120 participants express their opinion on the city center design
At this year's Spring Sunday on April 27, 2025, the city's citizen participation initiative also presented itself with its own stand. Around 120 citizens took the opportunity to give their opinions on Griesheim's city center and the street furniture installed there as part of a survey.
Besides the survey, the booth also provided entertainment: A question about the most popular ice cream flavor in Griesheim (correct answer: chocolate) encouraged participants to puzzle and discuss. A throwing game offered children and adults the chance to win small prizes such as frogs – the mascot of the citizen participation initiative. Coloring pages were also available for children.
Background: Street furniture in Griesheim city center
The city of Griesheim is participating in the federal funding program "Sustainable City Centers and Town Centers" with the project "Griesheim. Inside." As part of this program, mobile and partially planted street furniture has been purchased to improve the quality of life in the city center.
With this survey, the city aims to determine how the street furniture is received by the public and what impact it has on the cityscape. Citizen participation is being supported by Wer Denkt Was GmbH from Darmstadt.
