Volunteering of the month: Monsheimer Initiative enchants Pfrimmgarten!

In a solemn ceremony, the initiative "Fridays in the Pfrimmgarten" from Monsheim was awarded the title "Volunteering of December". District Administrator Heiko Sippel honored the approximately nine committed members who have campaigned for the revival and maintenance of the Pfrimmgarten for years. Sippel praised the outstanding civic engagement, which has made what is a popular place for relaxation and community today. "While others start the weekend, they tackle and have created an oasis over the years," he said. This event was also supported by local mayor Kevin Zakostelny and VG Mayor Ralph Bothe, who underlined the importance of such initiatives for society.

Development and use of the Pfrimmgarten

The Pfrimmgarten, which extends on an area of ​​3000 square meters, was originally overgrown and wrapped. The initiative, which emerged from a herbal hike in 2014, managed to transform this place into a lively meeting point. Today the garden is used for various activities, from yoga to wedding photos. Particular attention is paid to the heart projects such as the barefoot path and the tree and nature trail. These sustainable measures not only complement the leisure activities, but also promote the protection of biodiversity, explained Ute Gödtel-Armbrust, an active member of the initiative.

With the tireless efforts of the team of "Fridays in the Pfrimmgarten", the volunteers not only created leisure activities, but also strengthened the community, as a [Nibelungen-Kurier] reported that many citizens bring cake by to express their thanks. The district administrator emphasized how important volunteering for society is: "Without volunteering, our society would be unthinkable," he said and was able to rely on the numerous positive feedback from the population.

To master any challenges in the future, such as nature conservation and the promotion of biodiversity, is of great importance. The award of the initiative is another example of the role model function of civic engagement in the region.
