Ravenstein Residents: Get Ready to Rumble!
Hold on to your bonnets, because Thursday, November 21, 2024, is going to be an absolute bonanza! Yes, folks, it’s public council meeting time in Ravenstein! Gather your thoughts; don your best ‘I’m here for serious business’ face, and scare up some enthusiasm because it’s happening at 7:30 p.m., at the community center on Bischof-Gerlach-Straße 10. It’s the event of the century, or at least the month!
The Agenda: A Page Turner!
Now, let’s talk about the agenda that’s more thrilling than a Netflix drama:
- Question Time: This is where you throw your best questions at the council and hope they don’t duck!
- Recognition of Minutes from the Last Meeting: You know those meeting minutes that are about as exciting as watching paint dry? Well, someone’s trying to recognize them.
- Building Application: Oh, yes, a staircase, attic conversion, and roof renewal in the Merchingen district! Because who doesn’t love a good roof renovation, right?
- Determination of Building Site Prices: Yes, folks, this is where we discover the true price of building sites in Wasserstube and the like. Spoiler alert: it’s likely more expensive than your last DIY project!
- Awarding of External Water Rehabilitation: Let’s hear it for the plumbers! A riveting round of “who gets to fix the sewer?”
- Adjustment of Assessment Rates: Because everyone loves a surprise when it comes to property tax, don’t they?
- Participation Report 2023: This is where we can finally see who participated and who was too busy binging on reality TV.
- Information/Inquiries: A final curtain to enjoy more riveting discussions or at least see how many people can avoid eye contact.
Here’s the Nitty-Gritty!
Signed by none other than our illustrious mayor, Ralf Killian (kudos for signing your life away!), this meeting is not to be missed. And if you haven’t got enough of the precursory reading, fear not!

Teens, Time to Speak Up!
Attention all young citizens!

Find It Out: The Annunciation Board!
Don’t forget the Annunciation Board, where all the council gems can be found (probably after hours of wandering around trying to find it!).
Bring on the Drama!
So there you have it! An unmissable evening where the council will grapple with such pressing issues you might just rethink your Netflix lineup. Will they come to a unanimous agreement on the staircase? Will the sewer work get contentious? Only one way to find out! Your chance to be a part of local governance, or at least to liven up a dreary Thursday night!
