Key topics of the consultation hour
As Benjamin Koppe is responsible for several central areas of the city administration as Department Head, a wide range of topics can be discussed during the consultation hour.

In addition, city budget topics, finances, and concerns from the extensive field of family and citizen services can be addressed.

The location „Am Anger“ is a central point of contact for municipal services in Jena. Important parts of the administration are located here, ensuring direct contact with the population. Regular citizen consultation hours are an established and important instrument of local politics. They are intended to make administrative processes more transparent, reduce bureaucratic hurdles, and establish a direct line between decision-makers and residents. They complement formal participation formats, such as the citizen question time in the city council, with a low-threshold, significantly more personal level.
