New children's toilet on playground in Höxter: innovative and controversial!

In Höxter, an innovative project was introduced to solve an everyday problem. The first "oilette", a children's toilet on a playground, was recently installed on the clay width. This installation is the result of concrete measures by the Child Protection Association, which dealt with a creative solution for the missing toilet network on playgrounds. The aim is to make the children's emergency easier and more hygienic.

The "Oilette" is a space -saving construction made of a stainless steel rod, a toilet seat, a plastic bag dispenser and a trash can. It was developed by the two inventors Vanessa Senses and Kathrin Valencia from Frankfurt am Main. As stern.de , the functionality is simple: a bag is pulled over the toilet and then disposed of in the intended garbage container. This simple handling makes the "oilette" a practical solution for parents and children.

a step in the right direction

The installation of the "Oilette" cost around 3000 euros, which is significantly cheaper than the construction of firmly installed toilets that can cost up to 200,000 euros. The Höxter Child Protection Association bears the costs and the city ensures maintenance. This positive development not only attracts curious visitors from the region, but also contributes to improving the hygienic conditions on playgrounds. According to Hoexter-news.de so far has shown a lot of interest and support for the project.

Nevertheless, there are also critical voices. Some parents express concerns about the lack of privacy screen, which could possibly attract tensioners and pedophiles. In order to counteract these concerns, the city of Höxter plans to plant additional bushes that are supposed to provide more privacy protection. This planting will take place in spring when the shrubs become denser.

social discussion

The introduction of the "Oilette" has initiated a discussion about the need for safe and child -friendly toilet facilities in playgrounds. Sina Schreiber from the Höxter Child Protection Association motivated the project to address missing toilets in playgrounds. For the future, it remains to be seen how the project will develop and whether similar initiatives will follow in other cities.
