A look at the local news situation

Not only football concerns the minds in Greifswald. At the Greifswald administrative court, there was a recent decision recently: the school reference to two ninth graders of the fishing school was temporarily declared ineffective. This happened after an incident in which a student showed a white power gesture in a video, which led to the reference. However, the state school authority has already lodged a complaint against this decision, reports Baltic Sea Zeitung.

In another remarkable message, a policeman, Dan R., remains despite illegal data queries on duty after no serious offense could be proven. These data queries were carried out between 2018 and 2019, but were not spread. This creates discussions in public space, since this is about trust in the police.

awards and finds

less controversial, but just as exciting, is the latest award by Anna-Henrikje Seidlein, a former nurse. She was honored with an ethics award for her research at Unimedizin Greifswald. Your contributions to healthcare stand out positively from the crowd and show how important the nursing sector is for science.

In addition, the discovery of a bottle mail causes excitement. Clint Buffington found this on the beach of the Caribbean, which was thrown into the sea by Jörg Wanke from Heringsdorf in 2015. Buffington has the intention of contacting the sender of the bottle mail, which Wanke delights. This shows that even a message in a bottle can beat a bridge over many years and distances.

To mention another exciting point of the local reporting: The finalists of the Feuerheld OZ campaign were announced in 2025. There were almost 5000 votes cast, which shows how high the anticipation for this award is and how much the population is behind their firefighters.

Overall, one can say that Greifswald currently has a mixture of honors, legal arguments and interesting discoveries to offer that ensure conversation. It remains exciting how the city and its citizens will continue to develop in the near future.
