Welcome newcomers at the Frankfurt Newcomers Festival
Idea
Welcome newcomers at the Frankfurt Newcomers Festival Since 2001 the Newcomers Festival has been a Frankfurt am Main tradition: a family-oriented welcome fair in the Römer town hall for professional expats, international families, and anyone finding their feet in the Rhine-Main region. Each year around 60 exhibitors cover relocation, international schools, health insurance, banking and finance, driving and language schools, non-profit organisations, clubs, museums, theatres, and regional tourism. What you can do - Book a free ticket for the next edition on the Newcomers Network Events page - Compare notes on housing, schools, and daily life with visitors from dozens of countries - Stay for the entertainment programme: international musical dance groups, food stands, and local gastronomy in the Römer courtyard How it works Admission is free with registration. The 2025 festival drew more than 5,000 people from 95 countries. Solarpunker does not register you: reserve tickets through the organiser and register every guest in your party. Why it matters Frankfurt integration works better when newcomers can ask insurers, schools, and neighbours the same questions in one afternoon instead of ten separate tabs.

Close Frankfurt's compost loop at RMB
Idea
Close Frankfurt's compost loop at RMB RMB Rhein-Main Biokompost runs one of the region's modern bio-waste plants for FES Frankfurt. Kitchen and green waste ferments into biogas in about 21 days, then becomes quality compost in parallel: power for the grid and soil for your plot. What you can do - Load compost into your car at the Kofferraumservice (Mon–Fri 08:00–16:00, Sat 09:00–12:00) - Buy loose or bagged compost and garden products at the RMB Shop on site - Plan your visit via the RMB site (note the current access from Riederhofstraße) - Pair a pickup with home or community composting so Frankfurt's organics stay in local beds How it works Residents and gardeners visit Peter-Behrens-Str. 8 in Frankfurt-Ostend. The plant covers its own energy needs and feeds surplus electricity into the public grid while producing natural compost for gardens. Why it matters When bio-waste stays in a closed loop, you skip peat imports and see where your soil actually comes from: builder energy, not anonymous bags.

Take part in spring cleanups on Main, Mosel and in Frankfurt
Idea
Take part in spring cleanups on Main, Mosel and in Frankfurt Before the big September action, the network runs an early-season window on tributaries in Frankfurt. In 2026, Main, Mosel, and Kinzig cleanups are scheduled 13 to 22 March, with a Dreck-weg-Tag in Düsseldorf on 21 March. Use the river programme sites to find open groups or register your own. What you can do - Browse spring listings on MainCleanUp, MoselCleanUp, and KinzigCleanUp - Follow the CleanUp-Leitfaden for waste-office coordination and safe bank access - Join municipal formats such as Rüsselsheim's CleanUp Walks that combine Main shore work with neighbourhood Dreck-weg days - Register an open group if your stretch has no public listing yet How it works Each river hub lists upcoming public cleanups with registration forms. Organisers confirm meeting points closer to the date. Spring events prime the shore for summer use and feed into the September network day. Why it matters Tackling litter after winter floods and before peak river recreation keeps plastic and glass from drifting downstream. Spring rounds spread the work across more weekends so smaller towns can join without running a second large event alone.

Register a riverbank cleanup with your neighbou in Frankfurt
Idea
Register a riverbank cleanup with your neighbou in Frankfurt RhineCleanUp and MainCleanUp help families, clubs, and neighbourhood groups free riverbanks from litter in Frankfurt. You pick the stretch, invite helpers, and RhineCleanUp gGmbH can supply sacks, gloves, and grabbers through sponsors Postcode Lotterie and naturstrom. What you can do - Open MainCleanUp or RhineCleanUp, name your group, and register an open or private cleanup - Read the CleanUp-Leitfaden for site checks, waste-disposal coordination, and safety (stay on the bank, not in the water) - Coordinate with your local waste office before the day; report collected kilograms after the action so the network can track community impact - Download posters and flyers from the PRAKTISCHES section on your river's programme page How it works Register with an email, add date, meeting point, and whether others may join. Organisers stay on site for material hand-out, a short safety briefing, and bag drop-off as agreed with authorities. The guide suggests 1 to 1.5 hours for children and 2 to 3 hours for teens and adults. Why it matters River litter is visible, local, and fixable in an afternoon. When neighbours measure what they remove, they see how small habits upstream add up, and new groups keep returning each season.

Ask your town to join STADTRADELN in Frankfurt
Idea
Ask your town to join STADTRADELN in Frankfurt Not every street is in the game yet. Residents can ask mayors and clerks to register their Kommune so neighbours can ride together next season. Riders stay free; municipalities pay a tiered fee once they sign up. What you can do - Share stadtradeln.de/home-kommunen with councillors and show what other towns gain - Point authorised staff to Anmelden (only the municipality's official contact can complete registration) - Highlight Land fee support for participating Bundesländer on Partner regional - Mention network partners folded into regional pages (AGFK, AGFS, wegebund, RAD.SH) without needing a separate programme row How it works Klima-Bündnis Services GmbH runs STADTRADELN from Frankfurt. 2026 municipal fees (incl.

