Stavenhagen in transition: Last market discussion on urban development!

Things are lively again in Stavenhagen! On Thursday, December 11th, the Die Linke/Counting Community Trautmann faction invites you to the last market discussion of the year. This event, which takes place from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m., is all about urban development and the future direction of the city council. A central item on the agenda will be a proposal to develop a city marketing concept that is intended to strengthen Stavenhagen as a residential as well as a business and tourism location. The applicants emphasize the city's historical and cultural heritage as well as its economic and tourism potential, as Nordkurier reports.

City officials and knowledgeable citizens will be on site to receive suggestions and questions from residents. An exciting conversation partner will be Dennis Burmeister, who was recently nominated as the Left's direct candidate in state parliament constituency 14. The public meeting of city representatives, which will take place on the same day at 7 p.m., also promises interesting discussions. Here, citizens have the opportunity to get involved directly in a residents' question time.

Strengthening the city center

But it's not just the upcoming market discussion that is important for urban development. In September 2023, the regional corporate network took over city management in Stavenhagen. The aim was to increase the attractiveness of the city center for both residents and tourists. One of the first measures was the revision of the overview map “Kummerower and Malchiner See”, which was distributed with a circulation of 25,000 to tourist hotspots and information points in Mecklenburg Switzerland, according to [Network Run](https://www.netzwerk-run.de/ueber-uns/aktuelle-neuigkeiten/ Successful-completion-des-citymanagements-in-stavenhagen).

The updated map is a valuable guide for excursions in the region. The successful Stavenhagen art and regional market also took place on the market square in March and September, focusing on regional products and handicrafts. These markets were highly appreciated by exhibitors and visitors, highlighting the interest in local products.

Cultural highlights

Another highlight was the community festival in July, which featured a graffiti jam in which over 30 artists designed more than 200 meters of wall. An audio guide was also developed for the city center, which includes 26 historical and cultural stations. This initiative was created in collaboration with the local museum and is supported by an advertising campaign and a digital platform.

The cultural significance of the Mecklenburg Switzerland region is particularly highlighted in an article in the specialist magazine museum.de. In conclusion, it can be said that the city management project, which was successfully completed at the end of October 2023, has made lasting contributions to strengthening the city center. City manager Lisa Ruschin was very positive about this and emphasized how important such projects are for the development of urban life.
