Household lock in Treptow-Köpenick: Kiezkassen stand still!

In the district of Treptow-Köpenick, a budget lock for 2025 is imposed due to the current budget situation. This was announced on December 3, 2024. Due to this lock, there are initially no funds from the Kiezkassen available that usually provide financial support for smaller projects in the neighborhoods. These funds have been 100,000 euros annually since 2018. Citizens who want to submit suggestions for projects have to be patient until the lock is lifted. As the page of berlin.de , the citizens should be informed in good time when the platform will be reopened for the submission of proposals and when the Kiezkassen meetings will be reopened take place.

financial perspectives and contact information

Despite the tense budget, there are already positive reports from the Senate Department for Urban Development, Building and Living. This has promised funding for 2025, which are planned, among other things, for voluntary commitment in neighborhoods and to strengthen major Berlin settlements. The social space -oriented planning coordination informs the citizens as soon as the funds are available and the applications can be submitted.

In the meantime, asking for concerns are given to the Office for Social Affairs via telephone, email or post in order to shorten waiting times. Visitors are recommended to make an appointment in advance and, if possible, to appear alone. According to the information on Service.berlin.de , important documents such as preventive power and care orders can also be certified there, but the personal presence of the power of attorney should be guaranteed.
