There are 45 benches in the six districts of Mittelstetten - nice places to rest and look out, if they are cared for.
Mittelstetten – Volunteers from the Mittelstetten village revitalization association recently made sure that this is the case.
Worked for six days.
"Apart from a candy wrapper and an empty champagne bottle on the most remote bench in the community, we didn't find any rubbish," reports Gebhard Dörr, cashier at the village revitalization association.
Therefore, his “Thanks goes to all users.
You're happy to help take care of the benches every year." Because even without rubbish, the helpers of the "Clean benches in our landscape 2022" campaign had a lot to do.
(
By the way: Everything from the region is now also available in our regular
FFB newsletter.)
With six other club members, he was out and about with brush cutters, lawn trimmers, hedge trimmers and cleaning materials to make the benches accessible - grass and undergrowth were removed - and to clean them thoroughly.
Dörr says: "Of course, the ravages of time gnaw at the benches." As part of the campaign, the need for restoration or repairs was noted.
The association also takes care of this – if there are private donors or owners, in cooperation with them, including the municipal administration.
"Now it's fun again to sit down on a bench in a nice place in the community": That is the conclusion of the helpers Walther Matthes, Magda Schebesta, Jeannette Franz, Elke Loibl and Katharina Schlamp.
Cyclist Kuno Scharpf has another special tip ready: there is always a folded, waterproof seat pad in his backpack, so that he can take a break on a bench even after a downpour.
