Exciting events in the Prignitz: Neptune festival and summer party are coming up!
The transport connection between Hamburg and Berlin has been severely affected by a railway closure in the past few weeks. This not only has an impact on passengers, but especially on the economic actors in Wittenberge. The railway company Potsdam (EGP) hits this particularly hard because it operates the Elbeport Wittenberge and is now faced with massive detours.
The situation is described by the EGP as a “massive cut”, which significantly disturbs the logistical processes. Due to the railway closure, those responsible expect a six -digit financial burden, which ultimately has to be passed on to customers. This development raises questions about how the region can continue to assert itself economically, especially if you bring the importance of the traffic connections into play.
economic effects of the railway closure
The EGP has already announced that the financial consequences of the railway closure could result in serious consequences. The detours, which are necessary to bypass the closed route, are not only a logistical challenge, but also exacerbate the pressure on the prices. This scenario could have an impact on total goods traffic that flows via Wittenberge to Hamburg and Bremerhaven.
"In particular, our location in Wittenberge is particularly popular," emphasizes the company. The direct connection is essential for the delivery of goods and the functioning of the export routes. A smooth transport is essential for the local economy.
open -air stage in Pritzwalk: new perspectives
The city administration has reacted here and is planning a comprehensive realignment of the open -air stage. It is planned to exhaust the full potential of this location from the anniversary year 2026. A few days ago, care work started to get the facility to a better condition and to make it more attractive for future events.
The open -air stage has a lot of potential and could be an asset to the region if it is encouraged accordingly. It remains to be hoped that the realignment also arouses enough interest to convert the criticism into something positive.
Events on weekends in the Prignitz
While the challenges in Wittenberge and the restructuring in Pritzwalk shape the headlines, the weekend is also around the corner that has a lot to offer. Numerous events are planned in the Prignitz, including the Neptune Festival and the celebrations of the fanfare train in Putlitz.
The Neptun Festival takes place in the Pritzwalker Hainholz swimming pool and promises to become an exciting experience for visitors. In view of the positive weather forecasts, it is worth exploring the region and participating in one of the numerous events. An overview of the events could help you choose the best ways.
After all, there is also a special focus on traffic safety, since school will soon begin. The police department attaches particular importance to the safety of the beginners. Various measures and training are planned for this in order to convey the right behavior in road traffic in particular.
important developments in the region
The current situation in the region shows that measures in business, culture and security have to go hand in hand. The railway closure throws shadows on economic stability, while initiatives open up new perspectives elsewhere. The coming weeks could be crucial for how both the economic and the cultural framework in Prignitz develop.
Economic effects of the railway closure
The railway closure between Hamburg and Berlin not only has a direct impact on the railway companies, but also on the entire region. Wittenberge, as an important logistics and business location, could suffer significant economic losses from the delays and detours. The local industry in particular, which is dependent on quick transport routes, already feels the negative effects of this measure.
According to estimates by the Institute for Economic Research, there could be a decline in goods traffic by up to 25 %, which would have a noticeable effect on the sales of the companies based there. This could also lead to job losses in the region.
Past railway strikes and their effects
A comparable situation in Germany occurred in Germany during the railway strikes, especially during the larger outputs in 2015. The effects were similar: companies were confronted with unexpected transport bottlenecks, which led to higher costs and difficulties in the supply chain.
At that time, regional newspapers reported on the increase in transport prices and almost 250,000 commuters affected every day. Companies, especially small businesses, were often not very prepared and had to fall back on alternative transport options, which caused additional costs. The comparison shows that this railway block can also result in long -term economic consequences that will burden both companies and the population.
Current traffic safety statistics 2023
The North Police Directorate has published current statistics on traffic safety that underline the urgency of reconnaissance measures. In the first half of 2023 there were a total of 115 traffic accidents in which children were directly affected. 90 children were injured, which indicates the need to actively involve parents and schools in traffic education.
In particular, the increase in accidents with children in road traffic is alarming and shows how important the police recommendations are. An experienced way of school and learning basic traffic rules are essential to ensure the safety of school children. This data also show that entry into school is a risky time for many children, which is why preventive measures and sensitized parents are of great importance.
