Stadtwerke Greifswald lowers prices: 20% savings for consumers!

In Greifswald-Riems there is not only news from politics, but also from the daycare world. The Kneipp daycare center “Inselkrabben” has further expanded its sustainable health concept, which promotes the relationship between mind, body and soul. This strenuous but healthy practice unit is still very popular and includes activities such as treading water, arm baths and knee and facial watering, which introduce the little ones to health promotion in a playful way. In this way, the daycare center helps to give the children a valuable foundation for a healthy life, reports the Ostsee-Zeitung.

At the same time, there is good news for consumers in the region: Stadtwerke Greifswald plans to reduce electricity and gas prices from January 1, 2026. This price reduction could save households up to 20 percent. The municipal utilities have adapted their purchasing strategy and reduced the procurement risk. In addition, the federal government's abolition of the gas storage levy has a positive impact on gas prices.

Special challenges for daycare centers

The feedback on the declining number of children in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is causing problems for local daycare centers. Special concepts are required in order to remain attractive in the future. Lisa Bäcker carries her daughter to the Riems daycare center despite a detour, which shows that parents today often make more effort to find the best care for their children.

Another part of society that needs special support is people with medical hair loss. Helga Marina Jasper (73) is an example: She has been wearing a wig by prescription for over 20 years. However, not every wig studio is able to meet the health insurance requirements. It's good that the Greifswald University Hospital has a “hairdresser for everyone” who specializes in providing advice according to health insurance standards.

News from education and business

Exciting developments have also taken place in Greifswald's educational landscape. Laura Schumann (26) works as a trainee teacher at the Ostsee-Gymnasium regional school, which was founded three years ago and now has 50 students. She plans to complete her legal clerkship in January with the second state examination – a next step in her professional career.

A look at the local economy also shows movement: “Uncle Ben’s” from Wolgast has moved its location to Lubmin to the factory canteen of the energy works for nuclear waste disposal. This not only led to a doubling of the number of employees, but also an increase in sales. Entrepreneur Ben Arnold sees a lot of potential to attract customers from the industrial area and surrounding areas.

The developments in Greifswald show that, despite the challenges, there are also many positive changes that affect childcare as well as the education and healthcare systems. With a good hand in planning, both in daycare and in the economy, the city will stay on the right track.

For everyone who would like to have a special look at the time, this should be said: Anyone who wants to juggle with the 24-hour system just needs to know that 11:45 a.m. on the twelve-hour dial corresponds to 11:45 AM - simple but important information for everyday life!
