The rising appeal of the Petersberg and its growing everyday utility isn't entirely balancing out the less-than-impressive condition of the upper plateau. Some parts of it look run-down and underused, due in part to the disorderly open spaces and the unhygienic state of the historical structures like the Defense Barracks and the Romanesque Peterskirche.

To address this issue, initiatives are underway to revamp the Defense Barracks and Peterskirche, aiming for an engaging display that'll leave a lasting impact beyond just the city. This revamp mission saw the commissioning of seven regional and supra-regional landscape architecture firms to design an appealing, top-notch, and eco-friendly blueprint for the upper plateau, considering future building uses and the Buga 2021 exhibition area.

From May 18 to June 12, 2018, these firms worked on their design concepts, with the goal of creating a blend of historical preservation and modern aesthetics on the upper plateau. This design overhaul would also aim to align with the Buga (Bundesgartenschau) 2021, an event all about gardening and landscape design.

Landscape architecture firms will most likely contribute to this project in several ways, such as:

  • Historical Preservation: Balancing modernization with the preservation of historical integrity is crucial. The firms will work on maintaining the historical charm while integrating modern touches.
  • Design and Planning: The firms will be tasked with creating detailed designs for public spaces and gardens that are both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
  • Sustainability: The development needs to be environmentally sustainable, minimizing its ecological footprint. The landscape architects will focus on using eco-friendly materials and designing spaces that are energy-efficient.
  • Integration with Existing Features: The new developments will be designed to integrate seamlessly with historical sites like the Defense Barracks and Peterskirche, creating a harmonious blend of old and new.

However, for a comprehensive and detailed plan of the Upper Plateau's development for Buga 2021, it's advisable to consult local government resources or specific announcements related to the event.

The revamp mission for the Defense Barracks and Peterskirche, aiming to leave a lasting impact beyond the city, includes the creation of an engaging lifestyle that blends historical preservation and modern aesthetics. This home-and-garden project, aligned with the Buga 2021 event (focused on gardening and landscape design), will see the integration of sustainable practices, ensuring a eco-friendly Upper Plateau that balanced modernity with historical charm.
