‘And experiencing waves lapping, birds chirping and leaves rustling in the wind – that may be poetic, but for me it's a real motivation to fight for a car-free Kiellinie. In other words, the opportunity to experience nature and open spaces in the middle of the city.’

Benjamin

“It's just so much nicer here without cars. For Kiel to be a livable city, every day should be OpenKiellinie. The car-free Kiellinie feels like a vacation in the middle of the city—with fresh air, a view of the water, and space to relax, play, and live.”

Maxie

‘The car-free redesign makes it possible to completely rethink the Kiellinie Nord as a public space and fill this valuable space, which should be there primarily for people, with new life. The outdated, car-friendly design as a supposed expressway directly on the waterfront does not correspond to contemporary mobility and urban planning.’

Julian

“I didn't really notice it before, but now that I pay attention to it, I realize how loud cars are. When they're gone, you suddenly hear the birds, the wind, the water — you can even talk to each other without being disturbed. It feels completely different.”

Sarah

“As a mother, I want a safe place where my children can play carefree and discover nature. The car-free Kiellinie, connecting the forest nursery and the fjord, makes this possible – and gives the city back a piece of its quality of life.”
