This is the promise made by the two new café owners Hannah Kirchschlager and Marcel Voss on their website and in social networks. At the opening in the premises of the former Café Steinhoff, Mayor Michael Gerdhenrich and City Centre Manager Helga Grothues personally convinced themselves of the new concept and offered their warmest congratulations.

As the owner, the Steinhoff family has supported the project from the outset and has waived part of the rent for two years. As a result, the two café operators can benefit from funding as part of the "Sustainable inner cities and town centres in NRW" programme and realise their long-cherished dream. This is already the 7th Beckum project to be supported by this programme. "Lytt" is Low German and means "small".
