A look outside the box

But not only the fishing festival is the focus of the Greifswald. The University Medical Center Greifswald is also currently struggling with challenges. In 2024, the facility recorded a deficit of 5.8 million euros due to underfunding. In order to take this situation, doctors and nurses should continue to be hired, which should strengthen the position of university medicine as the most important employer in the region.

Another hot topic in the region are the dilapidated buildings on the B111 in Zinnowitz. Mayor Fred Kruggel said dissatisfied about the condition of these ruins; A demolition could create space for a new amusement park. Investors such as the 84-year-old Gerd-Peter Irkens, resident on Usedom, show great interest in living space projects. With more than one billion euros in construction projects, he has already covered a high need for rental apartments in the region, which significantly relieves the housing market on Usedom. [Volksfeste in Germany] closes with further information about the fishing festival and its highlights.

If you still want to take part in the votes for the OZ fire brigade campaign, you shouldn't wait long; The votes for the fire brigade candidates end tomorrow. Anne Berner from the Kröslin volunteer fire brigade currently runs with 34.2 percent, closely followed by Tim Nahrstedt from Kühlungsborn with 32.6 percent. So the tension remains high up to the last minute!

With all these exciting aspects in the back of the head, it is only to be said: We look forward to a great fishing festival in Greifswald and for a lively future for the region!
