Döblinger wishes for 2026: health, culture and more green spaces!

New year, new wishes: Residents from the 19th district, Döbling, look to the year 2026 and express their hopes and goals. In colorful posts they share what is important to them for the coming months. No matter whether it's a flower shop, Caritas or culture - the opinions are diverse.

Sonja Joham, a dedicated florist, is particularly floristic. She is committed to the health of her customers and dreams of revitalizing Döblinger Hauptstrasse. Another concern is to support the florists' guild so that cooperation in the floral industry also flourishes.

Culture and community in focus

Thomas Appenzeller, who works at Caritas Haus Damaris, emphasizes the careful approach to life's challenges. He desires to face the flow of life with trust.

Our district museum is another point that is in focus for Brigitte Kolin, who works there as director. Their vision is to develop the museum into a cultural center that attracts visitors beyond Döbling's borders. She also hopes to spend more time with family and friends.

Markus Schmid, a motivated employee, speaks about the importance of encounters in Grätzl. His wish is for careful use and the responsible further development of the green spaces in the district, which are important for everyone.

Lifetime Achievement Honors

Another important concern of the Döblingers is the recognition of life's achievements. The city of Vienna honors older people who celebrate notable anniversaries. District head Daniel Resch presents certificates and recognition gifts to 90-year-old, 95-year-old and 100-year-old citizens as well as couples celebrating special wedding anniversaries. This honor is celebrated with a shared snack with delicious coffee and cake in order to strengthen social cohesion.

The table has already been prepared with great care for these celebratory occasions. Registration by phone is required at +43 1 4000-19111 to secure the festive setting. Birthday anniversaries aged 90 and over will receive a personal letter from the magistrate with further information about this honorary act. Weddings aged 50 and over must be registered independently with the Döbling district administration.

In this way, the people of Döbling show that they are not only concerned about their own wishes, but also put community, culture and recognition at the forefront of their hopes. The year 2026 should be a year of togetherness and positive developments.
