Kulturraffinerie K714: Kulturraffienrie K714 – Aufbruch oder letzter Akt am Rhein?
Monheim hat eine der höchsten Pro-Kopf-Verschuldungen Deutschlands. Nun eröffnet die Stadt den modernsten Konzertsaal Europas. Wie passt das zusammen? Ein Ortsbesuch.
Monheim am Rhein is home to a geysir that sprays water from its base near the Rhine riverbank, depending on the amount of solar energy collected. The city displays a digital display at the bus station to indicate how charged the geysir's battery is. Additionally, Monheim features a pyramid art installation by Heinz Mack from the 1980s, which will now be mirrored by another pyramid so that their peaks touch.
The city also offers free public transportation, a swan motif as its traffic light emblem similar to Berlin's traffic light mascot, and comprehensive free Wi-Fi throughout the city. Moreover, Monheim provides free kindergarten spaces and new school buildings. With a population of around 43,000, Monheim is one of Germany's most indebted municipalities. However, starting in September, the city will be home to Europe's most modern concert hall.
