To mark the end of the test space, the Ilse-Kibgis-Platz will once again become a place of ideas

On September 11, 2026, the temporary test space at the Ilse-Kibgis-Platz in Gelsenkirchen-Horst will come to an end. For the conclusion, the city, together with the project Prima.Klima.Horst, invites everyone to help dismantle the area, engage in conversations, and experience the ideas that emerged during the testing period directly on site.

A trial space that has changed everyday life

The Ilse-Kibgis-Platz was redesigned as a temporary test space as part of a feasibility study to test new design ideas in a real-use context. Instead of just discussing plans, visitors were able to experience how seating, greenery, and other elements affect the neighborhood. This approach to event planning makes the format so exciting: it combines urban development, participation, and immediate audience sentiment.

Dismantling with added value instead of just removal

The conclusion is more than a formal endpoint. Many of the materials used will be reused, and selected plants, tools, and other items can be taken away. This makes the event a practical example of circular economy and sustainable urban development. Those who stop by will experience a calm but very lively event experience with real neighborhood connection.

Why the place is important for Horst

The Ilse-Kibgis-Platz is considered a central square in the district and is currently heavily used as a parking lot. Ongoing participation processes show how intensely the questions of stay quality, greenery, climate adaptation, and parking spaces are being discussed on site. The final event bundles this debate in an open, approachable atmosphere and gives the community space for exchange, reflection, and new perspectives.

Who should attend this event

The event is aimed at residents of Horst as well as everyone interested in experiencing urban development, not just reading about it. Those who are interested in climate-adapted open spaces, participation formats, and local transformation will gain an authentic insight into modern neighborhood development.

Conclusion: The final event for the temporary test space Ilse-Kibgis-Platz combines dismantling, encounters, and sustainable ideas into a special date in the Horst district. Anyone who wants to see how urban development becomes tangible on site should experience this event live.
