Bieber's District Office Extension Continues Through 2026
In the heart of Offenbach, the district office on Bieber Street continues to serve as a vital hub for the community, offering a space for meetings, events, and civic engagement. Despite facing financial difficulties due to a reduction in urban development funding, the city council has decided to continue renting the district office, with plans to introduce a rental fee to help cover operating costs.
The district office plays a crucial role in the implementation of Offenbach's urban development program, "Vibrant Centers", and acts as a central point of contact for the neighbourhood. According to Councilman Paul-Gerhard Weiß, the office is an indispensable part of community engagement and a place for residents to meet and discuss local issues.
The district office offers around 100 square meters of space for various events and meetings, including workshops, advisory services, and meetings of the district architect. Local committees and working groups also use the rooms for their regular meetings.
Financial challenges due to reduced funding have been imposed on the district office, with the actual impact on the budget yet to be determined with the respective annual closings. However, the city council has made it clear that the district office will remain a central meeting point for civic engagement, despite potential financial challenges in the future.
To help compensate for the lost funds, a rental fee will be introduced for the use of the rooms at the district office. The revenues from the rental fee are expected to cover expenses such as telephone, internet, and necessary equipment renewals. The city's costs for the district office are not expected to be significantly covered by the rental fee revenues.
The district office in Bieber Street will continue to serve as a central point of contact for the neighbourhood until at least September 30, 2026. The city aims to extend the use of the district office until the end of the core area management contract in September 2027.
The district office's central concern is to develop and drive projects for the cores of Bieber and Bürgel within the framework of the urban development program "Vibrant Centers". The office's dedication to the community remains unwavering, even as it navigates the financial challenges brought about by the reduced urban development funding.
For those seeking more detailed information about the district office's financial situation or related municipal policies, local government financial reports or Offenbach municipal communications would be the most direct sources to consult.

The office is also a hub for regular meetings of local committees and working groups discussing general-news and community engagement issues.
