After 33 years of service: MV administrative officer Heite goes fishing!

On July 1, 2025, Andreas Heite will enter his well-deserved retirement after more than 33 years of service as a senior administrative officer (LVB) in the Miltzow office. This means that a significant change in local administration is imminent, because Heite is not only the longest-serving LVB in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, but also a parade figure in the region. His farewell is celebrated with the raising of the fishing rod - a symbol that a new phase of life is beginning for the former head of office in which fishing will play a central role. According to the Ostsee Zeitung, his friends even organized a special course for him to get him the nice fishing license provide.

Andreas Heite was born in Greifswald and was educated in Kandelin and Grimmen. He started his professional career in 1986 at the Grimmen District Council before taking over the mayor's office in Horst in 1987. Heite was known for walking to work every day and thus demonstrated a good knack for sustainable mobility. His colleagues appreciate him very much and affectionately call him “explainer bear” because he always took the time to explain complicated issues.

A formative influence

Over the years, Heite was responsible for organizing official business for the communities of Sundhagen, Wittenhagen and Elmenhorst. His successor, Anne-Kathrin Winkler, who has been working in Miltzow since 2018 and heads the treasure trove, will continue the business. More than 100 guests were present at a dignified farewell, all of whom duly acknowledged his achievements. One of the highlights of his career is the desire to realize the Baltic Sea cycle path between Greifswald and Stralsund - a project that could further revitalize the region.

An important aspect of the retirement of civil servants is financial security, which is regulated by specific regulations in Germany. Civil servants are entitled to a pension based on their length of service. After at least 40 years of service, they can receive up to 71.75% of their final salary. The transition to retirement is a well-planned step that Heite is now approaching with confidence and anticipation, as the website Jobs at the State explains in detail.

A look into the future

The new phase of his life will also give Heite more time for passionate hobbies such as fishing. He was already proudly reporting on his first catch, an impressive 77-centimeter pike. An adventure now begins for Andreas Heite that takes place in nature and by the water, and we can't wait to see what new challenges and experiences he will find.
