The Eberstadt Greens invite you to a cooking session and discussion about the district at the GARI BALDI cooking studio on November 26th
Chop vegetables together, prepare a delicious meal, and discuss the future of Eberstadt: Under the motto "Sizzling Greens and Talking About Eberstadt," the Eberstadt Green Party invites you to a special evening at the multicultural cooking studio GARI BALDI on Thursday, November 26, 2026, starting at 5 p.m. At the Caritas Center in Eberstadt South, the focus will be on meeting, cooking together, and exchanging ideas on issues that matter to the district. Everyone from Eberstadt and beyond is welcome. Registration is required by November 21.
Cooking together and getting into conversation
The evening's concept combines cooking together with an open exchange about life in Eberstadt. Under the guidance of Monika Müller, the participants will prepare a menu together. What exactly will be served remains a surprise, as is tradition.
Barbara Akdeniz, Heiko Depner, Andreas Ewald and Martin Duyster have also announced their attendance.
The shared experience of chopping, cooking, and eating should provide ample opportunity to talk to each other and exchange different perspectives.
What motivates the people of Eberstadt?
The focus is on questions concerning the development of the district. What is working well in Eberstadt? Where are the problems? And what ideas do the residents have for the future?
Martin Duyster, spokesman for the local branch of the Greens in Eberstadt, is looking forward to the exchange in a relaxed atmosphere.
"The election is behind us! Now we can fully dedicate ourselves to our beautiful Ewwerscht. Chopping and cooking together is a wonderful way to talk about what's on our minds here. And if things do get heated, hopefully it's only because of the stove," says Duyster.
The evening is intended to provide space for suggestions, criticism, and personal conversations. The focus is not on a traditional political event with lectures, but rather on collaborative activities and direct contact between participants.
GARI BALDI brings people together
The multicultural cooking studio GARI BALDI in the Caritas Center Eberstadt South has been a meeting place for many years.
People of different generations and backgrounds come together here to cook together, learn new dishes and talk to each other.
The project has received numerous awards for its commitment. In 2007, GARI BALDI was awarded the "Volunteering is Good for People" prize by the Darmstadt Volksbank. This was followed in 2014 by the Ketteler Prize from the Wilhelm Emmanuel von Ketteler Foundation.
The cooking evening organized by the Eberstadt Greens takes up this concept again: Preparing and enjoying a meal together is intended to provide a framework for an open exchange about the district.
Registration required by November 21st
The event will take place on Thursday, November 26th, starting at 5 pm in the Caritas Center Eberstadt South.
The cost contribution is six euros per person.
For organizational reasons, registration is required by Saturday, November 21, 2026 at the latest.
Registration is possible by phone, email, or in person at the Eberstadt community center. Written registrations via the Caritas center's mailbox are also accepted.
