What do we mean by "local offers"?

Local offers include services, events, and products provided within city limits or the immediate vicinity. This includes, for example, weekly markets, neighborhood meetings, regional craft businesses, and cultural initiatives. Chains or franchise companies without regional roots are not considered local.

How do we define "community projects"?

Community projects are initiatives supported by at least three residents that have a clear, non-commercial benefit for the neighborhood. Examples include urban gardening groups, neighborhood help networks, or self-organized cultural festivals. Purely online groups without regular in-person meetings do not fall under this definition.

What criteria apply to "lifestyle" contributions?

Lifestyle contributions on this platform cover topics such as living, leisure activities, nutrition, and personal development in an urban context. They are based on experience reports, interviews, or on-site research. Contributions that contain solely product placements or brand recommendations are not classified as lifestyle but as advertising.

What does "culture" mean in the context of this site?

Culture encompasses all artistic, musical, literary, and performing activities that take place in the region. This includes exhibitions, concerts, readings, theater performances, and workshops. Cultural events must be publicly accessible and have an entry fee of a maximum of 30 euros to be considered low-threshold.

How is "leisure" defined?

Leisure activities are all non-professional pursuits that serve recreation, sports, or entertainment. We report on offerings such as sports clubs, hiking trails, playgrounds, parks, and public swimming pools. Private clubs or paid fitness studios with monthly membership fees exceeding 50 euros are not listed as public leisure offerings.
