Business representatives in Ratzeburg: Together for a strong future!
On June 18, 2025, important players in the Ratzeburg economy met for a fruitful exchange of ideas. Uwe Martens, the SPD parliamentary group leader, and Klaus Priebe, deputy chairman of the AWTS, met in a get-together format with representatives from services, trade, crafts and gastronomy to discuss pressing issues and challenges facing the local economy. This meeting lasted around two hours and served to promote dialogue between business owners and the city administration, according to reports herzogtum-direkt.de.
The discussion points were diverse and reflected the current needs and wishes of the Ratzeburg economy. A central concern was to optimize communication from the town hall so that concerns and challenges can be quickly forwarded to the responsible authorities. The participants also wanted a solution-oriented and pragmatic approach to existing problems.
Important topics and measures
A particularly hot topic was the consideration of the interests of traders in the planned market square redesign. The preservation of parking spaces and the usability of the open space were at the top of the list. Furthermore, improving traffic management on the island was discussed in order to make everyday life for Ratzeburgers easier. A proposal that was also discussed was the introduction of a tourist tax to promote tourism. Some of the points discussed should be taken up immediately by the SPD parliamentary group, while others require longer-term discussions.
The idea of holding another meeting in the fall to further delve into the concerns of the Ratzeburg economy was met with great interest. These fundamental discussions are a first step in the right direction to improve communication between businesses and administration, the company also states SPD Ratzeburg firmly.
Integration of economy and urban development
The exchange of ideas in Ratzeburg takes place against the background of recent studies on cooperative urban development. These studies emphasize the need for better integration of economic actors in local development projects. One such initiative, known as KOWIS, aims to actively involve companies in cooperative urban development projects in order to take into account the wishes and needs of both business and the city administration. Important topics include the recruitment of skilled workers, public services and infrastructure development, such as Federal Institute for Building, Urban and Spatial Research described in detail.
As we can see, the dialogue between the actors in Ratzeburg's economy and the city administration remains essential for the future of the region. It remains exciting to see what progress can be made in the fall and how the implementation of the topics discussed will be advanced. The exchange has already laid the foundation for a lively and active economic community that would like to work even more closely together in the future.
