Paunsdorf: The 'Crazy' inspires back in the neighborhood after renovation!

Zum Wäldchen 6, 04329 Leipzig, Deutschland - The open leisure club "Crazy" in Paunsdorf opened its doors again after two years of renovation and modernization on June 22, 2025. According to L-I>, the costs for the comprehensive work are around 2.5 million euros. The location at the address for the Wäldchen 6 will now be accessible, which makes it easier for everyone to use the meeting.

The new facilities includes a carport for the municipal play mobile "CrazyCar". Mayor Vicki Felthaus praised the renovation and underlined the importance of the "crazy" as the central component of child and youth welfare in Paunsdorf. The leisure meeting can now better respond to the needs and wishes of the Paunsdorf children and adolescents.

Various offers for all age groups

The "crazy" is not only aimed at children, but is a point of contact for young people and the elderly. It offers a variety of leisure opportunities such as billiards, darts, table football, table tennis, game consoles as well as board and card games. Sports activities such as football and basketball are also on the program. Creative offers in the form of ceramic workshops, baking courses and yoga complete the versatile offer.

Almost half of the children and adolescents under the age of 15 in Paunsdorf are entitled to control, which underlines the importance of the meeting. The need for social interactions and extra -curricular education is high here. Around 50 young people use the “Crazy” every day, with almost 80% of them being migrants. This demographic composition brings specific challenges, especially in the areas of health and education, as well as Linxxnet reports.

commitment and co -determination

The inclusion of users has established a newly founded youth advisory board who actively participates in the design of the leisure meeting. This not only promotes the participation of young people, but also strengthens the sense of community in the district. Local politics, especially the left -wing faction, has required better staffing and the necessary expansion and renovation of the meeting point in order to be able to better manage the social challenges.

The renovation measures were carried out in close cooperation with several offices, with funding from the "Social Cohesion" federal-state program. This support is also due to the high poverty rate in Paunsdorf and the special challenges in the region.

In summary, it can be said that the "Crazy" is not only a place for leisure activities, but also an important part of the social infrastructure in Paunsdorf, which deals with the needs of the community and offers space for development
