The new issue of the city's senior citizens' magazine "Mitten im Leben - Mitten in Bonn" 1/2025 has arrived. The magazine, which is sponsored by the Bonn Altenhilfe foundation, will soon be available free of charge at administrative offices and meeting places.

In the cover story this time, Azra Zürn, the new Head of the Department for Schools, Social Affairs and Youth of the City of Bonn, takes on the famous questionnaire that Marcel Proust once answered twice. In an interview, she talks about the professional experience she brings with her to the Bonn head of department and how she recharges her batteries in her free time.

Other topics in this issue include a new cooperative housing project in Bad Godesberg, the work in Bonn's inpatient hospice at the Johanniter-Waldkrankenhaus and issues relating to retirement provision. In addition, this time the Office for Integration and Diversity introduces itself in the "Transparent administration" series.

Of course, there is also news for older people in Bonn. And an entertaining crossword puzzle.
