Celebrations in Bentwisch: 150 years of the church, 125 years of the organ!
On October 6, 2025, the Prignitz region will look back on numerous events and activities that enrich social and cultural life. From the celebratory anniversary in Bentwisch to numerous educational opportunities, there is a lot to report.
The community of Bentwisch celebrated a very special celebration last weekend: 150 years of the church and 125 years of the organ were celebrated as an anniversary. The Unteres Elbtal parish and the village community organized a festival weekend, which included, among other things, an exhibition on the church's renovation work. Such events not only promote cohesion in the community, but also the cultural awareness of the population maz-online.de reported.
Educational opportunities in the region
Another important point is the educational offerings of the district adult education center, which offer new autumn courses in Perleberg, Pritzwalk and online. Offers such as “alkaline fasting in autumn” or “modern Greek for the holidays” are particularly well received. But basic education is also very important. The Prignitz Basic Education Center offers support with literacy, simple content for all age groups and information for companies and authorities. Information events provide tips and support for people with difficulties reading and writing, according to kvhs.landkreis-prignitz.de.
The initiative to improve basic education in Germany is part of the “National Decade for Literacy and Basic Education” (AlphaDecade), which was launched in 2016. The aim of these efforts is to raise awareness of reading and writing difficulties among adults and to improve the framework for basic education. However, this could soon change as the AlphaDecade ends in 2026 and financial support for many projects in the region is at risk, as volkshochschule.de reports.
Upcoming events in Prignitz
A preview of the upcoming events: On November 8th, Martin Baier invites you to the flea market in Perleberg. The city of Wittenberge also faces other challenges, such as building a new fire station or finding a Christmas tree for Paul-Lincke-Platz. The city is also actively involved in heat planning, which will be presented in the coming months.
While there are numerous activities in Wittenberge such as city tours and the anniversary celebrations of the Bohnhoff mobile phone business, the efforts to maintain and promote the local infrastructure are also reflected in volunteer work. Volunteers for the Federal Voluntary Service are sought here.
In summary, Prignitz is a vibrant community that continues to uphold cultural events and educational offerings, even as important support initiatives are coming to an end. The coming months promise to be exciting, be it through new courses, festivals or offers to improve basic education.
