Kickoff for "Finthen – Ready for the Future"

In recent years, the city of Mainz has already carried out citizen participation initiatives for the development of individual neighborhoods, involving discussion and participation by the public. These participatory initiatives have been successfully implemented in both Mainz-Ebersheim and Mainz-Drais.

Under the motto “Finthen—Ready for the Future,” the participatory neighborhood development process will now continue. The focus will be on Finthen’s town center:

  • How do Finthen residents define their town center?
  • What expectations and ideas do Finth residents have regarding future
    infrastructure and recreational offerings, as well as the design of their town center? Where do they see opportunities for action?
  • What developments, adjustments, or changes are desired, and which are viewed more critically? In short: With
  • what ideas are Finth residents bringing to the city administration and the local advisory board?

“To work out these objectives in dialogue with the neighborhood’s residents and the local advisory board, and to outline a shared vision for, for example, specific small-scale measures in public spaces, all residents are cordially invited to participate: Where and how do Finthen residents envision their town center in the coming years?” explains Mayor Nino Haase.

The discussion will focus on these fundamental questions. Mayor Nino Haase and the Finthen Local Advisory Council invite all Finthen residents to the kickoff event on Monday, October 26, 2026, 5:30 p.m., at the Mainz-Finthen Community Center (Am Obstmarkt 24, 55126 Mainz) to launch and advance the dialogue on Finthen’s town center.

Following an introduction, the kickoff event will offer interested residents of the Finthen neighborhood the opportunity to share their ideas, critiques, and visions for the future regarding the revitalization of the town center on bulletin board-style folding screens organized by various overarching themes. The event, organized by the Office for Urban Research and Sustainable Urban Development, will be moderated by the agency team ewen.

Information on the next steps in the process will be provided following the kick-off event. For
