Schleswig-Holstein in turmoil: railway modernization and truck parking space!

in Schleswig-Holstein there is currently a lot of exciting things that affect not only the residents, but also the visitors to the region. A big topic is the modernization of the railway lines, which is to be promoted extensively by 2035. It was originally planned to complete this by 2031, but delays, especially for the important connection between Hamburg and Lübeck, seem inevitable. This route will not be renewed until 2028, while the renovation of the Flensburg-Hamburg route will only be on the agenda from 2035, such as ndr reported.

Speaking of transport: The location on Germany's motorways is also not optimal. According to current surveys, 25,000 truck parking spaces are missing nationwide. The situation on the A1 between Hamburg and Puttgarden is particularly critical, where truck drivers often have to search for parking. According to the Auto Club Europa (ACE) is the average load of parking spaces alarmingly high. A utilization value of 151 percent was determined on examined rest areas. Often trucks have to park on entrances and exits or even on the hard shoulder, which endangers traffic safety.

fishing and environment in change

Another urgent problem affects the fish stocks in the Baltic Sea. The cod, once a popular food fish, shows worrying trends: the population in the Bornholm pool has dropped by 48 percent, is severely affected by overfishing and changed environmental conditions. Existing forecasts indicate that the situation will not improve for the time being, which is why the recommendation to close fishing continues to exist. This applies not only to Dorsch, but also to the herring, the existence of which is below the level required for sustainable fishing. The next inventory calculation for Dorsch in the western waters is only pending in 2025, such as Fischbestage-online.de

The causes of these problems are complex: rising water temperatures and lack of oxygen make the survival of the fish difficult. A bright spot seems to be the herring of the central Baltic Sea, the biomass of which is above the minimum level. Nevertheless, the situation remains tense, as the fishing associations emphasize.

exciting return and sudden hunts

Not only sad news shape today's reporting. A gratifying event announces itself: the Gorch Fock, the legendary sailing school ship, returns to Kiel today and has covered an impressive 17,000 kilometers. On June 27th, the Kiel Week offers the opportunity to visit the ship as part of "Open Ship", which will certainly attract many maritime enthusiasts.

A bizarre event occurred in Uetersen, where an alcoholic 39-year-old fled to the police and damaged several vehicles. Finally he could be stopped with a nail lock, which the police presented with some challenges.
