Citizen participation
DESY has an obligation to science and to the taxpayers to build the technically best, feasible large-scale facility that promises the greatest scientific gain in knowledge. At the same time, we also feel obligated to our neighbourhood. This applies to the redesign of the Lise Meitner Park, but also to other issues that affect our neighbours and residents. Therefore, we want to consider your constructive suggestions and wishes as far as possible.
It is a DESY tradition that we are in trusting contact with our neighbourhood. The good relationship with our neighbours is very important to us. To this end, the PETRA IV neighbourhood office takes care of the concerns of affected citizens and engages in an intensive dialogue.
During the construction period, we intend to inform our neighbours in good time about the upcoming work and involve them as much as possible. The City of Hamburg ensures participation of its citizens in the Science City Hamburg Bahrenfeld project. This is the responsibility of Science City Hamburg Bahrenfeld GmbH.
