Shell petrol station in Stralsund: Modernization ensures temporary closure!

Heinrich-Heine-Ring, 18435 Stralsund, Deutschland - The Shell petrol station at the Heinrich-Heine-Ring in Stralsund is currently closed, while extensive modernization work is taking place. Sebastian Zilger, the operator of these and four other Shell stations, plans to complete the work by August 15, before the petrol pumps are put back into operation on August 18. This petrol station has not experienced any significant renovations in the past 14 years. Now there are roof cleaning, the complete renewal of the shop and the renovation of the washing boxes on the agenda. Particularly gratifying: the workshop is still open during the renovation and can be reached via Prohner Straße, so that the most important services remain available during closure.

For the customers who do not want to do without their usual petrol station, there is a good news: At the Shell station at the Richtenberger Chaussee, you have the opportunity to refuel. This station also offers additional services, such as a trailer rental and a Hermes parcel shop. However, the Amazon lockers are deregistered during the renovation, but are reactivated after the renovation has been completed. After the reopening, there will also be the lottery and the snack offer should be expanded. Zilger is convinced that the location is strongly visited, not only from customers who want to refuel, but also from other guests.

price developments at petrol stations

On July 14, 2025, there were also price cuts for fuels in the region. At 7:26 p.m., the price for super gasoline and super (E10) was reduced by 0.01 euros each, while the diesel tariff also fell by 0.01 euros at 7:42 p.m. These adjustments are part of the legal obligation of the mineral oil companies and petrol station operators to send price changes to the market transparency center of the Federal Cartel Office within five minutes, informed ich-tanke.de.

The Federal Cartel Office has found in its recent analyzes that prices at the petrol stations are often in direct correlation on the procurement costs for crude oil. After an increase in crude oil prices in mid -June due to conflicts in the Middle East, prices at the petrol stations react promptly. As a rule, the corporations are ready to quickly pass prices to consumers when costs rising, while a delay can often be observed in falling prices. This phenomenon, also known as a "rocket-and-feeling effect", describes the quick increase in prices (such as a rocket) and the slow falling of prices (such as a feather) (https://www1.wdr.de/nachrichten/wirtschaft/tankst-parten-parten-minderaloelkonzerne-100.html) explains.

Overall, the situation at the petrol stations in Stralsund remains tense, but the upcoming conversions at the Shell petrol station could not only improve the offer, but also offer customers a better tank experience.