Clean up a square with friends and make it feel in Frankfurt
Idea
Clean up a square with friends and make it feel in Frankfurt Frankfurt has a small public square near almost every home: a market corner in Höchst, a quiet Platz in Nordend, a bench area in Ostend, a spot in Bockenheim or Westend. Most just need people to show up. Gather a few friends, spend an hour picking up litter together, then stay a while and enjoy the place you just cleaned. That is the whole idea, and it works because you repeat it. What you can do - Pick a square near where you live. Browse Wikimedia Commons: Squares in Frankfurt am Main for names and photos, or explore a district first on Visit Frankfurt: Frankfurter Stadtviertel (Bockenheim and Westend, the Brückenviertel in Sachsenhausen, Höchst's old town, Nordend and Bornheim, or Ostend along the Main). Well-known squares like Opernplatz, Konstablerwache, or Höchster Markt work too, but any square near you is just as good a start. - Message two to six friends who live close by and agree on a time. A Saturday morning works well. - Sign up once as a Sauberkeitspatin or Sauberkeitspate on the FES page Bürgerinnen und Bürger helfen mit. You choose the square or street, FES gives you grabbers, gloves, and bags and keeps restocking them, and you get one fixed contact person for questions. You clear small litter yourself and report anything larger, like dumped furniture, by phone or email. - Or plan a one-time group clean-up through FES Bürger-Sammeltage. Pick an upcoming date, such as the Main Cleanup on 12 September 2026 or World Cleanup Day on 20 September 2026. FES supplies the equipment and collects the waste afterward. For parks, playgrounds, or the city forest, contact the Grünflächenamt first (gruenflaechenamt@stadt-frankfurt.de), as the FES page explains. - Or join the citywide Frankfurt Cleanup weekend, run together by cleanffm and FES Frankfurt. The last edition, in March 2026, brought together more than 7,000 people across around 200 pickup points. The next one is set for 12 and 13 March 2027; registration opens closer to the date. - Add a reuse table once the litter is gone, the way Klimaschutz-Initiative Riedberg does it: lay out tools, toys, and household items nobody needs anymore so a neighbour can take them home instead of them being thrown away. - Finish by staying. Bring coffee, sit on a bench, talk to whoever passes by. That last part is what turns a cleaned square into a square people actually want to be in. How it works The Sauberkeitspate programme has run since 2000 and keeps adding people: 416 patrons by 2022, 476 by 2023, plus schools and kindergartens that care for an area as a group. You decide how large your patch is and how often you show up; there is no minimum. Bürger-Sammeltage work the same way for a single day: register, pick up gloves and bags at a collection point, clean, and FES takes the waste away afterward. Frankfurt Cleanup scales that same pattern to one weekend a year, city-wide. None of this changes who owns the square. It stays public land; you are simply the person, or group of friends, who looks after a small part of it. Why it matters Showing up for the same square more than once turns strangers into people you recognise and greet. It is a low-effort way to meet neighbours, and there is no guilt attached: you are not fixing a crisis, you are just making one place a little nicer to be in. A handful of small groups doing this across Frankfurt adds up to a city where public squares get used and looked after instead of avoided.

Join Frankfurt's water-saving pledge, one habit at a time
Idea
Join Frankfurt's water-saving pledge, one habit at a time The city's "Frankfurt spart Wasser!" campaign, now running its fourth-plus warm season, asks residents to treat drinking water as the precious resource it is as heat and drought periods stretch longer. Posters, tram wraps, and postcards carry pledges like "Ich dreh ab", "Ich spar's mir", and "Ich fang dich auf": turn it off, skip it, catch it. What you can do - Shower instead of bathing: five minutes under the shower uses roughly a third of a full bath (about 50 versus 150 litres), and a water-saving showerhead or flow restrictor cuts it further - Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth or lathering up: saving hot water saves energy too - Run washing machines and dishwashers only when full, on eco programmes, and look for water-efficient models when buying new - Water the garden or balcony pots in the morning or evening, collect rainwater in a barrel, and choose drought-tolerant plants How it works The city renews the campaign each warm season with posters on Litfaßsäulen, tram and digital ads, U-Bahn messaging, and postcards stocked at neighbourhood libraries, restaurants, and cafés. It is part of Frankfurt's municipal water concept for securing long-term supply, and even children get a turn, with a button-making station at the GrünGürtel-Tier's birthday festival. Why it matters Longer heat and dry spells are lowering groundwater levels in and around Frankfurt. None of these habits cost much, but multiplied across a city they ease pressure on a resource everyone assumes will keep flowing from the tap.

Build transition with Transition Town Frankfurt
Idea
Build transition with Transition Town Frankfurt Transition Town Frankfurt am Main e.V. links neighbourhood groups working on food, repair, forests, mobility, and education. Instead of waiting for top-down fixes, residents prototype swaps, gardens, and conferences that make a post-fossil city feel tangible. What you can do - Browse active projects (MainWäldchen, Solawi, Klimainitiative Eschersheim, Wandeltag, and more) - Sign up for the newsletter and open meetings listed on the site calendar - Propose your own block project via the Dein Projekt channel How it works Transition Town provides scaffolding: publicity, networking with German-speaking Transition hubs, and shared spaces for workshops. Each project keeps local ownership while learning from others. Why it matters Frankfurt's climate future is built by many small crews that invite neighbours in, not by guilt slogans alone.
