New vehicle inspection center in Stralsund: women's power conquers traffic!
A fresh wind is blowing through Stralsund: a vehicle inspection center that is unrivaled in Germany is opening at Heinrich-Heine-Ring 73. Because it is completely in women's hands and is run by two committed women, Stephanie Heise and Lisa Plaszymski. Stephanie Heise has brought exciting experience as a testing engineer since joining the industry in 2010. Lisa Plaszymski, who has only recently joined the team, takes on the important liability reports and ensures that everything runs smoothly. This innovative initiative has received a great response from drivers and proves that women can be successful in this industry. The expanded vehicle registration authority also offers modern equipment, including an electronic call system, which makes the visit as pleasant as possible. Those interested can even book an appointment online – very easily, around the clock.
On Sunday, November 3rd, an era ended in Stralsund: the traditional Hotel Scheelehof had to close its doors. After failed negotiations with a potential investor, all employees were laid off, which affected many people in Stralsund. The building's reputation was widespread locally, and the end of this institution leaves questions unanswered about the building's future.
Commitment to refugee aid
While Stralsund is struggling with losses, there are also bright spots. Heiko Kauffmann, 77 years old and from Tribsees, was recently awarded the Federal Cross of Merit for his tireless commitment to helping refugees. Kauffmann was a co-initiator of the Asylum Working Group in Tribsees over ten years ago and has since then worked intensively for the integration of refugees. His award is recognition of the valuable work he does in the community.
During this time, Marc Baron, a former emergency doctor, also found his place in the region. Over two years ago he opened his general medicine practice in Born, where he now has the pleasure of spending more time with his family. A real gain for him, who can now combine quality of life and professional satisfaction.
Recently, the topic of energy became relevant again when Mitropa built a boiler house for its hotel in Sassnitz in the 1980s to meet the challenges of the oil crisis. Such historically important decisions show how important it is to react to circumstances and take responsibility.
However, in a constantly changing environment, the region remains on course and shows that challenges can always bring new opportunities.
Citizens can find further information about the new services from the vehicle registration authority on the official website of the city of Stralsund, which provides all the details about registration, de-registration and re-registration as well as digital appointment reservations. You can also find out more about the current situation in Stralsund from the Ostsee-Zeitung.
