Christmas magic in danger: kitchen fire puts a strain on Aurich's business community!
In Aurich, a kitchen fire in Café Extrablatt causes great uncertainty among merchants and ushers in the contemplative time of the year with mixed feelings. The chairman of the commercial association, Udo Hippen, speaks loudly NWZ Online Concerns that the necessary repair work could affect the Christmas magic in the city.
With a particular focus on the upcoming Christmas market, which is expected to attract many visitors, merchants are afraid of restrictions that could arise from containers or similar measures. There were similar challenges last year that went down in history as “construction site magic”.
An open ear for the concerns of merchants
The Extrablatt operations manager cannot currently provide detailed information about the exact damage or the schedule of repairs. However, Mayor Horst Feddermann shows understanding for the business association's concerns and takes their concerns seriously. There is no promise that no work will take place during the Christmas magic, which further inflames the merchants' tempers. The association therefore vehemently calls for work to be avoided that could jeopardize the magic of the Christmas season.
It is also unclear to what extent the damage, both to the facade and inside the house, needs to be repaired. While the damage to the facade is urban, the responsibility for the repairs inside lies with the extra leaf. Another point that causes additional uncertainty is the possible start of gutting work in November or December.
Positive impulses for the city center

The shops also open from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. to offer people a varied shopping experience, as on kaufmaennischer-verein.de is to be read.
