Havelland: New job center boss and exciting mayoral runoff election!
Things are currently busy in the Havelland job centers, which are located in Rathenow, Nauen and Falkensee and employ a total of 200 people. The new director, Christina Zubrytzki, has had a lot to deal with since taking office in June, following the retirement of her predecessor Dennis Granzow. Their main focus is on successfully integrating people who receive citizen's benefit into the labor market. The challenges are great, especially when it comes to attracting qualified specialist staff and retaining them long-term. This task is not exactly easy in the current job market, as maz-online.de reports.
Citizens' benefit can be applied for if one's livelihood is not secured. The job centers offer support in finding work as well as information on standard requirements and costs for accommodation and heating (KdU). The goal? To strengthen people in the Havelland district and to promote their long-term independence from basic security benefits, as havelland.de explains.
Mayoral election and infrastructure projects
There will be a runoff election for the mayor's office in Nauen on September 28, 2023. In the first election on September 14th, Michael Wiebersinsky received 47.3% and Manuel Meger 31.4% of the vote. The voter turnout was 51.1%. There is also 36 million euros waiting in the region from a special federal fund to improve the infrastructure. Falkensee in particular benefits from this and receives the largest amount at 19.15 million euros. Kleßen-Görne, on the other hand, has to be content with 170,026 euros. These funds should be used in particular for school construction projects as well as for road and bridge construction, which can certainly be beneficial for development in the region.
The 15th Havelland Harvest Festival brought an interesting twist: Alexander Vujanov was crowned the first Harvest King here. His goal is clear: to reduce bureaucracy in agriculture in order to make it easier for farmers to access retail, which is certainly very popular in rural areas.
Fire in Paulinenaue
Last but not least, a tragic incident is affecting the region: After a fire in an apartment block in Paulinenaue, which was caused by previously unknown causes and gas explosions, the investor is planning to restart construction work after around six months' delay. It is expected that the 44 damaged apartments will be available for occupation in spring 2026 as soon as the causes of the fire have been fully clarified. The police have started investigations.
