Wildau weekly market: move to the Wildorado or stay? This is how the citizens decide!

Wildau, Deutschland - The Wildau weekly market faces a possible big change. A move from the Meyer Beck parking lot to the Wildorado sports center is planned. In a survey by the senior advisory board, the citizens were asked for their opinion on this topic. "What we always wanted to know about them" - the survey is running under this motto. So far, 500 questionnaires have been distributed and more than 250 answers have already been received. Mayor Frank Nerlich confirmed the serious considerations for a change of location.
The survey is open until July 17, and voting cards are available at the weekly market by July 16. Citizens have the opportunity to choose between:

• the whereabouts of the market at the previous location,
• a change to the Wildorado,
• or of the opinion that the location doesn't matter.

A possible move of the market could take place at the end of 2025, but a final decision is still pending. The reason for the proposed move is, among other things, the elimination of parking spaces due to the renovation in schools. In addition, it is expected that the market on the Wildorado is better visible and, in combination with surrounding facilities, could attract more visitors. In the meantime, however, some dealers express concerns. Many of their customers rely on walking aids and could perceive the longer path to the Wildorado as an obstacle. Senior advisory board members and residents are committed to the whereabouts of the market at the current location to make this more service -friendly.

seniors in focus

The importance of surveys for opinion formation among seniors also shows a look at the activities of the senior advisory board in Rheinberg. The latter carried out a survey among citizens aged 60 and over to better understand their needs and wishes. 189 completed arches were evaluated, with many respondents stimulated a meeting place for seniors after the café was closed. There is a clear desire for social encounter opportunities and a contact point for older people, which is reinforced by the frequent inquiries to the advisory board. Rheinberg has gained a few important findings.

The survey provided interesting results: 112 of the respondents would like a permanent meeting place, and the desire for a more attractive weekly market is also expressed. The age structure shows that most participants are between 66 and 75 years old, with many living in and around the city center. When asked about contact persons who should be responsible for questions about age and nursing advice, the family was most frequently mentioned.
This clearly shows that contact with relatives is of central importance for many seniors. Continuous communication and access to relevant information are crucial for the well -being of older people.

insights into the life of older people

In addition, social development becomes clear when you look at the results of the German old age survey (Deas). This comprehensive long -term study, which has been carried out regularly since 1996, deals with living conditions of older people aged 40 and over and illuminates a wide range of topics such as social support, health behavior and mobility. BMFSFJ gives an exciting insight into the developments that have been recorded over more than two decades. Here it also becomes clear how important it is to promote the quality of life and the well -being of the older generation.

summarized, the current surveys and studies illustrate how important the opinion of older citizens is and how exciting it is to take their wishes for meeting places, markets and social contact points. The challenges in front of which seniors are facing must not be forgotten when making decisions in the city. It is to be hoped that the upcoming surveys and considerations will lead to a result that makes all sides happy.
