A life in the record: 43 years in the heart of Königs Wusterhausen

Königs Wusterhausen, Deutschland - Königs Wusterhausen, a district with a rich history, is the focus of two remarkable events. On the one hand, Petra Gröhnke has been living in her prefabricated apartment in the Schenkendorfer hallway for 43 years and thus offers a lively insight into the life of the tenants in this region. Gröhnke, who remembers the beginnings of her time in the apartment, tells how her family came to her homely four-room apartment after a petition to the GDR state council. Today she continues to enjoy the low rental prices, while her warm rent of 532.53 euros is extremely pleasant for such a living concept, as on MAZ Online is reported.

festivities in the city

At the same time, Königs Wusterhausen celebrated a big city festival in June 2022, which moved thousands of visitors to the city center. The festive activities were a tribute to the city's history, which were originally planned for 2020, but had to be postponed due to the pandemic. The city festival was opened by the mayor of Königs Wusterhausen, Michaela Wiezorek, and the district mayor of Steglitz-Zehlendorf, Maren Schellenberg, who enjoyed the hustle and bustle together with the king and his entourage. The festival was not only an important moment for the citizens, but also a celebration of the many years of municipal relationships between Königs Wusterhausen and Steglitz-Zehlendorf, as on berlin.de explained.

The partnership between the two cities has historical roots that go back to 1988 when the GDR and West Berlin began to establish municipal connections. Such events promote the sense of community among the residents and contribute to strengthening the neighborhood atmosphere. This combination of long living traditions and festive occasions underlines cultural vitality in Königs Wusterhausen.
