Tears to say goodbye: Jena loses the most popular tobacco shop after 17 years!
On Saturday, December 21, Thorsten Rose finally closed his tobacco, lottery and press shop in Jena after 17 years. A farewell that encountered mixed feelings with his loyal customers. "The greeting cards with you were the most beautiful," said a wistful customer when she said goodbye to a shop that wrote many stories. Rose, who previously worked as a fitter, decided to go into self -employment after not continuing the physically exhausting work to retire. But in recent years it has become increasingly difficult: increased costs and falling profits led to the final decision to close the shop. Despite all of this, the 59-year-old looks optimistically into the future-his rental contract runs until March, even if the doors are now staying, and hope for a new job as a locksmith is still available, like thuringia24 reported.
commitment is awarded
While the shop closes in Jena, social cohesion in Thuringia is celebrated: On July 11, 2024, the winners of the "Thuringian Rose" will be awarded in Eisenach, an honor for committed citizens who have emerged in voluntary and charitable work. Minister of Social Affairs Heike Werner emphasizes how important this commitment to society is: "The stories of the award winners impressively show how people invest their time and a lot of passion to help others," she explains. The excellent initiatives include the project of the Granzow couple, which promotes inclusion in Eisfeld, and Dr. Dieter Anton, who, as chairman of the school support association, launched numerous projects at the community school Otto Lilienthal in Erfurt. This award is to continue the selflessly, which stands in memory of Saint Elisabeth, and supports the basic values of charity and selflessness, such as Tmasgff describes.
