Spandau calls: Design your district actively!

In the Spandau district, the participation of the citizens is actively promoted. The Spandau district office has launched a new citizen participation format, which from June 1 to July 15, 2025 will receive suggestions for the design of the district. All interested citizens are invited to submit their ideas on the website www.mein.berlin.de . A prior registration on the page is required. In addition to submitting proposals, these can also be commented on and evaluated. Mayor Frank Lobig called the Spandauer to participate and emphasizes the importance of citizen participation for the development of the district Nicole Ewald from the district office is available for the exchange and the questions on the telephone number (030) 90279 2193. Information flyers are also available for citizens in the citizens' offices and libraries. The commitment of the Spandauer shows how important citizen participation is in local politics.

The initiatives for citizen participation are not new. In the Spandau district, the participation of the citizens is regularly and diverse, be it in the redesign of marketplaces or children's playgrounds. A “Spandau framework concept for the participation of citizens: inside” is currently being created. This concept is intended to clarify responsibilities, show opportunities for participation and formulate processes and quality requirements. The newly established coordination office for citizens: Interior participation is headed by Ms. Friedrich, which acts as an interface between the citizenship and the administration reports the platform Spandau moves .

Extensive citizen participation also requires innovative approaches. In its documentation, the DStGB illustrates that modern forms of communication in citizen participation are necessary to cope with the challenges of urban development and the expansion of renewable energies together with the population. The commitment of the population is crucial so that municipalities can work effectively

Citizen participation is more than just a duty today. It should be understood as an opportunity to involve the concerns and expert knowledge of the citizens at an early stage in order to develop solutions together. In this sense, the district office encourages all Spandauers to actively participate in the design of their surroundings and to know their voice.
