Lindner's appearance in Rostock: foam cake and alarm start the Eurofighter!

On Thursday, FDP boss Christian Lindner appeared on the Rostock Unplanz, after he had previously been attacked by a woman with a foam cake in Greifswald. During his speech in Rostock, Lindner explained the political goals of his party, but was disturbed by some young listeners.

On Wednesday there was an alarm start in Germany. This was triggered by a warning of the Dutch military about a supposed drone flight object in German airspace. However, the Eurofighter pilots were able to quickly identify the alleged object as a weather balloon from Great Britain.

disappeared traffic signs and violence against homeless people

In Rostock, there are increasing problems with the disappearance of green sheet metal arrows at traffic lights that date from the GDR period. A current study points out that these arrows are a threat to road traffic. After all, there are still some of these arrows in the Rövershäger Chaussee and at the shipyard triangle.

Street worker Martin Bednarz was shocked by a brutal attack on a homeless person who was recently attacked by young people. This is not the first incident of this kind, because last year a homeless person was attacked with an iron bar. Bednarz has already helped 13 homeless people to get off the street and start a new life.

offers for homeless in Rostock

The city of Rostock offers several help offers for homeless people, including emergency accommodation and soup kitchens. A planned project under the name "Housing First" should provide apartments for homeless people. Jan, a homeless person, has been living on the street for ten years and has settled in a wooden hut in the Lütten district. He receives social welfare, sells the street newspaper "straw" and collects deposit bottles.

The help offers in Rostock include night -time dachts by the Rostock city mission, which offer enough space for homeless people. Hartwig Vogt from the city mission emphasizes that nobody in Rostock has to stay outside. The "Below 1" meeting place of folk solidarity enables people to enjoy warm meals and wash their laundry. At the same time, Social Senator Steffen Bockhahn explains that the existing help offers are not suitable for all homeless people.

The "Housing First" approach stipulates that people first receive an apartment to solve their problems. Details on the start of this program in Rostock have not yet been known. A positive example is the Krüger family (name changed), who experienced homelessness and found accommodation in the integrative care center of the city mission. After stabilizing their everyday life, they found a new apartment with the support of social workers.
