Back to the dialogue: The healthy corner revitalizes favorites
In the Trostviertel in Favoriten, the neighborhood is visibly changing. Pharmacist Max Wellan has made it his mission to create a social meeting place that is reminiscent of the previous Bassena meetings. The area used to be barely livable, but the opening of the subway has brought a new dynamic to the area.
The “healthy corner” has become increasingly important as a central contact point for health topics and social interaction. A diverse mix of professionals such as doctors, personal trainers and other health providers meet here to offer people comprehensive care. The herb garden in front of the pharmacy not only offers a helpful opportunity for relaxation, but also an opportunity to learn about various herbs used in traditional medicine.
Stay active with Nordic walking
Another highlight is the weekly Nordic walking station every Wednesday at 10 a.m., which is open free of charge to all interested residents of the district. This initiative emphasizes the importance of exercise and community exercise and strengthens the connection between residents.
In addition to health activities, emphasis is also placed on social exchange. The pharmacy has a “happy chair” where users can strengthen their pelvic floor muscles with special training. Max Wellan emphasizes the importance of “health gossip”, which enables a return to the old, sociable meetings around the Bassena. Sharing allows important information about health and wellness to be shared, strengthening the community.
A new project in the neighborhood is the Laaerberg Children's Health Center, which is located directly near the school on Klausenburger Straße. This center offers targeted health services for children and fits seamlessly into the “healthy corner” initiative, which focuses on promoting health throughout the neighborhood.
Max Wellan's efforts show how an engaged community with creative ideas and strong social cohesion can bring about positive change. His belief that the focus is on people and conversations illustrates how important social connections are for health. Overall, the “healthy corner” in Favoriten has not only increased the quality of life, but also promoted a healthy and active community.
