About 3,000 dogs are officially registered in the city of Sankt Augustin. There are plenty of walking paths for owners and four-legged friends – but they must be leashed. If the dog really wants to let off steam, the offer is small. In Sankt Augustin there is only one dog pasture where owners are allowed to let their dogs out: on the Niederpleis on Schulstrasse. The outdoor area on the Niederpleis is privately owned and leased by the city. According to press spokesperson Benedikt Bungarten, things should stay that way in the future. “There are no plans to use this space differently,” he said.
