New post office in Bad Pyrmont: Fresh duo brings service back!

There is exciting news in Bad Pyrmont: a new post office will soon be opening on Bathildisstrasse. The operators are the dynamic duo Regina Tripel and Paulo Teixeira, who have decided to make a new start in this charming city. The scheduled opening date for the branch, which will be built in a former Tipico office, is July 23, 2023. Only 200 meters from the Postbank branch that is currently scheduled to close, the new “Kiosk Regina” offers a wide range of offerings.

The old Postbank branch will close its doors on July 29, 2023, causing concern among many residents. It is all the more pleasing that the kiosk creates an immediate alternative. Tripel and Teixeira, who have lived in Bad Pyrmont since January 2023, have already received countless positive feedback from neighbors, which indicates great interest in the new offers. The kiosk's opening hours are set from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., while the post office's opening hours are still being planned. Customers can rely on a wide range of products: from drinks and snacks to parcels and letters.

Political support for maintaining postal services

But that's not all. Bad Pyrmont's politicians are also getting involved to ensure the preservation of postal and postal bank branches. Especially in times when, according to the Federal Network Agency, there are fewer and fewer post offices in rural areas, such initiatives are worth their weight in gold. In July 2024, 141 mandatory post office locations were unoccupied, which poses challenges for rural and urban residents. Radio active draws attention to the fact that places with more than 4,000 inhabitants must have a post office within a maximum distance of two kilometers.

But the decline in branches is increasingly raising questions. There are currently almost 13,000 branches in Germany, but legal requirements are often not adhered to, especially in rural areas. A spokesman for Deutsche Post highlighted the difficulties in setting up new branches in these regions and explained that the closure of retailers often also affects postal locations. daily news reports that the opening of ATMs is being considered as a partial solution to continue providing citizens with access to postal services.

Overall, it can be seen that the construction of the new post office in Bad Pyrmont is not only a relief for the residents, but is also a sign that the community is actively committed to their needs. If the opening on July 23, 2023 is successful, this should be a step in the right direction at a time when the local supply of services is increasingly being tested.
