What sort of website is this?

The Aufbruch am Arrenberg e.V. website is no ordinary website. It features app-style functions and facilitates digital interaction within the neighbourhood.

Once you’ve registered, you can create posts on this page, like other posts and leave comments. And the unique thing about it is that all the latest news is displayed on the so-called Bitfaß columns – these are street displays set up at prominent locations in our neighbourhood. There, anyone can find out what’s currently happening in the neighbourhood.

If you’d like to know more about how this works on your mobile phone, ask the friendly team at PIKSL, who’ll be happy to help you free of charge. You’ll find them at our club premises at Fröbelstraße 1a.
