Grief for Manfred Cieslik: Entrepreneurs behind Großbeeren's building wonders died

Großbeeren, Deutschland - A great entrepreneur and man left us. Manfred Cieslik, a well -known building contractor from Greater Berries, died at the age of 85. Cieslik, who lived in the United States for a long time, leaves a legacy that is noticeable in the region and far beyond. His funeral service took place in the Catholic Church of Teltow, where friends and acquaintances said goodbye to a visionary head. Cieslik originally came from the Rhineland and built entire villages in Hawaii before returning to his homeland after the fall of the Berlin Wall and investing vigorously there, as maz-online.de reported.

he was committed to housing and built fire station and restaurants in the region. His heart did not only beat for construction projects: Cieslik had the animal world "Mama Mo" built in Friederikenhof and was known to many as a helpful and spacious person. Ex-Mayor Carl Ahlgrimm described him as a heart and tirelessly in his commitment to the community. The last construction site that was close to his heart was a café or an ice cream parlor in large berries, which remained unfinished.

an entrepreneur in the focus of corruption allegations

But Cieslik's legacy is overshadowed by serious allegations that are raised against him and local politicians. The experienced SPD district administrator Peer Giesecke has been at the top at the District Office Teltow-Fläming for years and is currently being examined by prosecutor Frank Winter for presumable benefits and infidelity. Among other things, this deals with the claim that Giesecke was hosted by Cieslik and in return made decisions in the sense of the entrepreneur - such as the demolition of a listed manor, on which Cieslik built a supermarket. As cdu-tf.de even had made a trip to Mallorca on Ciesliks.

The allegations throw a dark shadow on business and political action in the region. Connections between Cieslik and local politicians who are suspected of committing corruption are always more openly discussed. Cieslik is also said to have catered for other politicians, which already leads to parliamentarians and mayors. Among other things, investigations against Heinricht Scholl, the ex-city head of Ludwigsfelde, have already been discontinued because his guilt proved to be low.

A look at the construction industry

The image that is evident through these incidents is not new to the construction industry, which is generally struggling with accusations of corruption and bribery. As boeckler.de , many companies still suffer from a bad reputation. At Cieslik, the allegations are not the first of its kind; In the past, the building contractor has repeatedly noticed his generous invitations and business relationships.

Now it remains to be seen how the investigations develop. An early end of the investigation is in prospect, the Ministry of the Interior has already initiated a disciplinary proceedings against Giesecke. This situation will affect many in the region and could also result in far -reaching consequences for local politics and business. Cieslik's urn is finally buried not far from Cologne, near his brother, which hopefully creates some zone of mourning and reflection - both about his work and about the dark side of his business.
