Community Councils at Schwätzbänkle: A lively afternoon for conversations and good ideas
On Tuesday, June 23, 2026, Lehen invites you to an open exchange at Schwätzbänkle. Between 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM, community council member Sabine Lutz-Bonengel and community councilor Christof Vonderstass will be available to engage in direct dialogue with exciting information on garden and ancestry questions. The event is part of the Action Month Engaged June in the city of Freiburg and addresses exactly where local engagement becomes visible: right in the neighborhood, close to the people, and with plenty of room for personal questions.

A meeting point with approachability and neighborhood character
The Schwätzbänkle Lehen is more than just a venue: It is a symbol of encounter, neighborhood, and citizen proximity. Anyone taking a seat here experiences not a distant question round but an open event experience with direct communication and real neighborhood feeling. This mix of information, exchange, and informal atmosphere makes the format so special. ([freiburg.de](https://www.freiburg.de/pb/site/Freiburg/node/343211/zmdetail_34371978/index.html))
What visitors can expect
The focus is on conversations, short impulses, and looking at topics that often only find a place on the margins in everyday life. The format fits perfectly with the idea of Engaged June, which highlights local volunteering and the diversity of urban participation in Freiburg. Those interested in garden questions, family traces, or simply life in the neighborhood will find a low-threshold access to the municipal level here.

The Bundschuhhalle Lehen is listed as a barrier-free multipurpose hall; thus, the district is well connected to the city's infrastructure. For access, the Lehen district is recommended with its well-known paths around the local administration and the hall.
