotment Garden Act requires horticultural use. The rule of thumb is the thirds rule: roughly one third of the area for fruit and vegetables, one third for recreation, one third for paths and the hut. A purely ornamental or lawn garden is not permitted. You may not live in the hut permanently.
