Ferry Missunde II: Delay causes passengers to excitement!

Ferry Missunde II: Delay causes passengers to excitement!

The ferry "Missund II" stays in the shipyard longer than expected! Instead of on Monday, November 4th, she will not resume operation between Kosel and Brodersby until November 11th. The reason for the delay is a serious warehouse damage to the drive shaft, which already led to an unexpected operating interruption in early October. The state company for coastal protection, national park and marine protection (LKN.SH) has extended the duration of the shipyard to test the diesel engine thoroughly. The costs amount to around 90,000 euros, and the ferry is to be operated by the end of 2025/26 before it is replaced by the environmentally friendly “Missunde III”.

The cultural heritage is celebrated in Denmark! The German minority in Denmark and the Federation of German North Schleswig celebrate the German day in Tingleff, Danish on Saturday under the motto "We build bridges". The new chairman of the Danish border association, Mirco Reimer-Elster, is expected as the main speaker. A significant event to strengthen the community and cultural identity!

important developments in healthcare

A milestone for expectant mothers in the district of Schleswig-Flensburg: In February 2025, the first birthplace "Northern Light" opens in the municipality of Twedt. Under the direction of midwife Lena Gieseke, it will offer an alternative to clinics close to home, which is a considerable relief for many pregnant women. So far, they have had to accept long distances because there are only a few birthplaces in Schleswig-Holstein. The renovation of the building is already underway, and the first registrations have already been received!
