Germering is planning for the future: culture, specialists and more expensive peace!

Germering, Deutschland - In Germering it is bubbling! At the citizens' meeting, essential issues were addressed that affect the entire city. Kathrin Jacobs, the head of the cultural office, invited all citizens to stop by every Thursday between 4 and 6 p.m. at the "cultural consultation hour" and to take part in the cultural round table. She described the town hall as the "high-performance event center" because it not only houses cultural events, but can also be rented for private occasions. The focus on culture is at the top of the agenda to promote a lively exchange.

fight for skilled workers!

Another hot topic was the urgently needed specialists in the daycare area. Martin Rattenberger, from the Office for Youth, Family, Seniors, Social Affairs and Schools, reported intensive efforts to close this gap. The qualification of career changers and foreign specialists in particular is in the foreground here. The city places great hopes in this strategy to ensure the quality of the care for the little ones.

Not everything is rosy! Dagmar Hager, responsible for administration, announced massive price increases in the cemeteries. Grave prices could increase by up to 20 percent - an unpleasant message for many! In addition, Head of Office Renate Konrad gave an impressive number: 525 employees are available to the city, including 25 trainees. The population is growing continuously and now has a total of 42,929 inhabitants. The costs for personnel, construction work and renovations increase immeasurably.

financial challenges!

treasurer René Mroncz warned of difficult financial times: next year, investments of almost 30 million euros are on the agenda. However, the fluctuating income from the income tax is a major challenge. Mroncz hopes for a small plus of 0.2 million by the end of the year, but the current reports on the economic situation ring alarm bells.
