Erich Göttling, Uwe Steinhäuser, District Administrator Rainer Wegener, Matthias Kaufmann, Friedhelm Hallmann and Thomas Brien plant a Hildesheim Goldrenette in the garden of sensen on the premises of Arbeit und Dritte Welt.
With this campaign, the participants want to make a contribution to the preservation of historical fruit varieties from the region.
Previously, the participants, members of the organization team of the charity double header tournament in the Panorama Lounge in Hildesheim, had handed over a cheque for 1250 euros.
This old apple variety was grown from seed by the Protestant superintendent Cludius in Hildesheim around 1831 and has since spread mainly in the Hanover-Brunswick area. Harvest time is October. The apple ripens from December to March and is a large, smooth, golden-yellow, sun-reddened, delicately aromatic, tart dessert apple.
Young trees of the Borsumer Zwetsche and the Hildesheimer Saftrenette were also planted.
Before receiving this donation, Thomas Brien provided information about the tasks and objectives of the non-profit association.
Further Hildesheim Goldrenette trees are to be planted at suitable locations in the city and in the Hildesheim countryside.
