From January 1, 2025, new guidelines for the disposal of residual waste bins and organic waste bins will come into force. This affects all federal citizens and all tenants. From next year, there will be a residual waste ban for some materials. What consumers/tenants should note: A new law ensures that from 2025, old clothes can no longer be disposed of in residual waste - even if they are damaged - but must be disposed of in used clothing containers. The change is intended to help enable more recycling and thus focus on sustainability here too. The textiles affected are not just clothing; in addition to old T-shirts, jeans or jackets, bed linen, towels or curtains should now also be thrown into the used clothing container. The in-house residual waste is therefore prohibited for all textiles. The reason for this is that these goods should no longer be burned or dumped, but can be reused or recycled. As the North Rhine-Westphalia Consumer Advice Center explains, the clothing industry produces more greenhouse gases than all international flights and ships combined. For this reason, in the future all textiles should only be disposed of in used clothing containers to ensure better recycling of textile materials. Another change from January 1, 2025 concerns the stricter separation of organic waste. In particular, this involves a limit for "contaminants" that make the production of high-quality compost from organic waste increasingly complicated and expensive for waste management companies. Although there is a waste separation requirement in Germany, unfortunately too much of the wrong waste - so-called contaminants - ends up in the organic waste bin, which is why a new law will soon come into force. Every consumer should actually know which substances can be put in organic waste. Nevertheless, permitted substances are listed here again: Compostable waste such as unpackaged food, solid food scraps, cheese and bread scraps, pasta, salad, fruit and vegetable waste, eggshells, coffee and tea grounds, but also leftovers from gardening such as flowers, leaves, grass clippings and weeds, hay, straw and wood chips (but not materials contaminated with feces or urine such as animal litter), potted plants without plant pots, egg cartons, napkins and kitchen paper. Unfortunately, the organic waste bins are often filled with the wrong waste. It is not permitted to dispose of glass, plastic, plastic bags, cans, aluminum foil, beverage cartons, diapers and other hygiene products, liquid food scraps, ash, cigarette butts, vacuum cleaner bags, garbage, leather, wool and textiles, cat litter and other animal excrement, wood and coated paper (including baking paper), large-volume green waste such as tree or shrub cuttings in the organic waste. It is also forbidden to throw oils, fats and thick pieces of wood into the organic waste bin. Paper should be disposed of via the paper collection. However, small amounts of newspaper are also permitted in organic waste, for example to absorb moisture in the bin. Egg cartons can also be disposed of with the waste paper, provided they are free of contamination such as egg residue or chicken droppings. In order to prevent the incorrect filling of the residual waste and organic waste bins in the future, high fines will soon be threatened for incorrect waste separation. Each municipality sets the level of the fines with which these administrative offences are punished within the framework of a catalogue of fines. Fines of up to 2,500 euros can be imposed for serious violations. From May 1, 2025, an extension of the 2022 Organic Waste Ordinance will also come into force. If checks reveal more than three percent of foreign substances in an organic waste bin, emptying can be refused. As a result, full organic waste bins are left standing and waste offenders have to take care of the disposal themselves. This means that the tenants themselves are responsible! For this reason, in your own interest, we ask you to follow the new guidelines for waste disposal in residual waste bins and organic waste bins. Information on this topic can also be found on the website of the city of Bonn at www.Bonn.de / www.bonnorange.de Your MIWO team

The MIWO has a guiding principle. The idea of building and living with cultural responsibility. As a family-run company, the community aspect is particularly important to us. This is reflected in our architecture and in our housing stock. As a rental housing construction and management company, we have been dealing with people's homes and living spaces on a daily basis since 1952. Our cultural commitment has this too. Architecture creates spatial structures for human interaction. Art creates new spaces of perception. We combine both in our project series "kunstundwohnen" and "architekturundkunst". The dialogue between art and architecture is the focus of the MIWO commitment. In many MIWO new building projects since the mid-1990s, the installation of art has been an integral part of the architectural design. We open up our existing portfolio of residential complexes and apartments to artistic interventions that reinterpret the given architectural structures and positively change the living environment of our tenants. The aim of our commitment is to promote contemporary art and architecture while at the same time shaping the quality of life in the community. Focused on young positions in contemporary art, we also feel committed to the dynamic cultural scene in the Bonn/Cologne region out of conviction. MIWO Gesellschaft mbH & Co.

