Plants of the Visitor Car Park of the Hockenheim Race Course
Biotop
The visitor parking lot of the Hockenheim Race Course is a large sand grassland which is partly superficially acidified, and which usually is regularly mowed. In the Covid years 2020 and 2021 there were only few racing events, so also the car park was only rarely used and was mowed very late. In addition to the usual low growing dicotyledons on sand grassland, a particularly rich flora of low growing grasses has established, e.g. species of genus Aira, Eragrostis, and former genus Vulpia (in between Festuca).
Since 2023, however, the rare grasses can no longer be viewed, since the parking lot was surrounded by a construction fence that also does not offer a passage for pedestrians, a completely incomprehensible measure by the Hockenheim-Ring GmbH.
