One of the projects at the Hessentag in Oberursel that will remain standing after the event is the new playground at the Maasgrundweiher – a lake located on the outskirts of the town.
One of the traditions of the Hessentag is for the state of Hesse to finance a project that will benefit a community in the long term.

The playground was officially opened this afternoon by the Ministerpräsident of Hesse, Volker Bouffier, together with the mayor of Oberursel Hans-Georg Brum and the Hessentagspaar who travelled there on their Segways.
A large number of children had gathered for the event, and all were issued with yellow helium-filled balloons, that were then released all at once.

The costs for the playground were covered jointly by Hesse, the insurance company Alte Leipziger and the Oberursel Lions club.
