Ruchheim is celebrating the return of the post office – opening on June 25th!
The time has finally come: after years of negotiations, Ruchheim is getting a new post office! The opening of the branch in the Bojin kiosk, Maxdorfer Straße 4, is scheduled for Wednesday, June 25th. This is an important event for residents who sorely missed the closure of the previous post office in 2021. Mayor Dennis Schmidt (CDU) emphasizes the importance of this new branch for the infrastructural provision of citizens and emphasizes the close exchange with Deutsche Post in order to underline the need for a branch close to home. According to rheinpfalz.de, the new branch will not only benefit older people and people with limited mobility, but also the quality of life in Improve Ruchheim.
Citizens can count on attractive opening times at the new post office. These are Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. and on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. A comprehensive range of services is available, which is a great relief for many residents.
Background information on postal supplies
The closure of the previous post office has severely affected basic postal services in Ruchheim. This is not an isolated case, because many municipalities nationwide are affected by similar problems: According to br.de, there were 141 unoccupied mandatory locations in Germany in July 2024, which means the legal regulation of at least one branch per municipality with over 2,000 inhabitants concerns. This shows how important Deutsche Post's efforts are for the return of branches, especially in rural areas.
The new branch in Ruchheim is not only a local economic gain, but also a sign that Deutsche Post is taking the challenges seriously. The closures of supermarkets and retailers in the area have made the need for a stable postal infrastructure even more important.
The future of post offices
With a new postal law that will come into force from 2025, the situation could be improved in many places. Postal stations that enable the purchase of stamps, the franking of parcels and the delivery of letters can be counted as mandatory locations. This concept could be particularly advantageous for communities like Ruchheim and offer the possibility of securing postal accessibility in the long term.
The people of Ruchheim are already looking forward to the new post office, which not only brings practical benefits, but also contributes to strengthening local retail. The local Bojin kiosk will soon become a hotspot for all postal needs and is therefore another building block for a lively Ruchheim.
