Count Björn Bernadotte and the staff of Mainau Island
"On Mainau we not only focus on a healthy lifestyle, but also on environmentally conscious mobility! With offers such as regular bike checks from local providers such as @indigo_fahrradservice_konstanz, bike leasing, covered bike parking spaces and e-bike charging stations (the latter can also be used by guests!), all employees are encouraged to leave their cars at home more often and instead to switch to the bike. And we were rewarded for this: The ADFC awarded Mainau GmbH the “Gold” certificate as a “bicycle-friendly employer”!!"
 
On the Mainau Island a "peace sign" has been planted prominently in front of the castle in keeping with the annual motto “Flower Power”. The Mainau gardeners have used this symbolic power of flowers: around 1500 colorful 'Tagetes patula' , also known as marigolds, are planted in a “peace sign”. With this Mainau is sending a strong signal for peace.
Countess Bettina Bernadotte sees it as part of her social commitment as an entrepreneur to stand up for and promote a society of democracy, cosmopolitanism and diversity, in view of the increasingly anti-democratic and fundamental rights-contemptuous statements made by political figures: “Our employees are coming from 42 nations, this diversity enriches us. Appreciation is a central value of our corporate culture".
The peace sign will be visible until the end of September.

In keeping with this year's annual motto "Flower Power", the Coat of Arms hall of Mainau Castle presents well-known and award-winning photo designer Josh Westrich's artistically sophisticated photographic works of art using the flowers from May 18 to September 29.
