In Laußig, near Torgau, the local community has been awarded the prestigious title of „Landessieger“ at the Nachbarschaftspreis 2024, a reflection of their exceptional spirit of neighborliness. The accolade comes from the Stiftung nebenan.de and is celebrated enthusiastically by Florian Kern, the 28-year-old village leader and head of the Heimatherzen association. He’s proud of the recognition and credits the award to the countless hours of volunteer work put into creating a vibrant community space.
At the heart of this initiative is a stunning natural garden, crafted by local residents, including children from nearby schools. The garden features an outdoor kitchen where homegrown vegetables are cooked and shared, emphasizing sustainability. Kern notes that this lush area has become a cherished gathering place, catering to various community activities, from gardening classes to summer movies.
