Large-scale "Soundproof Rooms"
In Dortmund's Innenstadt-Ost district, a series of events called "Cool Spaces" will be held from June 4th to August 27th to help residents combat intense heat. The Senior Citizens' Office, AGARD e.V., ExtraPlatz Wambel DOGEWO21, and the Family Office Innenstadt-Ost have collaborated to offer free, participatory activities at cool locations during this period.
With high building density and low ventilation, the city center tends to heat up significantly during warm days. The stored heat can linger even at night, causing elevated temperatures. To alleviate this issue, those living in heated spaces are advised to seek cool environments for two to three hours each day. To cater to this need, four facilities in Innenstadt-Ost have been designated as cool spots for the public from June 4th to August 27th. These locations will provide valuable information and cool-down activities during hot days and offer guidance on handling extreme temperatures. Some events demand advance registration.
For more information about the "Cool Spaces" program, interested citizens can refer to the event series flyer or contact the Senior Citizens' Office Innenstadt-Ost at (0231) 50 27 800 or by email: [email protected].
