Renovation of the Rewe market: Closure by September 2025!

Prenzlau, Deutschland - The Rewe market in Prenzlauer Steinstraße will temporarily close its doors from mid-May, such as Nordkurier reported. This rumor has already spread in the district town because the market is particularly popular with residents. Matthias Becker, owner of the market, confirmed that the closure will probably take until the middle or end of September. The temporary closure should be related to the last construction phase in Steinstraße, which makes it impossible for trucks to the shop ramp.

During the closure, the sales area of around 1000 square meters is extensively modernized. No such renovation has taken place since the market was taken over in 2012. The cooling systems, the machine room and the shelves are renewed. Matthias Becker made it clear that an expansion of the sales area was not provided, as this is not possible due to the property situation. In addition, the backshop operated by "Märkisch Edel" will disappear in the entrance area, while Rewe will offer its own baking range in the future.

consequences of the closure for the employees

The 25 employees of the market are also affected by the time of closure. Becker plans to hold the team together after the reopening in September by unemployed by the employees, but with the promise to be set again. During the closure phase, some employees are used in other markets, while an apprentice will continue his training in Angermünde. The conversion leads to considerable personnel costs without being able to achieve income. Before the closure, the goods are transferred to other markets.

For customers, especially for older people who rely on safe shopping, the closure could be a challenge. In the future, however, a traffic island will be built in front of the market, which is intended to help the street more securely, which reduces the path to the pedestrian traffic light.

A similar renovation also takes place in Cremlingen, where a Rewe market is torn down and replaced by modern new buildings, as Cremlingen Online . Construction will start in the summer of 2023 and the opening is planned at the end of 2024. The new market will have sustainable architecture to increase energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions.
