Mayor election in Lucka: Steffen Zöppel takes over the helm!

Altenburg, Deutschland - A fresh wind blows through the city of Lucka, because with Steffen Zöppel the community chose a new mayor. The 62.7 percent share of voices shows that the citizens spoke great trust in the new head of the city. Zöppel succeeds Kathrin Backmann-Eichhorn, who proved great commitment to the city and its districts of Breitenhain and Prößdorf with her term. Now the new mayor is waiting for the challenges of his new role, since he has to give up his current job and incorporate himself into the new tasks.

But there is not only news in Lucka. From July 7th, the B7 between Altenburg and Schmölln will be closed for almost two months. This blocking could become a real problem for many road users, especially in view of the existing challenges for the local economy. The Altenburger Fleischerei Günther is particularly affected, which is brought to a four -digit sales amount every week due to many years of road closures. The construction work on Kauerndorfer Allee and Rasephaser Straße make the butcher to a dead end and thus endanger its existence.

urban development and perseverance

The city of Altenburg has in mind numerous Wilhelminian style buildings in need of renovation, including the old ENT clinic, in which part of the facade has already collapsed. A need for action is the order of the day. The city plans strategies to revive these old buildings and return their charm. In a constant process of urban development, needs and demands on the infrastructure must be reconciled with social matters, financial possibilities and climate protection measures. In this context, the city and community day describes the importance of sustainable concepts and interdisciplinary approaches to urban development. Citizen participation in particular is to be promoted in order to improve the quality of life for the residents and to enable innovative ideas for the future design.

In Altenburg itself, the gastronomic scene could offer a ray of hope in view of the ongoing construction work. Various delivery services, including Syrian and Indian cuisine, bring variety to the plates of the city dwellers. The local offer is constantly being expanded to meet the culinary needs. Citizens of the city are also invited to bring their suggestions and ideas to the city administration in order to increase the variety of offers from economic and cultural aspects.

a success on two wheels

A pleasant occasion is all the challenges: Leonie Reinicke from Langenleuba-Niederhain has secured the European U-19 European Championship in the bike ball and plans to take part in the World Cup next year. A real reason to celebrate and further proof that the region's talents can shine despite the adverse circumstances.

In these eventful times, the city of Lucka places great emphasis on a positive development, both in political and social landscape. The challenges presented in Altenburg and the success of the athletes show that it is worthwhile to take responsibility and actively shape the development of your own city. As Mayor Zöppel could call: "Together for a nicer Lucka!"
