Celebrate! 20 years of Löcknitz home club - a festival for everyone!

The Löcknitz Heimat- und Burgverein is faced with a special occasion: On June 21, 2025, the club celebrates its 20th anniversary on the idyllic castle meadow. Preparations for this festival are already in full swing, and the anticipation is great. From 2:30 p.m. not only the members, but also guests are cordially invited to participate in this special day. The celebrations include a long coffee table in which the sociable get -together is in the foreground.

A highlight of the afternoon will be the live music of the duo "Rock2" from Torgelow, which will heat the mood with suitable sounds. In addition, an exhibition will be opened from 2 p.m. that will show volunteer work in the castle gallery for the past 20 years. The club members can proudly look back on their work and appreciate their commitment. The evening will end with a dance event from 7 p.m. with DJ Jürgen in midsummer night.

Review of the latest assembly

An important step on the way to this anniversary was the annual general meeting, which took place on January 24th in the Hotel "Haus am See". Despite illness -related absences, 33 members were present. The meeting lasted 45 minutes and was gratifying: the board received discharge after a detailed activity, finance and test report. In addition, unanimous resolutions for 2025 were taken, including an exciting project idea for cooperation with the Löcknitz regional school.

The former mayor of Löcknitz, Mr. Meistring, traveled from Berlin to attend the meeting. A warm moment was the award of active members with the certificate of honor and the admission of four members as honorary members. Another two members were awarded the MV volunteer card. Secretary Jürgen Karlstedt presented hundreds of photos from which a selection for the exhibition is made in June.

The challenges for clubs

In the past 15 years, the framework conditions for clubs have changed considerably. Data protection and financial regulations have found its way and require the board of directors to adhere to strict regulations. Liability for board members in particular has intensified, and since 2015 they have been held accountable for negligent action. Many clubs, including the Heimat- und Burgverein, strive to actively meet these challenges and to gain new members through creative solutions and modern communication channels in order to remain attractive and relevant.

Similar to the importance of the anniversary, the celebration of the association is perceived as an expression of cohesion and tradition in the region. Preparations are in full swing, and the anticipation for June 21 is noticeable. The festival for the summer solstice is a welcome occasion to celebrate volunteering and the joint performance - here in Löcknitz, where common sense is very important.

We look forward to numerous guests and an unforgettable day!
