Eisenhüttenstadt: Travel for new residents - take a chance now!

Eisenhüttenstadt, Deutschland - Eisenhüttenstadt, a city with a moving history as the first socialist plan city of the GDR, opens its doors to new residents. From September 6 to 2025, the city managers offer the possibility of free test life. Under the motto "Now make plans", interested people should get an insight into life and work in this emerging city in East Brandenburg. Eisenhüttenstadt currently has around 24,000 inhabitants, and the tendency is rising. What is behind this initiative?

The campaign is aimed at those interested in return, commuters, specialists and the self -employed who have a valid work permit and seriously superior to move to Eisenhüttenstadt permanently. Selected participants can live in a furnished apartment for two weeks. Not only is the accommodation, but also a varied leisure program and insights into local companies such as internships and job shadowing. The project aims to get to know the city and its residents better and to discover professional perspectives. As reported by the [SVZ] (http://www.svz.de/regional/brandenburg/neue-residential diverse-stadt-stadt-zum-bielos-ein-3578295), there were similar programs in the neighboring city of Guben last year, where 16 rehearsal parties were selected.

Together shape the future

An important point of the campaign is the mediation to potential participants. Applications for the test life must be submitted in German, and an express commitment by the project team is essential. Interested parties must be aware that it is not an immigration or visa program. Available resources are limited; Only two furnished apartments are available during the test. So the city has made up a lot to increase the attractiveness of the region. Why is that important?

Demographic change does not stop at East Germany either. In cities such as Guben, where Anika Franke leads a program to promote the search for living space, the region is fighting against a falling population. Guben had almost twice as many residents thirty years ago, and Mayor Fred Mahro emphasized the lack of an entire generation. A successful attempt like that in Eisenhüttenstadt could also find imitation in other cities, where population loss is a serious problem. In Guben, for example, only six of the 30 participants followed the long term last year. The local handling of prejudices and the establishment of a welcome culture are crucial to reverse the demographic trend. According to a study, 25% of immigrants think about a emigration, which shows that the climate has to be improved on site to bind people in the long term.

A look into the future

The initiative in Eisenhüttenstadt represents an important element in the endeavor to make East Germany more attractive. Cities like Eberswalde and Frankfurt (Oder) have launched similar programs to attract potential immigrants. It is time to rediscover your home and use the variety of possibilities that this region has to offer. With a creative approach and an open ear for the needs of the immigrants, the region could bloom again in the future and put the positive aspects of life in the foreground. The generation change is a big topic that ultimately also has to be designed by the people who could move to these cities.
