The landscaped staircase in Scharnhäuser Park is not only large in its dimensions, measuring 1050m in length and 40m in width, but also, with its 48 terraced sections, it stores rainwater and channels it into the surrounding streams. Furthermore, this large open space makes the residential area much more spacious and livable.
