Wersten, Düsseldorf: Mixed results for the mayor at "Büdchen open" event
In the heart of Wersten, Germany, the summer of 2025 promises a series of exciting events and initiatives. Let's delve into the highlights of what's in store.
Firstly, the Werstener Bee Run, an annual running event, is set to take place on Saturday, May 24. The 5 km and 10 km runs will cost 13 euros each, while the Bambini run will be priced at 5 euros. The start and finish of the run will be at the Werstener Green Belt Auf'm Rott. Due to a lack of on-site parking facilities, participants are encouraged to travel by foot, bicycle, or bus.
For those interested in running, the start times are 10 am for the 5 km, 11 am for the 10 km, and 1:30 pm for the Bambini run. The race results will be recorded via race result.com with a transponder.
Moving on, the cultural hut at Werstener Dorfstraße 161, known as "Waeschte161", officially began on Sunday. This hut, initially planned for demolition, was saved by a group of Wersteners who transformed it into a cultural hub and meeting point. The hut is recognised as non-profit and can issue donation receipts.
Waeschte161 is actively participating in Büdchen Day 2025, which takes place on August 30. For more information and registration for the Werstener Bee Run, guests are advised to visit the official website or check social media pages.
Apart from the Bee Run, Waeschte161 hosts various activities. For instance, a gardening group meets every Tuesday from 5 to 7 pm, and a construction group joins on Thursdays from 5 pm to work on the renovation of the kiosk.
The hut also requires sponsors and helping hands for the renovation of the kiosk. More details can be found on their website or by contacting them directly.
As the summer unfolds, Wersten will transform the Brückerbach into a festival area for three days: September 19 to 21.
Lastly, classical music enthusiasts can look forward to a performance by the lake on August 23. Meanwhile, up-and-coming bands can secure a performance at Rock am Bach this year through a contest on June 28 at the AWO Aktiv-Treff.
For those who enjoy a beer and a good time, there's "Werstener Beer Mats" on July 18 and 19.
