文化的背景

The 'Schrebergarten' culture is a unique way Germans stay 'im Grünen'. These are small leased garden plots where people grow vegetables and relax. In Vienna, the 'Heuriger' (wine taverns) are often located 'im Grünen' on the outskirts, combining nature with culinary tradition. Being 'im Grünen' in Switzerland often implies being in the mountains or alpine pastures, which is a core part of national identity. German cities are designed with 'Grüngürtel' (green belts) to ensure that even in industrial areas, people are never far from 'das Grüne'.

Yes! Even a large park like the Englischer Garten in Munich is referred to as being 'im Grünen'.

The opposite is 'in der Stadt' or more colloquially 'im Beton' (in the concrete).

Technically yes, as things aren't green in winter, but people still use it to mean 'out in the countryside' even when the leaves are gone.
