Sky Pagoda: Closing after fire! Investor plans demolition by 2028!
The Sky Pagoda in Hohen Neuendorf, which was a city landmark for over 23 years, has closed its doors. Before the closure, many visitors flocked to this popular restaurant, which was very popular in the region. The closure is part of a broader change, as a new investor plans to demolish the pagoda by 2028 at the latest to make way for housing. This represents a significant change for the city, which could lose its nostalgic feel. How maz-online.de reported, the plans are already being implemented and raise questions about future urban development.
In the meantime, the community shows solidarity with the Wollenschläger family of showmen, who were affected by a devastating fire on October 31st in which four semi-trailers burst into flames. This incident follows an earlier arson at the family's Christmas market stalls in Schönwalde/Glien. The commitment of citizens around these tragic events is remarkable and shows that there is a close-knit community here that supports one another.
Current developments in the Kremmen Finance Committee
At the same time, the Kremmen Finance Committee is dealing with an extensive agenda that includes 84 items on Thursday. The focus is particularly on 75 amendments from the SPD/FWOK. The political landscape here is under heavy strain due to the looming financial gap of 1.7 million euros in the 2026 budget. This raises questions about how the city will finance its projects in the future, especially considering the planned changes by the Sky Pagoda's new investor.
Another local issue concerns an incident in Löwenberg, where a hairdressing salon was daubed with Hansa Rostock lettering. The police have already filed a report and citizens are hoping for a quick clarification.
Memorials in the focus of urban development
The Sachsenhausen Memorial, however, shines in a positive light, where deficiencies, including defective media stations, have been corrected. This initiative is part of a broader plan to build a new visitor and education center, to be completed by 2029 at the latest. Such measures show how important it is to preserve places of remembrance and how urban development and monument protection can go hand in hand. How stadtebaufoerderung.info emphasizes, research projects on the relevance of urban monument protection and the development of strategies for the long-term protection of historical buildings are essential for future urban design.
Finally, it remains to be seen how the developments surrounding the Sky Pagoda and the city's financial situation will affect the community. The coming months will show whether a good hand is demonstrated in dealing with these challenges.
