Coffee bet for the cold: five districts fight for the best coffee!

Tension in Berlin! The coffee bet against the cold starts a new round and captivates five districts this year. From January 8th to 20th, 2025, citizens are called to donate coffee for the cold aid. In addition to Neukölln and Reinickendorf, Lichtenberg, Spandau and Tempelhof-Schöneberg are now also coming to collect as much coffee as possible. This not only promotes help, but financial rewards for the districts that achieve their goal are also promoted. The focus is on committed retailers Michael Lind and Ralf Oelmann, who challenge the mayors. For each collected package of coffee over 500 waves 2,500 euros to the cold help organization in the respective districts, such as The competition for the best district

The competition originated in 2019 when Martin Hikel, the mayor of Neukölln, bet against Michael Lind. The campaign grew over the years and already reached Reinickendorf in 2023. "We have shown how much we can achieve together in recent years," says Hikel optimistically. The collected coffee packages go to various cold help facilities, including the emergency overnight accommodation of the Kubus Society in Neukölln, where homeless men are offered warm accommodation during the cold months, as well as berliner-woche.de . The district mayors also show up positively: they are confident about the helpfulness of their citizens.

The challenges are clear: Who manages to collect most of the packages and to experience the cheers about victory in the coffee bet soon? The evaluation of the exciting campaign takes place on January 21, 2025, accompanied by the district citizens and retailers. An event that will provide excitement and community spirit in the affected districts in the next few days!
