Wilhelmshaven notary Wanner: Visions for our region!

Wilhelmshaven notary Wanner: Visions for our region!

In the lively city of Wilhelmshaven, where tradition and innovation often go hand in hand, Jussi Wanner, a lawyer, notary and entrepreneur, has taken the helm. Growing up in a family of lawyers, he strives not only to continue his father's legacy, but also to explore new creative paths. Personal experiences, including his father's serious illness, have deeply influenced him and motivated him to continue the family tradition. In his new podcast “Gezeitengänger” he offers exciting insights into his visions and the challenges of entrepreneurship.

Jussi Wanner sees himself as a mediator between the values ​​of the traditional notary and the dynamic requirements of modern entrepreneurship. First, he was forced to deal with his father's serious illness, which opened his eyes to the need to continue the family business with a breath of fresh air and creative concepts. Among other things, he launched the “Housetime” concept together with his wife Anni. This project creates spaces for encounters, retreat and exchange - not only for the local community, but also for regional guests.

A place of meeting

A concrete example of their efforts is “Das Annis” in Wangerland, a converted farmstead that is intended as a meeting place. Jussi Wanner attaches great importance to regional identity and criticizes the fact that Wilhelmshaven and the surrounding area are often spoken of negatively. “We have to emphasize the positive aspects,” he emphasizes in his podcast. However, the legal aspect of his work remains essential to him, and he sees the balance between legal obligations and creative ideas as one of his great strengths.

At a time when many family businesses are facing challenges, the question of succession is particularly pressing. A recent analysis shows that many entrepreneurs find themselves in a dilemma: their strong emotional ties to the company can inhibit innovation and jeopardize competitiveness. The clarification of business transfers and the avoidance of problematic communities of heirs are therefore essential points that Wanner also takes up in his discussions. Family dynamics play a central role, especially in family businesses. Wanner himself sees the role of the family as a source of support and inspiration.

Visions for the future

Wanner highlights the opportunities that can arise for future generations as long as issues such as business valuation, inheritance law and succession planning are dealt with in a timely manner. Securing company succession is important to him: “It’s not just about assets, but also about preserving values,” he explains. For him, a will to plan succession is just as necessary as being open to the concerns of all family members.

The challenges are diverse, but Jussi Wanner has a good sense of the opportunities that are available to him and other entrepreneurs. By sharing his experiences and ideas in the podcast, he wants to encourage others to actively participate in shaping their own regional identity. “We are all part of this community,” he concludes his contribution, thus providing a call for active participation in shaping one’s own living environment.
