Village digital service expansion through LEADER projects in Voßwinkel and Bruchhausen, promoting advanced technology for rural communities

In the heart of Westphalia, the city of Arnsberg is taking a significant step towards sustainable and future-oriented village development. Mayor Ralf Paul Bittner has announced the installation of digital info-terminals in the districts of Voßwinkel and Bruchhausen, scheduled for October 2025.

These modern, wheelchair-accessible devices will offer a wealth of information to citizens and visitors alike. From current events and activities to tourist attractions, city information, and sustainable city tips, the info-terminals aim to provide a one-stop resource for all things Arnsberg.

The project, funded as LEADER small projects, is led by the department for sustainable development of the city of Arnsberg, in cooperation with other departments and local communities. The necessary earthworks and infrastructure requirements, such as power and internet connections, are mainly provided by the city's green space management.

The digital info-terminals are an integral part of Arnsberg's smart city strategy and sustainability goals, reinforcing the development of the villages in the context of Arnsberg's village concept. They are designed with a user-friendly touchscreen interface, making it easy for everyone to access the information they need.

The official kick-off for the digital info-terminals in Voßwinkel's village square and Bruchhausen's church square will be accompanied by media presentations. These presentations will take place on various platforms, including the websites of the city of Arnsberg and local communities, aiming to make the on-site information offer more attractive.

The media presentations serve to emphasize the role of sustainable digitalization in Arnsberg's smart city strategy and village development. They also aim to enhance the appeal of the on-site information provided by the digital info-terminals, encouraging more engagement and participation from the community.

The project is modeled after the "5 for South Westphalia" project, aiming to combine village life and digital participation. By providing accessible and up-to-date information, the digital info-terminals aim to foster a sense of community and promote digital literacy in the region.

The digital info-terminals in the villages of Voßwinkel and Bruchhausen are primarily financed by the local municipality and regional development funds. This investment in digital infrastructure is a small building block of Arnsberg's vision for a sustainable and future-oriented city, with plans to gradually expand the use of these info-terminals throughout the city.

In conclusion, the installation of digital info-terminals in Voßwinkel and Bruchhausen is a significant step forward for Arnsberg's smart city strategy and sustainability goals. By providing accessible and up-to-date information, these devices aim to foster a sense of community and promote digital literacy in the region, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable and future-oriented city.
