Traditional fashion house Sellnau in Lüneburg closes - allegations against city!
A shocking farewell for fashion fans in Lower Saxony! The traditional Sellnau fashion house in Lüneburg, a fixture in the region since 1985, will close at the end of the year. The managing director Sandra Quick-Fries makes serious allegations against the city and blames traffic policy for bankruptcy. "The running costs are simply no longer to be covered," explains the Hamburg insolvency administrator Henning Sämisch.
The problems began when the new owners, Andreas and Sandra Quick, tried to modernize the business with brands like Versace. However, the lack of walk -in and the effects of construction sites, bicycle streets and fewer parking spaces have forced the company to their knees. Lüneburg's mayor Claudia Kalisch reacts to the allegations with incomprehension and emphasizes that the closure has several reasons and that one -sided explanations are not expedient.
Political reactions and public discussion
The closure caused excitement in Lüneburg politics. The CDU raises the alarm and speaks of a "creeping displacement of car traffic". In the meantime, the city emphasizes that there is only a bicycle road and the number of passers -by remained stable. A heated debate burns on social media: some users complain about the traffic situation, while others focus on the changed buying habits of customers.
The fact is: The Sellnau fashion house will soon close its doors, and the last few weeks will be marked by a clearance purchase. Customers have the opportunity to get some bargains while selling out before the shop finally closes on December 24th. While the lights go out in Lüneburg, a new fashion giant opens a flagship store in Munich. A clear reference to the changing retail landscape!
