From Berlin to Guben: Anika Franke dares to start the new

A new phase of life in Guben: Anika Franz's move after the trial period

The “Prozen” project in Guben, a charming city in the Spree-Neiße district, shows promising results. The 37-year-old Anika Franke from Berlin has decided to permanently move to the 16,000-inhabitant city after completing her three-week test phase. This decision sets a sign for other potential attracters and illuminates the opportunities and challenges that life in a small town has to offer.

The decision to move and your background

Anika Franke describes her move as a long overdue step: "I wanted to go from Berlin for so long, but I still looked for a clue." The possibility of trying the city free of charge made it easier for her to make the decision. During her stay, she not only got to know the community, but also found several housing offers and a job as a board assistant to the management of the management in the NAEMI-Wilke-Stift.

project with foresight: Gubens attraction

The fact that Anika Franke is the first participant to have decided to move permanently is pleased with the return initiative "Guben Tut well". Linda Geiich, one of the initiators, emphasizes the success of the program: "If we can only get a few people to come to Guben, this is a success for us." More than half of the 35 applicants came from Berlin, which indicates that Guben is becoming increasingly popular with city refugees.

integration into the community

Participants of the ProWholar program are also required to actively get involved in the local community. During your time in Guben, you must either get involved in clubs or through internships, which promotes a deeper connection to the city and its residents. This commitment is crucial to position Guben as an attractive place to live and to strengthen the sense of community.

the look into the future

The project is still running until the end of September, and there are already discussions with other participants who also think about moving. The success of this initiative could encourage more people in the long term to accept the advantages of life in Guben and to settle down in the region. The city hopes to continue to increase its attractiveness as a place of residence through this strategy and to draw attention to the positive aspects of small town life.