with Oliver Schuß, Lynn Al-Abiad and architecture by Uwe Schröder Vernissage on September 19th, 2024, 7 p.m. Exhibition period: September 20th - October 13th, 2024 Open every Saturday and Sunday, 12 p.m. - 6 p.m. and by arrangement (inquiries to info@leflash.de) Save Me a Place is divided into two thematic areas that show architectural and social spaces and involve the residents of the exhibition venue. The exhibition venue is the Prager Höfe by the architect Uwe Schröder, which can be found not far from the Auerberger Mitte in Bonn. The two courtyards combine to form a shared living space, which, through the architectural connections - from the ceiling, the courtyards to the central communal cellar - makes it possible for individuals to come together, from which a collective life emerges. Everyday sounds of the residents are transported through the basement and an 'art room' that connects the three levels of each house with a spiral staircase. Solitary and individual living in the houses fluctuates between distance & closeness and privacy & intimacy. The exhibition shows two artists on the architectural and social topics in the central basement, which is parallel to the communal courtyard. The presentation is complemented by a sound installation that emerges as a collective work of the residents. The architectural spaces are taken up by the works of Oliver Schuß, who shows wall objects made of steel and works specially developed for the location in the inner courtyard. The wall objects vary a handy (portrait) format and are set off individually through proportions and color, but remain recognizable as related to each other through their basic shape. With slits, openings and breaks in the surfaces of the works, he encourages visitors to experience new perspectives and reflect on ordinary points of view. His works stand alone and yet fit into the space with which they correspond. In the context of the exhibition, this stimulates the visitors' thoughts about where they are geographically, but also what connections there are to the other rooms. For this purpose, sight lines to the art rooms of the individual apartments are made accessible. The social space that allows and encourages coexistence through the connecting architecture of the Prague courtyards is taken up in Lynn Al-Abiad's series of works. Her photographs show sections of her home in Beirut. Photographs of the interiors and the surroundings show a life that takes place in private and public spaces and with which she has an intimate relationship. Even if they have different layers, she sees her works above all as an invitation into her home. The photographs convey a closeness to the place and to the people depicted, who are sometimes more clearly recognizable, sometimes more unclearly, and leave room for individual references. The invitation to the artist's home can be understood as a counterpart to the invitation to the private rooms of the Prager Höfe, which are accessible during the exhibition. About the artists: Oliver Schuß (*1985, lives and works in Bonn and Karlsruhe) studied painting and graphics at the State Academy of Fine Arts Karlsruhe under Prof. Meuser (2005 - 2011). His work to date includes the media of drawing and sculpture. The wall objects, mostly made of painted steel, pose questions about the understanding of perspectives and invite viewers to experience spatiality in a new way. They formulate basic geometric shapes and break them up using kinks, bends, notches and perforations. Due to the curvature of the material, the objects lean from the wall into the room, creating shadows that draw the concrete object into abstraction. He has been regularly represented in exhibitions since 2009 and most recently exhibited in Offenburg and Munich (both in 2024). In 2023 he most recently won the NEUSTARTplus work scholarship, which is awarded by the Stiftung Kunstfonds. Lynn Al-Abiad (*1995, lives and works in Cologne) studied Cinema and Audiovisual Directing at the L'Academie Libanaise des Beaux-Arts in Beirut and currently at the Art Academy in Cologne (KHM), with a focus on photography. Her series of works always have a personal connection and depict places, people and nature. In doing so, she reveals privacy and memories that lie in nearby surroundings as well as in her hometown of Beirut. The theme of home is omnipresent in her work and is treated in different ways. In addition to different places, she also creates references to nature, which she sees as the home of every person. The artist has exhibited her series of works at the Case project space in Cologne, among others. Curated by Leonie Cecilia Pietrovicci Photographs of art / architecture can be found in the documents attached below. The exhibition is promoted and supported by: AStA University of Bonn, Student Parliament University of Bonn, Le Flash – The cultural magazine from the Rhineland

This concerns all tenants of MIWO Imminent danger from invasive hornet species A dangerous invasive hornet species, the "Asian hornet Vespa velutina", is currently spreading in Europe. It has already been sighted several times in the Bonn area and in the Rhein-Sieg district (and has been successfully removed professionally). The "Asian hornet Vespa velutina" prefers to build its nests in dense hedges, ground cover, ivy, and treetops. This species of hornet is very dangerous and attacks its "intruders" immediately if the nest is shaken. Just a few stings can be life-threatening. You can find further important information on the subject of the Asian hornet Vespa velutina on the website: https://vespa-velutina.nrw Please also inform your family members, relatives, friends, and neighbors of the great danger. Above all, you should inform your children about the impending danger and not let them play unsupervised in bushes, gardens, or parks. Before use, please carefully and attentively search the playground and your terraces / balconies for nests. We have also sensitized our gardeners and caretakers to this issue and to carefully monitor all MIWO sites, as they look after the green spaces and in particular the hedges and are therefore also directly at risk. If you discover a nest on your balcony, terrace, on our premises or on public green spaces, do not hesitate to contact the following specialist immediately (including at weekends for emergencies involving wasps and hornets) and seek advice: Mr. Klaus Maresch, telephone number: 0228 97638460; mobile: 015209795271. Mr. Maresch, also known to the "Lower Nature Conservation Authority of Bonn" as well as the "Lower Nature Conservation Authority of the Rhein-Sieg District", has been working in and around Bonn for many years as a reliable advisor and relocator for all things related to the "buzzing guild". Please note that removing nests, e.g. of wasps, bees and hornets, which are not aggressive and dangerous, may incur costs for you! Stay alert! Your MIWO team

