Network "Weiterstadt acts" strengthens community sense with a hands-on campaign for the day of the neighborhood
Under the motto "Flowers say more than words", "Weiterstadt works" network has a visible sign for neighborhood help and cooperation . As part of the day of the neighborhood 1,000 flowers distributed volunteers from May 23 to 26, 2025 - as a gesture of appreciation and invitation to exchange exchange.
The idea: each person got two flowers - one to keep, the other to give away to a neighbor. The campaign started on Friday in Weiterstadt-Mitte and ended in Schneppenhausen on Monday.
Flowers as a door opener for encounter
"Usually you are addressed to donate or buy something," said a surprised passer -by. "This loving gesture really touched me." Kindergarten children also took part, chosen a flower carefully - for example for her own mother. The campaign quickly developed into a "door opener" for discussions - about successful neighborhoods , community life and dealing with everyday conflicts .
Mayor Ralf Möller , full -time forces, volunteers and children from urban daycare centers, the youth center (JUZE), youth promotion and from the refugee accommodation made the campaign a visible success.
Engagement across all generations
The campaign was borne by the municipal alliance for diversity and participation , organized in the "Weiterstadt acts" . Ua Uschi Kmoch (BSG) , Dieter Brombach (Education Advisory Board) , Dieter Veith (Senior Advisory Board) , Karin Merkl (WEA) and many other committed people from volunteering, city administration and youth work.

The network invites all interested parties to the event "Building Neighborhood Aid" on Saturday, June 14, 2025 , from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the media ship of the city library . The aim is concrete ideas and impulses how neighborhood help in Weiterstadt can be further developed and designed sustainably.
