Ammerland Check 2025: How to rate your community for free!

An exciting project is coming up in the Ammerland region in the coming weeks that will put the quality of life in the communities to the test. Citizens have until November 2nd to give their opinions on topics such as traffic, safety, family friendliness and housing. The big Ammerland check, organized by the NWZ, promises not only valuable insights, but also the chance of winning a great prize. An e-bike worth 1,999 euros will be raffled off among all participants.

The survey includes almost 40 questions that are rated on a scale from 1 (negative) to 10 (positive). Among other things, she asks about quality of life, gastronomy, culture and medical care. There is also a free text field in which suggestions and wishes can be expressed. The results of the Ammerland Check will be published from mid-November and not only offer an average value for the entire region, but also detailed insights into the individual communities. The first Ammerland check in 2020 was already a complete success, with 6,546 people taking part and achieving an average of 6.9 points, with a need for action being identified, particularly in the real estate market. The survey is intended to once again help to increase the pressure on politics and administration and to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the communities. Current information about the survey can be found at NWZ.
