Voluntary judges from Stormarn meet for an exchange in Bad Oldesloe

Bad Oldesloe, Deutschland - A significant meeting of the volunteers from Ahrensburg, Reinbek and Lübeck recently took place in the Stormarn district craftsmanship in Bad Oldesloe. Organized by chamber representative Sönke Behnk, the event served to exchange experiences and to strengthen cooperation among the judges. Behnk welcomed those present and particularly thanked the representatives of the State Office for Agriculture as well as the district farmer's chairman Jens Timmermann-Ann and the managing director of the Stormarn Farmers' Association, Peter Koll, for their valuable support.

Chamber President Ute Volquardsen emphasized the importance of volunteering and recalled that the chamber has the right to propose for the volunteer judges, while the appointment is made by jurisdiction. She emphasized that it was crucial to always win new volunteers in order to be well positioned even in the event of failures. In a moving gesture, she honored the judges who were no longer appointed during this term of office and thanked them for their commitment.

important topics and challenges

An exciting short lecture by Peter Koll illuminated the challenges of the court order, especially with regard to structural change in agriculture and the associated “injustices” in the succession. Koll advised those present to avoid the regulations on the succession at an early stage, to avoid judicial disputes. He pointed out that the realities of life have changed in agricultural families, since many farmers are also professionally active outside of business today.

Inga Jensen-Buchholz, judge at the Ahrensburg District Court, was ready for legal questions. She encouraged the participants to contact them with their concerns and provided valuable insights into the proceedings in court. This meeting was not only an opportunity to exchange ideas, but also an important step to strengthen the voluntary judiciary in the region.
