In order to increase the family-friendliness of the city centre, the City Management Board would like to implement supervised craft afternoons for children as a kind of "pop-up" concept during the Advent season. The supervised craft afternoons should be available without prior registration. There will be no mixing of children, so they can only take part in the whole block of two hours.

Impressions from childcare
Support from the Child and Family Specialist Office
The Child and Family Specialist Office offers a wide range of child and family services. Attending a course during the day or in the evening, an important appointment, childcare at home, excessive demands in everyday family life or no childcare in an emergency - there are many reasons why families need help. Thanks to the commitment of adult and teenage child carers, parents have valuable freedom and relief even in difficult situations.
