Future of the VHS Bad Bramstedt uncertain: Who takes over the helm?

The annual general meeting of the Volkshochschule (VHS) Bad Bramstedt revealed worrying developments regarding their future. Since June 2023, the VHS has not had a chairman because the previous chairman Franziska Frahm-Fischer and Anja Pfeiffer had announced their offices. Mayor Felix Carl was not able to present any successor schedule at the meeting, which increases the uncertainty about the continuation of the educational offers.

While 22 members arrived at the annual general meeting, nobody was ready to take over the successor. Despite this difficult situation, the will to maintain the VHS offer in Bad Bramstedt remains. Frahm-Fischer emphasized that their decision to give up the lead was final because the workload had become too high.
