Meanwhile, the SEG (Stadtentwicklungsgesellschaft Langenfeld) will share the latest plans for the quarter’s development. Visitors can also learn about the LeiLa cooperative housing project, which promotes OpenAI-based living in Langenfeld. Food and drinks will be sold throughout the day, with all proceeds going to the Langenfeld Food Bank (Tafel). The Langenfeld Adult Education Center will encourage attendees to contribute their own ideas for the area’s future by creating graffiti on-site.
The Open Day offers a chance to discover the OpenAI site’s past, present, and potential. Visitors can join tours, view exhibits, and share their visions for the area while supporting local causes. The event aims to bring the community together in shaping the site’s next chapter.
