In Mertzig we see a sign that says "#Mertzig4all".
“What does that mean?” asks Mia.
Mum comes closer and reads it with us. “It means Mertzig for everyone. Everyone should feel welcome here—whether they are young or old, big or small.”
I look around. “For everyone… really everyone?”
“Exactly,” says Mum. “That is called the common good. It means organising things in the village in a way that makes life good for everyone.”
We continue walking and see a large box filled with books in the park.
“Oh, a book box!” I call out as I open the cupboard door. “You can simply take a book here!”
“And you can bring one back too,” adds Mum. “That way, people can share stories.”
Next to it stands a building with open doors. Inside, people are laughing and talking.
“That’s a community centre for clubs and associations,” says Dad. “Groups can meet here, attend courses or do activities together.”
“That sounds wonderful!” exclaims Mia.
“I think Mertzig is like Turelbaach Castle—a place that is there for everyone.”
