FUND RAISING CAMPAIGN

Fund raising campaign Chinese Garden
Every Euro counts!

The Chinese Garden in the Botanical Garden of the Ruhr University Bochum is one of the most beautiful and most photographed places in Bochum and is known far beyond our city. Unfortunately, the weather and, above all, years of vandalism have taken their toll on it. In order to save the Chinese Garden from decay, it urgently needs to be renovated. We are calling on everyone who cares about this precious jewel of Bochum to make a donation. It's easy to do via our GoFundMe page!
