With the “Buurtschat” initiative, the Urban Renewal Area Management looked for ideas for a good neighborhood in the Wiesen area.

Neighbourhood party, silent disco, participatory children’s spectacle or neighbourhood picnic – the Wiesen will be colourful in the coming months. 23 entries The winners of the District council with 10 members named.

A district council, consisting of active residents, has selected the best four ideas, which in total 3000 euros what I can look forward to.

These ideas are being implemented:

• Neighborhood party Rößlergasse
  A festival by and for neighbours – to get to know the neighbourhood and with the aim of organising neighbourhood activities together in the future. The GB* will also be present at the festival as part of the anniversary “50 Years of Urban Renewal Area Support” and will present its information and service offerings as well as the Neighbour Treasure project.

Neighbourhood Treasure initiatives strengthen the sense of community

In the meadow stands a young, dynamic neighborhoodwhere the drive for action is great. “With the Neighbor Treasure we want to support ideas for a lively neighborhood and make their implementation possible. The neighborhood council helped us with this, because with the Neighbor Treasure the residents themselves decide which ideas they support and implement with their neighborhood budget,” says an excited Beatrix Vogler-Kautz of the Urban Renewal Area Support Team.

The active participation has proven: Many residents are already involved in In der Wiesen and are committed to their neighborhood – with the aim of promoting a vibrant community. With the GB*Neighbourhood Treasure Initiative The Urban Renewal Area Management wants to motivate even more people to become involved in their living environment and various open spaces to share.
