Slide concludes, appreciation expressed.
PforzheimONLINE, the much-anticipated online magazine, never saw the light of day. However, its story begins with the launch of a dynamic website in the summer of 2016, as part of the "Our Website Lunch!" project.
The website was a pioneer, introducing an exciting array of formats, sections, and services. It was more than just a lunch overview; it was a platform for creative expression and community engagement. Over 30 locations in Pforzheim joined the project, sharing their daily lunch offerings.
The brainchild of Bjoern Fix, the founding editor, the website was officially launched on November 4th, 2016, at 12 pm, during the 1st BarCamp Pforzheim. Since its inception, the website has published over 2,000 individual meal plans, catering to a loyal readership of several thousand monthly page views.
The website's editorial team, led by Bjoern Fix, has always maintained a friendly tone while remaining critical of institutions and conversation partners. They wish readers a smooth transition into the new year, bidding farewell for the season with a sincere note.
Interestingly, the idea for an online magazine in Pforzheim was first conceived as early as 1996. However, it was not until 2016 that the idea materialised into the vibrant, interactive website we know today. As the website evolved, it transformed from a simple lunch platform into a full-fledged magazine.
The team encourages readers to write to them with questions, suggestions, and opinions. The website remains open to all readers, avoiding aggressive and annoying advertising methods to ensure a pleasant browsing experience.
As we reflect on the journey of PforzheimONLINE, we are reminded of the potential that Pforzheim holds in all areas where creative people work to improve things. The story of this website is a testament to the power of ideas, perseverance, and community spirit.
