Parking lot dispute in Hellersdorf: CDU boss harvests sharp criticism!

In a dramatic start to the Christmas business in Berlin-Hellersdorf, the supply situation of residents with food is becoming increasingly critical. The parking situation on the Norma supermarket in Alte Hellersdorfer Straße/Zossener Straße causes plenty of trouble. Robin Enderlein, chairman of the CDU local association, has announced that the free use of the parking lot will also be possible in 2025, but that brings little relaxation for the residents. Instead of the hoped -for positive reactions, Enderslein was particularly criticized on Facebook. "Trucks and vans will continue to use the Norma car park," said an angry resident, while others worried more about the danger points in the area than the parking lot solutions. These statements underline the frustration of those who have difficulty finding a parking lot away from the large trucks that regularly block the areas. As reported by Berlin Live .

Silent shopping passages and artistic activities

Meanwhile, the “Helle Mitte” shopping center in Hellersdorf is suffering from vacancy. With just a handful of active business - including Rossmann and Apollo optics - the once flowering shopping center has turned into a ghost town. Residents report that they prefer to go to Brandenburg for purchasing, as the center hardly offers incentives to visit it. The image of the empty corridors is only brightened up on the shop windows by printed, laughing people, the shopping atmosphere has expired. Signs looking for new tenants are omnipresent, while the former shops are surrounded by a dreary. MOZ reported on the situation in the marketplace center .

As the influx of artists should show, some empty areas have surprises: graffiti artists have left their mark and creative work rooms were created in former shops. There it is hoped to bring the lethargic shopping arcade back to life. However, while politics is working on solutions, the actors remain critical and demand sustainable changes to revitalize Hellersdorf and improve the quality of life.
