Machbarschaft Petershof KölnWe made it – we are invited to the second round of the concept awarding procedure!
On November 4 at 5 p.m. we will have the opportunity to present our concept to the representatives of the real estate committee of the City of Cologne. We are looking forward to explain to the decision makers why and how we will implement our social and ecologically sustainable project in the buildings of the Petershof.
Two months of productive meetings, many phone calls, conversations, emails and visits of the Petershof are behind us. We as a group have continued to grow together and most importantly:
Our concept stands! We submitted it last Friday (july 30, 2021) to the Real Estate Office of the City of Cologne.
We thank our supporters!
Many thanks to all who have gone the way with us so far. Your enthusiasm and encouragement are incredibly motivating. We would especially like to thank the Bürgerverein Köln-Müngersdorf e.V. and the many initiatives, groups and individuals who want to revitalize the Petershof with us.
We look forward to the decision of the City of Cologne and expect it by the end of the year.
Today, Tuesday, July 20, 2021, the Kölner Stadtanzeiger (KStA) reports about our project group and the participation day on July 11, where we presented ourselves in Cologne-Müngersdorf with our ideas & plans for the Petershof.
Even we didn’t expected such a big turnout! More than 100 people followed our call on Sunday to meet on the Müngersdorf village square and think together about the future of the Petershof. Mostly big and small Müngersdorf residents were there, but also a lot of housing project enthusiasts and people who want to use the socio-cultural part of the Petershof. This has once again made it clear to us: Together we can do it!
“It’s great that you folks want to do this. It’s really sad how long the Petershof has been empty now!”
Visitor of the participatory day
We are very happy about the strong positive feedback and thank all supporters who made the day so special!
On July 11, 2021, starting at 2 p.m., we cordially invite you and all of you to join us for a participatory day on the village square in Müngersdorf. We want to present our ideas in Müngersdorf, get into conversation and spend a nice afternoon together. Tom and Freda will provide musical entertainment.
Come in large numbers! We are looking forward to it!
On June 26, 2021, we were able to present ourselves and our ideas at the 7th Cologne Housing Project Day of the Haus der Architektur. There we met great other projects, talked to representatives from the city and administration and found new comrades-in-arms.
We submitted our concept and financial plan to the City of Cologne at the end of July. In perspective, we still need financial support in the form of direct loans, which count as equity. We would be pleased if you would pledge us a direct loan.