This year 2022 we have again implemented an art project as part of "kunstundwohnen". We were able to win over the artist Lorenzo Pompa for this. Lorenzo Pompa chose the stairwell at Lutfridstraße 14 in Bonn and realized his mural there with the working title "Ups & Downs (reflections and involvements in dayly life)". The artist has installed a mural in the stairwell of Lutfridstraße 14 – incorporating mirrors of various sizes, which were positioned in such a way that the stairwell appears to be extended. The color palette moves between Goya yellow and brown and a mixed thorough black tone. The artist realized his work in September 2022 and has enriched the "Lutfridstrasse Art Quarter" with another art object. Lorenzo Pompa, born in Krefeld in 1962, grew up in Rome, studied architecture 1984-86 in Rome and 1993-96 at the Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences, 1997-2003 studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy with Georg Herold, has lived and worked in Düsseldorf since 1992.

Haus im Burggarten www.burggartenbonn.de The “Haus im Burggarten” is located at Burggartenstraße 27 with its high-quality apartments – which in turn have sophisticated floor plans. It is located in the beautiful old building district in Bonn-Poppelsdorf. The apartments are between approx. 14 and 23 square meters and each one has a modern sleeping gallery, which is not listed in the living space. This offers an additional 6 square meters of usable space. On the gallery you can prepare a cozy place to sleep and also set up a small sideboard. The apartments each have a kitchenette (fridge and 2-plate stove) and a shower room with beautiful built-in walls. The floors of the apartments are laid out with oak mosaic parquet. Wall cladding, railings and ladders in the galleries are made of fine oak. The high-quality material was also carefully chosen for the kitchen fittings and the built-in walls in the bathrooms. In addition, the apartments are equipped with heavy cotton curtains, which are used to darken the windows and the gallery. In the neighboring house, washing machines and dryers are available to residents for a fee. The trendy district of Poppelsdorf is known for its hustle and bustle and is not only appreciated by young people for its close proximity to the university, city center and Bonn hotspots.

Prager Höfe (Bonn 2004-2009) The Prager Höfe in Auerberg represent an ideal-typical living model for single people. They are study objects of individual life plans, located on the outskirts of the city. The Auerberg district of Bonn has a wide range of building types that were particularly tried and tested in the post-war years, with the row house type predominating. In addition, some point buildings set height dominants. More detached buildings can be found in modest residential buildings from more recent times. In this context, the Prager Höfe establish a city model of its own order: the courtyard, a translation of the square into the scale of the house, binds each of the houses into a self-sufficient unit and at the same time links it to the surrounding space. The courtyard houses are each developed on a square floor plan, with the courtyard raised above street level being surrounded by four buildings arranged at an angle. Its removal supports the idea of privatizing the area that can be accessed via outside stairs, which also embodies the center of the four houses. Each of these houses an apartment on their upper floors; analogous to the gradual privatization of the exterior by raising the courtyard, the public area of the apartment is arranged on the ground floor, while the private rooms are on the upper floor. Below the courtyard, the motif of the common center is repeated in the form of a use-neutral space that is reserved for the residents of the houses. The courtyard houses enter into a dialogue with the neighboring Prague residential courtyards Auerberg through their materiality, but also ideally. The latter also concede a living model based on the coexistence of individual living units grouped around common courtyards. While the focus there is on the variation of the terraced house model, the Prager Höfe offer an alternative model for living alone, in which each resident is assigned their own house within their shared apartment. The individual is a visible part of the city here. The Prager Höfe are located close to the Rhine in a new development area, in a quiet residential area on the northern outskirts of Bonn, in Auerberg. Here you will find plenty of shopping facilities, higher schools and the Sportpark Nord with swimming pool in the immediate vicinity. Auerberg has good transport connections, the center can be reached quickly by bus and train. The A 565 motorway connection is only a few minutes away. Photo: Stefan Müller, Berlin

ELEVATORESK Roman Lang In 2021, after a long break, we implemented art projects again as part of "kunstundwohnen". For the art and living project in 2021, the artist Roman Lang chose the stairwell at Lutfridstraße 7 and realized his colourful, illusionistic mural "ELEVATORESK" there, which clearly borrows from Op Art and, like this, creates spatial structures solely through painting " pretends". Roman Lang plans colored rectangular bodies that seem to jut out diagonally from the wall to the front or upwards. This spatial effect will be seen most clearly when going up or down the stairwell, thus absorbing the movements of the residents. The color palette moves between muted blue and orange tones, light turquoise and green as well as violet and red fields. The artist Roman Lang, born in 1976 in Neumarkt/ Oberpfalz, lives and works in Düsseldorf and Bonn. He studied with Ben Willikens at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich and was a scholarship holder of the Studienstiftung. Lang has participated in numerous international solo and group exhibitions. www.roman-lang.com With these interventions in close proximity to Karim Noureldin's “Tupelo”, Esther Stocker's “Geometria” and Jan van der Ploeg's “Wall Painting No. 412”, which were also created in the Kunstundwohnen series, the “Lutfridstraße art district” will be enriched by another art object.
