"Babbelbänke" - To babble on the park bench

A lady and a gentleman are sitting on a bench in a square in Hainhausen with lots of greenery.


The idea

Anyone who takes a seat on the "Babbelbank" is signalling openness to a communicative exchange. It can be used at any time to get into conversation with other people and make new contacts. This is also intended to encourage older people, for example, who often have fewer social contacts, to get to know their neighbours.

Locations of the Babbel benches

In every Rodgau neighbourhood there is a bench marked with a small brass "Babbelbank" sign.
