Noise barrier project in Oldenburg
Green noise barrier Oldenburg
Erection of a free-standing, modular RAU® climatewall with a height of 2.80 m, a crown width of 0.70 m and a base width of 1.26 m. The wall was installed along a busy highway and planted with greenery.
The RAU® noise barrier serves to protect adjacent residential and natural areas from traffic noise. The intensive greening combines noise reduction with ecological enhancement. The project stands for sustainable noise protection that blends harmoniously into the landscape and at the same time creates habitats for plants and animals.

Type of project
Erection of a RAU® noise barrier
Project start and completion
2010
Job details & challenges:
The structural implementation required individual adaptation to different local conditions such as subsoil conditions, road layout and limited space. A flexible system solution was also required that would enable rapid construction and customized greening options.
Project objective:
The aim was to achieve a sustainable reduction in noise pollution for local residents and to enhance the ecological value of the streetscape. The noise barrier should not only be functional, but also visually appealing and environmentally friendly.
Results
- Components have a service life of up to 80 years.
- Excellent sound insulation and sound-absorbing greenery
- Improvement of the microclimate and fine dust filtration
- Promoting biodiversity through habitats for animals
- Natural, green aesthetics with high acceptance among the population
Conclusion:
The green RAU® noise barrier combines technical efficiency with ecological and social responsibility. It represents a future-proof solution that ideally combines noise protection, sustainability and landscape integration. The project underlines the potential of modern noise protection systems as active design elements for more liveable and environmentally friendly infrastructures.
