What’s new in Cologne and the surrounding area? August 17, 2025 will bring with it some interesting developments and events that will keep people busy both in the city and in other parts of Brandenburg.
An alarming trend can be seen in the region: the number of domestic violence has increased. More and more women are seeking protection in women's shelters to escape dangerous situations. Although this development is regrettable, the committed work of the local aid organizations deserves attention and support.

According to Wikipedia, fishing includes numerous techniques such as hand fishing or netting. The event celebrates not only the passion for fishing, but also the cultural significance of this centuries-old tradition.
Another highlight is the Truck Trial in Schipkau, where the best participants fight for the title.

Sport continues in Stahnsdorf: RSV Eintracht Stahnsdorf has made it into the DFB Cup, which is being celebrated as a great success.
