No speed limit on L17: Accident numbers convince decision makers!
There's news from the region that you shouldn't miss. There has been a lot of discussion in politics and public life in Oberhavel in the last few days. One of the most important decisions concerns the speed limit on state road 17. This was rejected. The Oberkrämer public order office didn't make this easy for itself, after all, a fatal head-on collision on this winding route from 2020 is still fresh in people's minds. Nevertheless, those responsible see the low number of accidents as a positive development. So it remains exciting to see how the traffic situation on the L17 will develop.
Another incident has attracted attention: a fire in Leegebruch, in which the life's work of the Wollenschläger family of showmen came to a sad end. Four truck trailers that were intended for Christmas market equipment were in flames. The police are active here and are offering a reward of 20,000 euros for information about the perpetrators. The fire has worried many and the search for those responsible has already begun.
Current warnings and measures
Bird flu is now also making headlines in the Kremmen and Linum regions. The Oberhavel district administration warns against bird watching in these areas as the virus can be transmitted by people, vehicles or equipment. There is currently no relief in sight and the authorities are keeping a close eye on the situation. It remains to be seen how this health threat will be addressed further.
A topic that takes on completely different dimensions concerns the employees of the public order office in Oranienburg. In recent months, they have donned bullet and stab vests due to a series of spitting and verbal attacks. There are currently six employees working in the field, and ten more positions are expected to be filled soon. The safety of employees has the highest priority and shows how tense the internal security situation is.
Women's power in Oranienburg
Cindy Fehle from Oranienburg, who works as a doula and yoga teacher, shines in a positive light. Its goal is to support women and families before, during and after pregnancy. With her own experiences from difficult births, she gives expectant mothers support and orientation. It's admirable how committed she is to making a positive impact on the lives of others.
Meanwhile, the (world) news is also international. A media incident surrounding Jésica Bustos, the wife of Mexican influencer Xuxo Dom, is causing a stir. After an episode of the podcast “La Cotorrisa” in which sexually connoted jokes were made about Jésica, she filed a complaint of sexual harassment. Xuxo Dom emphasizes that this incident has put a lot of strain on his wife's marriage and life. It remains to be hoped that this difficult situation can be resolved soon, because no one should have to suffer under such pressure.
