Scandal around Rostock's shopping centers: vandalism and supply bottleneck!

In Rostock it is bubbling! The failure conditions in the shopping and supply centers Klenow Tor and Südstadt-Center do not seem to be better. As the Uckermark Kurier , the owner Ionnis Moraitis remains guilty of his payment. The district heating has already been parked several times, which also exacerbates the hygienic conditions on site. However, a solution was not in sight at the last citizens' meeting.

The problems are diverse: in addition to the constant danger of vandalism, residents complain of unsanitary conditions that not only pose a security risk, but also impair the general well -being of the population in the southern part of the city and Groß Klein. DIE LINKE in the citizens locates the need for action here and has brought a municipal initiative into play in order to prepare for a possible foreclosure of the owner. However, this application has not yet found a majority in the citizens. Julia Kristin Pittasch from the FDP expressed concerns about a municipal purchase of the real estate.

urgent need for action

"The neglect of the buildings is no longer acceptable", the parliamentary group spokesman for the left is quoted. The application for a legal examination and possible measures to secure real estate was already brought in on January 15, 2025. It is not just about legal clarification, but also about getting the sanitary facilities and technical facilities under control in the centers. Mountains of garbage, plague of rats and arson contribute to the deterioration in the quality of life. The possibility of expropriation should also be considered.

The expectations of the administration are high. A rapid and transparent processing is required to ensure general services, such as medical care. In this context, Chris Günther from the CDU mentioned the termination in medical practices and advocated replacement rooms, but this application was also rejected. Uwe Michaelis from the SPD expressed that the opportunities for improvement through an initiative of employment were low and warned of the possible consequences of moving from doctors.

A look into the future

The question of how to proceed, bring many emotional discussions with it. The city administration faces the challenge of using the last options for renovating leisure and shopping centers. The Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Development has found in an initiative that Weißbuch city center is often not in line with sustainable urban development. A nationwide analysis of the inner -city shops could possibly provide new impulses.

loneliness, uncertainty and the loss of general interest are tangible topics that are on the agenda. It is about taking the residents seriously and finding a solution that not only gives short -term answers, but also creates long -term positive impulses for the entire environment.
