Dusseldorf's Mayor Experiences Mixed Reception at "Büdchen open" Event
In the heart of Wersten, Germany, a unique initiative is underway to renovate a cultural hut located at Werstener Dorfstraße 161. Originally planned for demolition, the hut is now being transformed into a community meeting point by local residents.
The official start of the "Washte161" project was celebrated with much fanfare, attended by the mayor, Stephan Keller, engaged individuals, representatives of associations, administration, and politics. The mayor also signed a lease agreement for the hut, which comes with an annual processing fee.
The renovation of the hut requires a significant financial and craftsmanship effort. To support this cause, sponsors and helping hands are still sought. Unfortunately, specific contact information or a PayPal account for sponsorship and volunteer opportunities related to the Washte161 project could not be found in the given information. It is recommended to check local community centers, social media platforms, or neighborhood forums specific to Wersten for more information on this project.
In addition to the renovation efforts, the project also hosts events to engage the community. On May 24th, the Werstener Bee Run will take place. This event offers three runs: a 5 km run starting at 10 am, a 10 km run starting at 11 am, and a Bambini run for children at 1:30 pm, each with an entry fee of 13 euros for the adult runs and 5 euros for the Bambini run. The start and finish of the Werstener Bee Run is at the Werstener Green Belt on 'm Rott.
To ensure a smooth running of the event, times will be recorded via race result.com with a transponder. It is recommended to travel by foot, bike, or bus (line 735/731, stop Ohmweg) for the Werstener Bee Run.
During the event, guests were shown the interior of the hut, illustrating its potential once fully renovated. Up-and-coming bands can secure a performance at Rock am Bach this year through a contest on June 28th. Andreas Beaugrand, a beekeeper, also gave a talk during the event about what can be done in one's own garden for bees. Many visitors came to the event by bike.
The garden group meets Tuesdays from 5 to 7 pm at Washte161, and a construction group will join on Thursdays for the renovation of the kiosk. For further information and registration for the Werstener Bee Run, please visit the provided link.
Mayor Stephan Keller received a digger and a mixed bag as a symbolic reminder of the originally planned demolition. This initiative serves as a testament to the power of community spirit and the transformation that can be achieved when people come together for a common cause.

- The Washte161 project, aside from the renovation, hosts various events like the Werstener Bee Run and the Rock am Bach music contest, aimed at fostering a lifestyle that promotes community engagement and appreciation for local culture.
