In response to inquiries, I have updated the text: You do not need to live in Cologne to sign. Change here sends a signal to all cities, which is why every single vote from across Germany matters


New justification:

Important for everyone: You don’t need to be from Cologne to sign! Every vote counts. If we achieve change here, we set an example for all our cities. Join in!

As a Cologne resident, I've witnessed for years how high rents and monocultures are changing our neighborhoods: traditional shops are disappearing, and litter and public urination are on the rise.

My goal isn't bans, but rather a harmonious community: clean streets, affordable spaces for local businesses, and preserving our neighborhood identity.

To ensure this isn't just wishful thinking, I've already submitted an official citizen's petition (§ 24 GO NRW) to the City of Cologne – including concrete solutions and the relevant legal framework (from the Building Code and the Packaging Act to city bylaws).

I sincerely ask for your signature:

Let's show together how much we care about the future of our neighborhoods.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your time, your vote, and your commitment to our Cologne!
