What is the Ideas Platform?
The Ideas Platform replaces the Frankfurt participatory budget, which was carried out twice. Unlike the participatory budget, you can use the ideas platform all year round. You can contact the city with suggestions and proposals in the general interest by submitting your ideas on this website aswell as by letter, fax or telephone. If your idea has found at least 200 supporters, the magistrate will examine your proposal and report the result on this website, to you and every six months to the city council meeting.
Who can participate?
The ideas platform of the City of Frankfurt am Main is a means for all Frankfurt residents to get involved. There are no age restrictions.
How do I register?
You can sign-in at any time using the sign-in button in the top right-hand corner. Please note that you need a valid user account (you will need to register for this).
How does the registration work?
Here you can find the registration form.
What happens to the submitted ideas?
If the necessary number of supporters is reached, the proposals will be examined by the responsible department and provided with a statement and a proposal for implementation. Subsequently, a decision on the implementation or rejection of the proposals will be made by the City Council of the City of Frankfurt am Main. The City Assembly is informed every six months by a report from the Magistrate.
How can I find a particular proposal?
In the overview of ideas, you can filter all ideas by area of responsibility, city district and status or sort them by title, date and user name.
What is a quorum?

Can the quorum only be reached via online signatures?
No, it is also possible to support proposals by telephone (D115), in writing (i.e. signature lists) or by e-mail. However, it is always necessary that the person supporting the proposal is officially registered in Frankfurt and that the first name, surname and full address are given.
