New mayor Eisert: Visions for Gohrisch and his citizens!

Gohrisch, Deutschland - Kay Eisert was elected mayor of Gohrisch at the end of April with impressive 90 percent of the votes. The 57-year-old has lived in the community since 1980 and knows many residents personally. His down -to -earth and pragmatic approach is expressed in his direct communication with the citizens, which he was looking for by distributing flyers in the districts of Papstdorf and Cunnersdorf. The new mayor attaches great importance to transparency and patience and would like to improve the relationship between local council and local councils. This is particularly important because Gohrisch, like many other municipalities in Germany, fights with a significant decline in population.

Eisert sees the creation of affordable living space and the attractiveness for young families as the central tasks of his term. The demographic change, which could reduce the population by 1.4 percent in Germany by 2020 and even up to 58 percent in some East German municipalities in some East German municipalities. Around 50 percent of German cities with more than 5,000 inhabitants are affected by this shrinkage, which entails a comprehensive change in age structure. This is reinforced by emigration of young people, which leads to an older population that, according to forecasts, will continue to increase by 2050. In cities such as Guben and Hoyerswerda, half of the population will be over 58 years old in 2020, which shows inadequate preparation for municipalities for this development.

infrastructure and community projects

An example of the local political challenges in Gohrisch is the dilapidated passage through the town in Papstdorf, which urgently needs to be renovated. Around 400,000 euros are required for the first 900 meters of the renovation, a sum that cannot be realized without funding. Eisert plans to start construction work in 2027 at the earliest. He also criticizes the insufficient connection of the districts to public transport in the winter months, which significantly restricts the mobility of citizens.

In order to increase the cultural integration power of Gohrisch, Eiser plans initiatives such as the "art community Gohrisch", which is supposed to integrate local artists into public life. The Waldbad Cunnersdorf, a popular leisure facility, is to be opened again next year, whereby working on a common staff will be working. Eisert also demands more support from the Free State for leisure activities in order to better meet the needs of citizens.

demographic change and municipal strategies

The challenges of demographic change require a detailed analysis and long -term strategies. This is also necessary to meet the aging population and the decreasing number of children. A predictive planning, which relies on small -scale data and possible trend shifts, is crucial for the municipal planning processes. The Bertelsmann Foundation offers extensive population forecasts by 2040, which enable differentiated analyzes at the community level. This data not only helps to understand the current situation, but also to design future developments in the infrastructure and services.
