White Dinner, Saturday, August 23, 2025 - canceled

Unfortunately, we have to cancel the event due to health concerns on the part of the organizers and the weather forecast. If there is a rescheduled date, we will announce it here.

Panel discussion, Friday, August 29, 2025 – 6 p.m.

The American settlement in Plittersdorf is currently once again a topic of public discussion. That is why the association “Rettet die Amerikanische Siedlung Plittersdorf e.V.” (Save the American Settlement Plittersdorf) invites you to discuss the following topics:

American Embassy Club - Open Embassy for Democracy Project - Is the project in danger of failing?
Massive tree felling in spring – why were so many trees cut down? No replanting in sight!
Increasing crime in the neighborhood—burglaries and property damage are on the rise. What plans does local government have to stop this trend?

Members of Bonn City Council, Bad Godesberg District Council, and representatives of Vebowag and its supervisory board will address current issues in a panel discussion organized by RASP. During the event, the audience will also have the opportunity to ask questions. We look forward to a constructive exchange and hope to see many of you there.
