An open conversation at the Schwätzbänkle in Lehen
On Friday, June 19, 2026, the Schwätzbänkle in Freiburg-Lehen invites you to a small but special moment of meeting: From 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM, Volker Licht and local councilor Tilman Fischer will come together for an informal conversation. This format is part of the Engaged June action month and represents exchange, closeness, and a lively atmosphere for the public in the neighborhood.

What makes this appointment special
The Schwätzbänkle is intentionally low-threshold: sit down, listen, tell stories, ask questions. The strength of this event experience lies precisely in that. Instead of a big stage, immediate encounters count here – with people from the neighborhood, with local issues, and with an atmosphere that makes the public space feel personal. The project was initiated by the city administration, the Freiburg Senior Citizens’ Council e.V., and Safe Freiburg e.V., and is supported by the Volker-Homann Foundation.
