Oberbergischer Kreis hosts village talks again Exchange and information evening for village communities

Oberbergischer Kreis. The Oberbergischer Kreis will also offer the popular series of events called 'Village Talks' in 2026. The Village Talks provide a direct and personal exchange between the key players in the villages and the Oberbergischer Kreis. During the individual events, the potential and challenges of the region are discussed, and current information about village development is shared with the participants.

“The Village Talks have established themselves as a direct communication channel between the village communities and the Oberbergischer Kreis. The joint exchange addresses questions about what the village associations need, the concerns of the village communities, and where the Oberbergischer Kreis can provide support,” explains Planning Director Frank Herhaus.

The talks, organized by the Oberberg Village Service, will take place at various locations in the Oberbergischer Kreis.

Villages from Nümbrecht and Wiehl are invited to the village house in Nümbrecht-Gaderoth on November 4, 2026. On November 9, 2026, the Village Talk for Waldbröl and Morsbach will be held at the village house in Waldbröl-Dickhausen.
