Working together for a clean landscape: Action day a complete success
On 13 April 2024, together with more than 30 committed citizens, we took part in the Clean Landscape Action and made a huge difference!
Actions instead of words
Under the motto ‘Together for Dernbach’, we as the Jankowitsch voters' group showed our commitment to our homeland. Equipped with garbage bags, warning vests and gloves, together we freed roadsides, dirt roads and green areas from carelessly discarded garbage.
Impressions on Instagram
Some photos of the action are already on our Instagram channel to see. They document the success of the waste collection campaign.
Many thanks to all participants!
“We are very pleased about the great response,” said Cosimo Jankowitsch. “It is important to us to set a sign for a home worth living in and to actively ensure a clean Dernbach. The nature around Dernbach is now a little cleaner and more livable. Many thanks to all the environmental heroes who actively participated!”
We as Yankovich electoral group – Together for Dernbach – support the ‘Clean Landscape Action’ on 13 April 2024 and call on all interested parties to participate:
Together we can preserve a livable nature in our homeland and dispose of the garbage, which otherwise only decomposes in up to several hundred years.

More than 60 committed participants lived grassroots democracy and elected 13 candidates for the election of the municipal council.
It was a first for the village: A good 60 citizens gathered in Dernbach on 24 January for a much-anticipated constellation meeting. They determined who would stand as a candidate for the open electorate ‘Gemeinsam für Dernbach’ (Together for Dernbach). The assembly proposed Cosimo Jankovich as mayoral candidate. He was placed in first place on the electoral list, whose surname she will thus bear.
After the welcome of the participants by C. Jankowitsch, the mayor from Kroppach, Michael Birk, led as a competent and neutral meeting leader through the agenda and paid attention to the regular procedure. In the assembly, candidates were nominated who introduced themselves in person. Subsequently, the group of participants confirmed all candidates in a secret, equal and immediate election. This gives them the opportunity to represent their citizens in the local council. Jankovich thanked the participants: “The 60 people present, who actively participated in this democratic process, signalled the resurgent political community in Dernbach. Everyone has contributed to a respectful and confident atmosphere here. It is precisely in these times that I am enthusiastic about how committed citizens stand up for democracy and how they live.”
The other candidates agree and emphasize that they want to bring a breath of fresh air to the municipal council. Last but not least, they complement each other with a wide range of experience, expertise and perspectives. Their diversity reflects the colourful mix of the municipality of Dernbach and promises a future-oriented and inclusive representation. Thus, the ‘List of Yankovich’ is intended to offer a genuine and democratic election to the municipal council on 9 June, where so far only one CDU list is represented.
For “Together for Dernbach”, the assembly is the official starting signal to promote their ideas of a sustainable Dernbach. The elected candidates look forward to entering into an intensive dialogue with the citizens in the coming months about the visions and ideas with which they want to jointly shape a Dernbach that will continue to be worth living in the future.
For further information and enquiries, the elected candidates are available.
Because we care about our homeland and the interests of all Dernbach residents, we have – "Together for Dernbach" – brought us together as a politically independent group of voters. With our ideas, we want to participate in the political decision-making processes in the city and compete for the local elections in 2024.
This requires an ‘appointment meeting of candidates for the municipal council for the purpose of appointing candidates for the election of the municipal council in the municipality of Dernbach’.
Here we want to introduce ourselves to the citizens. At the same time, the members of the assembly are welcome to make themselves or other election proposals for the election of the municipal council.
To this end, we invite all citizens of Dernbach to Wednesday, 24 January 2024 at 7 p.m. in the ballroom of the Luda restaurant, Main street 29, 56428 Dernbach.

How can we develop our village in a sustainable way? To this end, the party-politically independent electorate group ‘Gemeinsam für Dernbach’ had all citizens in favour of the 13. Invited in December. A colourful bouquet of themes and ideas was brought up in the ‘Luda’ restaurant. In addition, the electorate informed about the next steps: She would like to take up the multifaceted proposals of open exchange and bring them to the municipal council. In order to nominate the candidates, all citizens will be invited separately to a so-called constellation meeting in January next year.
Cosimo Jankowitsch, the initiator of the voters' group, warmly welcomed the participants and introduced the voters' group with their goals. One of them is transparent and open civic participation. The discussion evening will serve as a prelude and bring a breath of fresh air for the political commitment in Dernbach. Mr. Jankowitsch recalled the village moderation 2017, the results of which must be taken up and realized. He stressed that family-friendly, generation-friendly and future-oriented structures are particularly important to the electorate, which should meet the needs of the people in the community.
Afterwards, the participants actively discussed in small groups what their own ideas and wishes they would like to give ‘Together for Dernbach’ on the way. They then exchanged views in plenary, highlighting the following: More information is needed from the local council, which should make its processes and results more transparent in order to involve citizens more. It is important to focus on equal opportunities for all Dernbach residents and to integrate newcomers more closely. Concrete proposals were made for this, as well as for youth activities and opportunities for young and old to meet. Other and also digital communication channels could also promote a positive culture of dispute and citizen engagement. It is particularly important to rely on modern media with low-threshold offers. For a village worth living in, contribute to preserving the vibrant club culture, calming traffic, promoting tourism and focusing more on future-oriented action.
Through this constructive exchange, it became clear that the ideas and concerns of the participating citizens coincide with the goals of the electorate group. C. Jankowitsch thanked for the good contributions to the discussion and invited to support the electorate. Interested parties are welcome to contact us personally or via www.gemeinsam-fuer-dernbach.de
