Weimar Citizens' Office celebrates reopening with many improvements!
What's happening in Weimar? Today is a significant day for citizens because... Citizens' office on Schwanseestrasse opens its doors again after extensive renovation work. After a closure in July to improve the technical conditions and accessibility, people with limited mobility can now also make full use of the offers. The new workstations and the enlarged waiting area make the visit much more pleasant - this is also ensured by a new play area for the little guests.
In the meantime, services were offered in the neighboring Marie Juchacz Hall, which was a good alternative for the people of Weimar. The opening hours of the Citizens' Office, including one Saturday appointment per month, are well suited to dealing with the numerous concerns of citizens. The Weimar Citizens' Office is a central point of contact when it comes to administrative services.
Commemoration of homosexual prisoners
Yesterday took place in the Buchenwald Memorial A moving event took place dedicated to the homosexual prisoners of the concentration camp. Those present included not only city councilors, but also Mayor Peter Kleine and Thuringia's State Secretary David Möller. The memorial service was organized by the AIDS-Hilfe Weimar and Ostthüringen, with an impressive memorial speech by Jürgen from the German AIDS-Hilfe.
Flowers were laid at the Rosa Winkel memorial stone to commemorate the approximately 700 homosexual men who were taken into protective custody between 1937 and 1945. Tragically, only about half of them survived. The commemoration was part of Weimar's “Christopher Street Day”, where several hundred people came together to commemorate him.
New superintendent for Weimar-Apolda
There was also news from the church world: Constance Hartung was elected superintendent of the newly formed Weimar-Apolda church district. The 55-year-old, who studied at renowned universities such as Marburg and Leipzig and has been working as a private lecturer at the University of Jena for two years, is following in the footsteps of Henrich Herbst, who is retiring on December 1st. From January, the Weimar-Apolda church district with its headquarters in Weimar will be merged, which is of great importance for the region.
Bird flu and airport information
Meanwhile, the all-clear has been given regarding a possible bird flu threat in Weimar and the Weimarer Land. A recently found dead bird on the women's plot was not found to be a carrier of the disease. The responsible veterinary office has warned poultry farmers to observe strict hygiene regulations and to report their stocks.
The new winter timetable has been waiting for travelers at Erfurt-Weimar Airport since the time change. Although flights to the Mediterranean continue to be offered, connections to Greece have been discontinued. Popular travel destinations such as Antalya, Hurghada and Mallorca are still easily accessible - Kuusamo in Finland is new to the winter offer. Thanks to the new night flight permit, the number of passengers at the airport has increased, with almost 300,000 passengers by the end of the year, around 120,000 more than in the previous year.
Today in Weimar shows that the city not only stands for its cultural contributions, but also for community remembrance and future-oriented improvements in public services. The citizens' office is ready to master the challenges of everyday life and ensures a pleasant visiting experience with its new premises.
