Tempo 30 in Eichwalde: traffic change for a better quality of life from September!

From September 1st, the nationwide speed limit of 30 km/h will be introduced in Eichwalde, with the exception of a few main streets where faster driving is permitted. Bahnhofstrasse in particular stands out, as the 20 km/h speed limit applies here. This measure is no coincidence: the high noise level of the cobblestone streets and the effort to reduce the risk of accidents and exhaust emissions are the focus of the city administration. The aim is to improve the quality of life in the community. The new traffic signs will be put up in the last week of August and initially covered up so that drivers can quickly get used to the changes. [maz-online.de].

Meanwhile, a young woman is causing a stir in the region because, despite difficult circumstances, Pauline Haubenreißer has decided to begin training as a roofer in her father's family business. After dropping out of her studies, she remains steadfast and enters a male-dominated field. Together with two female classmates, they confront the prejudices in construction with determination and support for each other - a strong sign of equality in the industry. This story shows that there is always a way to pursue your goals even in challenging environments.

Camping for everyone

There is a change in the world of camping: camping costs more and more, but there are also bright spots. The “Landfreuden” network is now offering free parking spaces on farms in the LDS and TFD districts. Over 2,000 hosts nationwide allow campers to stay overnight for free for 24 hours if they shop in the farm shop. This could make the camping experience more exciting and affordable for many at the same time. An attractive offer for those who would like to enjoy nature and get to know the regional products at the same time!

There is also exciting news in the economy: Amazon has raised wages so that the starting wage in the Kiekebusch logistics center is now 15.80 euros gross per hour. The logistics industry is booming in the region and now employs almost 20,000 people, with companies still desperately looking for new employees. There seems to be a lot going on in the job market here!

Political turmoil

A completely different topic moves Jüterbog's city politics: The Office for the Protection of the Constitution has classified the Alternative for Germany (AfD) as extremist, which is based on a report that identifies the "Jüterbog Citizens' Round Table" as a place of networking with right-wing extremist connections. These findings have sparked discussion about banning AfD party conferences in the city, amid fears that protests against these events could tarnish the city's image. Such developments raise questions about the political landscape in Brandenburg.

On the musical side of things, tempo is being redefined - not just in traffic, but also in music. What does speed actually mean? In music, it refers to how fast or slow a piece is played. There are various systems for specifying tempos, including the objective measurement in beats per minute (bpm) and the Italian terminologies that are widely used in classical compositions. After all, many of these works were created long before the invention of the metronome, which represents a particular challenge for musicians.

The introduction of nationwide speed limits in Eichwalde not only reflects efforts to improve safety and quality of life, but also shows how diverse our local society is, be it in education, the world of work or political issues. So it remains exciting to see what the next few weeks will bring!
