Disaster control exercise in Am Mellensee: This is how we prepare!
On September 27, 2025, a disaster response exercise focused on emergency care for injured people in the event of a sudden power outage took place in Am Mellensee, Teltow-Fläming. The exercise was organized against the background of the alarming increase in cable thefts at charging stations in Brandenburg, which may indicate copper theft or sabotage, as rbb-online.de reports.
In parallel to these disaster control efforts, extensive exercises took place at the Karl Liebknecht Stadium in Babelsberg, Potsdam. These took place on July 5, 2025 and attracted around 170 emergency services from different regions. The Potsdam fire department and rescue workers from Potsdam-Mittelmark, Havelland, Teltow-Fläming and Ostprignitz-Ruppin were involved. The aim of this large-scale exercise was to test the interaction of the organizations in a mass operation, simulating a fictitious scenario with a partial collapse of the stadium roof, in which 150 people were affected and 71 injured people had to be treated. Around 50 rescue vehicles and the use of a rescue helicopter underlined the seriousness of the exercise.
New challenges for municipalities
The mayoral election in Herzberg represents another important issue. Incumbent Karsten Eule-Prütz plans to run for another eight years, while his challenger Ulrich Grundmann from the AfD is also venturing into the race for the mayor's office. This election is eagerly awaited as it not only has significance for the city itself, but also has regional effects on the political landscape in Brandenburg.
In Potsdam, new research projects are also drawing attention to the historical landscape in the Holy Lake area. Researchers at the Georesearch Center have been drilling to learn more about the region between 500 and 5,000 years ago. Such studies are crucial to better understand local history and explore potential potential for future tourism developments.
Cultural highlights and events
The exhibition “The Gray Misery of Potsdam” takes place in the Lindenstrasse Memorial. This addresses the torture interrogations and deportations after the Second World War and thus offers valuable insights into the dark history of the city. In addition, the 43rd ecumenical recreational boater service will be celebrated in Potsdam-Sacrow, an interesting mix of sport and spirituality, while a giant pumpkin will be loaded in Elsholz for the weigh-in championships in Klaistow.
The German Championship in the inflatable dinghy slalom at Beetzsee also promises exciting competitions. Such events ensure lively and varied leisure activities in the Brandenburg area.
The exciting developments in the region show once again how important it is to prepare for emergencies and promote cultural life. Citizens can look forward to exciting months in Brandenburg.
