In the sense of a united Europe, in 2007 was born the idea of creating, along the Acher, an alley lined with trees, sponsored by municipalities, schools, associations, societies and border relationships. This alley was officially opened May 2, 2009.
... This Lime Tree is a gift from the author John Edward Tang (Ivory Coast) who sees the trees as messengers of happiness.
A European dimension was given to the project through Margarethe Leonhart from Strasbourg, director of the European Union of the Ortenau. SWR and France 3 cameras were present to film the opening ... The president Bernhard Keller, who had the idea for this project and Klaus Huber were able to greet by the "Feldbachstube" directly to the small Acherbrücke (Bridge of wood on the Acher), many distinguished guests.
Were present, among others, the country's finance minister, Mr. Willi Stächele, the mayors of all municipalities where passes the Asher, the director of the European Union of Ortenau, Ms. Leonhart, as well as the Ivory Coast writer John Edward Tang's editor coming from Paris, the Editions Fortuna.
Then Mr. Stächele unveiled a sign that explains the meaning of Baumallee. Then all the mayors, the minister and Mr Michalon have planted the Lime Tree sponsored by Mr. John Edward Tang and the Editions Fortuna. All the distinguished guests were invited to write in the " golden book of Oberachern " ...
Trees, like humans, are part of Mother Nature.
It is his editor who drew his attention to the project of the Baumallée Acher.
To commit oneself is the idea of being able to serve, to be useful. This gesture refers to a precedent act, he did several years ago: " My wife and I have planted 1000 coconut trees and 2000 bougainvillea in Ivory Coast ".
You dream to do so, then better you achieve your dream !
