  • Test room phase 2 starts - shaping the future together!

    Dear test community,

    Your commitment, your ideas and your time are worth their weight in gold to us! We are incredibly grateful to have you as part of our test pioneers and at the heart of the OTiS project. Without you, much of what we are planning would only be theory - thanks to you, it is becoming a living reality for our city.

    Now it's time for the next, exciting round: Phase 2 sees the start of the digital survey in the public space for the test room - and we need YOU for this!

    A quick look back: what phase 1 has already revealed to us: In December, with your help, we surveyed the first visitors to the test space using a digital query box (the Citizen Dialog Kit - CDK for short). Your feedback was super valuable! We now know, for example, that most people visited the test room deliberately, often for the second time, and many had already bought something. This shows us that the test room is attractive and offers real added value.

    Phase 2 needs YOU in the public space: Since January 28, 2026 and until February 17, we have been collecting even more feedback. We are once again using our clever digital survey boxes (CDK) at two highly visible locations:

    1. directly on Grosse Marktstrasse, near the test room.

    2. near the playground next to the town hall.

    Your input is the key to getting a complete picture and being able to develop targeted measures. Because even if the test room is still unknown or you have not yet been able to visit the test room, this is also an important insight for us.

    What does this mean for you as a test community?

    You are right in the middle of it! You have the unique opportunity to play an active role in shaping urban development in Offenbach.

    Your voice carries weight! Your feedback flows directly into our analysis and planning. You are real co-creators of Offenbach's digital future.

    You are part of a special community! You belong to a committed group of people who are making a difference together and actively shaping their city.

    We in the OTiS team are thrilled by your commitment and enthusiasm. Your curiosity, your commitment and your critical eye are the engine that drives OTiS and our city forward.

    So, what are you waiting for? Go to one of the two polling boxes by February 17. It only takes a few minutes.

    Do you have any questions? Don't hesitate to contact us at any time. We are always open to your suggestions and look forward to exchanging ideas with you.

    Best regards and looking forward to your valuable feedback,
    Your Team OTiS
