Nechlin's new musical talent: Carsten Flöte” Uerlichs is thrilled!
A lot has happened in Nechlin, a small village in the Uckerland, in recent years. Petra and Carsten Uerlichs, natives of Münster, have been living in this idyllic corner of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania for almost eight years. Originally they didn't plan to move to East Germany, but rather wanted to go to Bavaria or unknown places. But when Carsten received an offer for the East German cities of Erfurt or Neubrandenburg, he chose Neubrandenburg in order to move towards the Baltic Sea. This is reported by the Northern Courier.
They looked for a new home in the Neubrandenburg area and finally found a little house in Nechlin. When they arrived they were warmly welcomed by the villagers and immediately felt at home. After only three months in the village, they registered as members of the village association. Petra Uerlichs and her daughter organized the community's first flea market, which was so well received that the fourth event of its kind has now taken place.
Cultural highlights
Carsten Uerlichs made a name for himself as a musician in the Neubrandenburg Army Music Corps. This Bundeswehr institution was founded on April 1, 1991 and has earned a high status as a “sound ambassador” for Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The corps was originally called the Military Division Music Corps I until September 30, 2013. In addition to the protocol service and troop service events, the music corps is also involved in looking after the troops and appears on national and international stages, such as Wikipedia notes.
A special highlight awaits the villagers on July 29, 2025, when a concert by the Army Music Corps will take place on the festival meadow in Nechlin. Carsten quickly earned a nickname among the villagers and is known as “Flute,” even though he actually plays the clarinet. The community greatly appreciates his musical talent and commitment.
Integration and closeness to nature
Another reason why the couple feels at home in the Uckermark is their love of gardening and the wildlife that surrounds them. They have a penchant for the stories of the past and are particularly interested in reports from the GDR era, which gives them a deeper insight into the region. The historical events surrounding their own house also arouse their interest.
The Uerlichs now live mostly in the East, while their son has remained in the West. Despite the geographical separation, the family has found a new home in Nechlin where they are very well integrated. It remains to be seen how their adventure in the Uckermark will unfold, but one thing is certain: they have developed a good sense of home.
