The new facility will also offer space for informal meetings and conversations. One of the offers is a free transport service within the community, for example, to doctor's appointments.

It should be a “seniors' club," stressed Hans-Dieter Kempf, chairperson of the community's senior citizens' advisory board. It will offer social advice from official bodies, including the municipality and district office, also in separate rooms, to lectures, sports activities, game afternoons, and creative days. The former shop offers good conditions. The large windows facing the square bring a lot of light into the rooms and also show the approach to transparency. “We don't want the new center to be in competition with existing offerings,' says Kempf.
