Public Involvement
In 2016, citizens were able to express their wishes and ideas for the new district in a large-scale informal citizen participation. The result was the Rosenstein Memorandum – it includes all the aspects for Stuttgart Rosenstein that were important to citizens.

Since March 2017, we have had the “Gläsernes Büro” [transparent office] – a facility in the Nordbahnhofviertel [northern railway district] operated by the City of Stuttgart together with “Info-Laden Rosenstein auf der Prag e.V.”. It is the place to go to gather information about the urban development project Stuttgart Rosenstein.

In the summer of 2023, there was a mobile exhibition that toured through four city districts over four weekends. With mobile and changeable exhibition elements, comfortable seating furniture and playable areas for children, the interactive exhibition became a temporary meeting place in the neighborhood. Playful elements enabled low-threshold participation.
