Soundproofing at BER: Applications are in danger of stagnating – act now!
In the last few weeks, the citizens of Zinna Monastery and the surrounding area have repeatedly pointed out the upcoming application deadline for noise protection measures at BER Airport. This ends on November 4th, 2025, and how maz-online.de reported that around 4,000 fewer applications have been received than the local authorities originally expected. The noise protection measures are particularly important because they must be reimbursed by the end of 2025 for notices sent by 2022. This could be of great importance for many residents, as noise pollution from air traffic in the region is constantly increasing.
However, there are other challenges in Zinna Monastery. The “Pittiplatsch” daycare center located there is confronted with structural defects. A roof renovation is planned for 2024 and 2025, while the daycare center currently looks after around 50 children. The structural condition of the facility plays a decisive role in parents' decision whether to enroll their children there. The city has already acquired land for a new daycare building, but the award is currently being delayed, which is worrying many affected families.
News from the city administration
The city administration will provide information about the current status of the daycare center on December 3, 2025. This is an important step as many parents need clarity regarding the care of their children. In the meantime, the city of Lindwigsfelde is also currently having to deal with an unexpected find: human remains were discovered on a property that was formerly used as a cemetery for forced laborers. The city immediately reported the findings and initiated the recovery of the remains.
On another important matter, Brandenburg Minister Hanka Mittelstädt and master butcher Olaf Mahr met in Wildau on Tuesday. They presented a semi-mobile slaughter unit that aims to be able to carry out the slaughter directly on the farmer's premises. This is intended to help reduce animal suffering. However, so far approval has only been available in the Dahme-Spreewald district, which raises questions about how this concept could be implemented in other regions.
Commitment to charitable projects
Another important point for the region is the Sterntaler campaign, which promotes charitable projects. The application deadline for this campaign has been extended to November 9th. Here, clubs and initiatives can apply for financial support, which can be of great importance for many local projects.
