We hold consultation hours

We organize joint breakfast meetings at the Maria Haus on Gemmenicher Weg and games afternoons at the Genezareth Church on Vaalserstraße in order to foster a sense of community and togetherness.
The restoration of the boules court on Galaterstraße on our own initiative has promoted the development of neighbourly networks on Steppenberg.
We arranged for new benches to be installed on Dreiländerweg to support older people and people with walking difficulties on their walks.
We explored Vaals and the Gut Hasselholz organic farm with informative guided tours, learned to see old houses in the city centre in a new light and dived into one of Aachen's last bunkers.
We held a wine tasting and twice a neighbourhood Christmas café.
Eight over-60s took part in a hiking trip to Crete organized by Martha Heinen. Once a month, we provide information about our activities by email.

We take part in the Kronenberg, Aachen-West (Gut Kullen) and Westparkviertel district conferences and in the meetings of the Laurensberg district council.
