Dispute over living space: mayoral election in Hennigsdorf is approaching!
In September, the city of Hennigsdorf faces an important decision: the mayoral election is approaching, and the candidates have already presented their positions on the future of the former hospital site. Given the closure of the clinic site, views on subsequent use and the creation of living space are very different MAZ reported. This fundamental issue will shape political discussions in the coming years.
Last weekend, Hennigsdorf celebrated its 650th anniversary. An event that not only draws attention to tradition, but also to the challenges that the city will have to overcome in the future, such as the housing shortage. As a study shows, there is a shortage of around 550,000 apartments in Germany, and the high pressure on the housing market is constantly increasing bpb shows.
Take the right course
A particularly interested actor in the upcoming election could be Oliver Schönrock, who is running as the candidate of the “Independents – Citizens for Hennigsdorf”. His goal is to make Hennigsdorf a city in which all generations feel comfortable. In conversation with DU-OHV He made clear his core concerns: a family-friendly city, demand-oriented housing construction and secure health care are on his agenda. Schönrock values the exchange between young and old as well as a lively club and cultural landscape.
With the planned move of the clinic departments to Oranienburg, where a new ward building costing around 350 million euros is to be built in the next few years, the city's history of Hennigsdorf is being rewritten. However, the specific plans for the subsequent use of the former clinic site are still open and will be presented in the coming years. Intergenerational housing projects could be an option here to actively counteract the housing shortage.
Current investments as an opportunity
In the midst of these developments,haltec in Gransee, just a stone's throw from Hennigsdorf, is creating new perspectives. The company is investing 10 million euros in expanding its production and storage areas and has already opened new halls. TodayHaltec employs around 80 people, after a modest 13 in 1999. This economic dynamism could also benefit Hennigsdorf if the commercial island of Döne is successful in expanding and establishing it as an economic center.
But with all of these issues, the question remains: How do we deal with the growing need for housing? Loud bpb Germany needs over 372,000 new apartments every year, but this number is often not even close to being achieved. The pressure is highest in the big cities, where rents are rising sharply. The future political leadership in particular must find solutions to make living space accessible to everyone.
The foundations for positive development have been laid, but the question remains: Who will make the most important decisions to make Hennigsdorf future-proof and livable?
