Tegernheim Municipal Council: Youth Day and construction projects are coming up!

The next local council meeting will take place in Tegernheim on October 2, 2025 at 7:30 p.m. The meeting will be held in the fire station at Ringstrasse 40. There are several important items on the agenda that concern the community. Topics include approving the minutes of the previous meeting and announcing non-public resolutions.

A central point of the meeting will be the discussion about the new Youth Day and youth participation. In this context, the possibility of establishing a Youth Climate Council (JKR) is also being discussed. The Youth Climate Council offers a valuable platform that deals with climate and environmental protection and is supported by the “Youth Climate Council” project. This project provides advice and support for municipalities in Germany, both small and large.

Important topics of the meeting

In addition to youth participation, other aspects are also addressed. For example, the creation of urn graves at the New Cemetery is on the agenda. Furthermore, the small monuments in Tegernheim are a topic that should be discussed. This is about preserving the community's cultural heritage.

Another important concern is the “Natural Climate Protection in Municipalities” funding program, which is intended to enable the municipality to implement sustainable projects. Several building applications are also being discussed, including applications for building permits for a two-family home with a double garage and a new single-family home with a garage in Tegernheim.

Youth participation and democracy

The focus on youth is part of a larger program called “Democracy in Children’s Hands.” The aim is to get children actively involved in community issues. For this purpose, a toolkit was developed that offers methods, practical examples and work templates. An example of participation is the youth jury, which gives young people responsibility and allows them to take part in democratic processes.

In order to take the concerns of young people into account, mayors are seen as key figures in these participation processes. They are advised to actively support the interests of young people and to be perceived as reliable partners. Responsiveness and taking concerns seriously play an important role.

In summary, the upcoming meeting in Tegernheim offers an outstanding opportunity to hear the voice of the youth and make joint decisions for the future. Further information and support is available from the Youth Climate Council and the [Child and Youth Participation](https://www.das-zukunftspaket.de/kinder-und-jugend participation/kinder-und-jugend participation-in-der-kommune/) program.

The municipality of Tegernheim, represented by Max Kollmannsberger, its first mayor, cordially invites all interested citizens to take part in the meeting and to actively shape municipal developments.
