Projects

We were delighted to carry out the planting at the rainwater retention basin on Frankfurter Allee/Spechthausener Straße on 3 April 2024. As the regionality of the plants plays a major role, the plant species to be used were agreed with the city of Eberswalde. The project applicant (Mr Neumann) then procured numerous plants.

Among other things, 10 lavender bushes were planted on site with a group from the Kinderinsel after-school care centre. The children also learnt a lot about plant care and the benefits of flowers and shrubs for the environment.

The care of already planted shrubs was also an important topic and was explained in theory and then put into practice. The plants were then planted, watered and cared for together. We now hope that they will grow well and that we will soon be able to create a sea of flowers for insects and for the eye.

The "Beekeeping in the neighbourhood" project was launched back in 2021 by Bernd Pfeifer in collaboration with Wohnungsgenossenschaft Eberswalde 1893 eG, Hebewerk e.V. and the neighbourhood management team.
Since then, the beekeepers and, above all, the four bee colonies have integrated perfectly into the neighbourhood. The project will continue in 2024.

The five beekeepers want to raise interest in honey bees and understanding for the support of all insects. For example, an insect hotel was built for this purpose. The plan for 2024 is to build a log hive (an artificial bee dwelling) that can be set up as a demonstration apiary. All interested parties, school and daycare groups, as well as participants from the Brandenburg neighbourhood can thus be introduced to the keeping of honey bees and practices for expanding bee colonies. The honey collected will be harvested collectively and the proper treatment of the bees will be taught.

You can buy delicious honey at festivities in the neighbourhood. Mr Bernd Pfeifer is available in the neighbourhood office on Mondays and Fridays: 03334 81 82 45.

30 pre-school children from Noah's Ark daycare centre go on a bus tour to the animals of prehistoric times. The aim is to show the children the animals of prehistoric times and compare them with today's animals in the zoo.

We wish all the children a great and eventful project day.

The plants at the rainwater retention basin on Frankfurter Allee will be expanded again this year. In an intergenerational planting campaign, the plants already in place will be expanded. The regionality and longevity of the plants is particularly important. Mr Neumann (project applicant) and the neighbourhood management team have discussed the choice of plants with the city of Eberswalde and selected them accordingly.

The project focuses on the diversity of plants and intergenerational interaction.

On 30 March, senior citizens from the AWO and children from the Arche Noah daycare centre replanted and cared for plants together and everyone learned a lot from working together.

Bring a book! Take a book!
Read a book!

...is the sustainable book boXX in the Heidewald Centre and invites you all to dive into the literature. INBAK (www.inbak.de) submitted another application to extend the BücherboXX to the delight of all readers. It is to remain in place as a freely usable "street library" for a period of around 12 months in line with the familiar concept. A permanent solution is already being considered.

The BücherboXX is currently located in the Heidewald shopping centre and is used intensively for social and cultural development and is accessible to all residents.

Do you still have books at home or are you keen to read a new book? Then drop by!

Please maintain order and cleanliness!

The "Beekeeping in the neighbourhood" project was launched last year by Bernd Pfeifer in collaboration with Wohnungsgenossenschaft Eberswalde 1893 eG, Hebewerk e.V. and the neighbourhood management. The aim is to familiarise project members, interested parties, including school and daycare groups, as well as contributors from the Brandenburg district with the keeping of honey bees and practices for expanding bee colonies. The collected honey is to be harvested collectively and the proper treatment of the bees is to be taught.

You can talk to Mr Pfeifer at festivities in the neighbourhood and find out about the bees in the neighbourhood or contact him directly at: quartiersmanagement@eberswalde.de.

In spring, two queen bees have already moved into Havellandstraße 15. Gerlinde and Elfriede are building up their colonies and diligently collecting food in their neighbourhood. The first honey has already been extracted and can be purchased at the Fête de la Viertel - it will be delicious.

Among other things, the bee group presented itself together with the QM at the blue-green festival organised by 1893 eG. A beehive was on display and there was plenty of other information and educational material about bees and beekeeping. Anyone interested in beekeeping or woodwork is welcome to contact the project manager Mr Pfeifer. He is always available on Mondays and Fridays in the on-site office of the neighbourhood management and on 03334 818245.

From June, there will be a new meeting place for young and old in the Brandenburg neighbourhood - the AWO is opening a meeting café. The café will be set up in the dining room of the "Im Wolfswinkel" care home (Beeskower Straße 1, 16227 Eberswalde) with use of the terrace. The doors of the café are open to everyone every Thursday to Sunday from 14:00 - 18:00. Thanks to the barrier-free design, access is granted to all people and enables an uncomplicated exchange.

In addition, the AWO will offer a food service if the Netto shop in the Heidewald Centre closes. A small shop will also be opened at Frankfurter Allee 24 to offer people with limited mobility in particular the opportunity to shop close to home.

As the potential for violence among children and young people is perceived to be increasing, a violence prevention project will be implemented from June. Organisers from the Brandenburg district will have the opportunity to attend workshops in June and July and learn ways to achieve non-violent conflict resolution, peaceful coexistence and constructive conflict management.

In addition, therapeutic (non-violent) boxing is offered in the youth clubs in the city of Eberswalde to make young people aware of their own physical strength and to take preventative action against violent behaviour.

The "Helle Stunde mit Kultur" project is a free cultural programme for the Brandenburg Quarter, which takes place every Wednesday on Potsdamer Platz as part of the weekly market. The "Helle Stunde" will enter its fourth season in 2024. From 29 May to 9 October, there will always be changing performances on Wednesday mornings from 11:00 - 12:00. Different artists will perform at the weekly market, helping to revitalise the market.

Further information on the respective events can be found on the Mescal website: https://mescal.de/helle-stunde/

This year, Britta Tomis from "Hunde im Blick" will once again be offering free dog training at the dog exercise area in Barnim Park (in the Brandenburg neighbourhood). The dog training will take place every Thursday from 4.00 to 5.00 pm from 22 February to 28 November 2024. This year, dog training will focus more on creating a closer bond between dog and owner.

Basic commands should already be internalised by the dogs. The training will focus on the use of the course in an appropriate and playful way. The course equipment will be used and exercises with dogs and humans will be utilised. In addition, the topic of promoting the bond between dog and owner will be part of the training.

Dog trainer Britta Tomis is on site every Thursday and welcomes new faces and dog noses.

The "Qualification Barnim Park" project aims to design the central area of Barnim Park. A table tennis table, a sports bench, relaxation benches and a calisthenics machine are to be purchased, installed and inaugurated together. In addition, the building yard has already made it possible to dismantle the roofs, move and remove the damaged seating stones and lay the foundations.

Thanks to our many cooperation partners, we are able to realise the project to this extent. Our thanks go to the Office for Social Participation and Integration - Youth Coordination, the Urban Development Office, the Civil Engineering Office, the building yard, our craftsman Mr Lehniger and the youth participation process JudiEs. Special thanks go to SPI, our realisation partner.

We kicked things off on Volunteer Day by placing rubbish bins together with many energetic volunteers.

A lot will change there in the summer months. We will keep you up to date here and on our Facebook page.
