Future of the purple Bäcker-Hallen in Neubrandenburg: Sales and new plans

In Neubrandenburg, a significant structural change is currently visible, which affects many aspects of the local labor market and the economy. The former production facility of the "Lila Bäcker" is for sale, and the associated "de Mäkelbörger" cake manufacturer is also affected by closings. The insolvency administrator is currently working on clearing the buildings and driving the sale.

A new chapter for Neubrandenburg

Despite the uncertain future of the production facilities, there are serious interested parties. A spokesman for the bankruptcy administration emphasized that several inquiries have been received for Neubrandenburg and adjacent to Pasewalk. What is particularly striking is the will of an investor in Pasewalk who plans to resume food production. This could not only serve a new establishment of the industry, but also create jobs in the region.

The consequences of bankruptcy for the employees

The closure has led to hundreds of employees in several federal states, including Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Schleswig-Holstein. A spokesman for the Neubrandenburg employment agency pointed out that many employees were already looking for new jobs, and some were also recruited by other companies. The positive aspect on the labor market could help a large number of employees in this transition phase to quickly find a new job.

Criticism

The Trade Union Food Guest Gaststätten (NGG) has also highlighted the situation and criticized the fact that both an ineffective product policy and an inadequate appreciation of the employees have contributed to bankruptcy. As a starting point for the problems, the bankruptcy of 2019 was received, according to which Lila Bäcker received financial support from the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. An error in the concept as well as high energy costs and a changed purchase behavior of customers were also crucial for the economic difficulties of the company.

Future developments and their importance

Since the bankruptcy mass will soon be distributed among the creditors, the question arises as to what is done with the production halls that are no longer used. The decision as to whether this will go back to the production business or are used for alternative projects will have a major impact on future economic development in Neubrandenburg. The next steps could be decisive for the local employment situation and possibly pave the way for new, innovative companies.

FAZIT

The situation of "Lila Bäcker" and "De Mäkelbörger" shows how quickly companies can change in times of crisis and what repeated challenges come to the employees and the community. Whether there is an upswing in Neubrandenburg and the surrounding area depends not only on the decisions of the insolvency administration, but also on the ability to gain new investors and to promote innovative business ideas in the region.
