Kossebau: New meeting place strengthens community in the Altmärkische Höhe

Kossebau: New meeting place strengthens community in the Altmärkische Höhe

In an impressive act of community support, the parish of Kossebau has recently successfully implemented three important projects. Thanks to generous donations from the Bürgerenergie Windpark Gagel GmbH & Co. KG and a Bochum financial institution, Pastor Matthias Kruppke was happy to look back on the implementation of these projects. The financial support was urgently needed because the municipal cash registers are gorge, and hardly anything is possible without sponsorship.

The largest project was the extension of the meeting place in Kossebau, which was funded with a whopping 26,000 euros. This facility is not only intended for the parish, but for all citizens. It promotes the quality of life in the country and is a place of encounter and coexistence. Pastor Kruppke emphasizes the importance of this site for the community and is happy about the successful implementation.

renovations for the future

Another important project was the renewal of the church windows in the Stapeler church, which was supported with 11,872 euros. The ravages of time had gnawed on the historic building, and the parish saw a need for action to preserve the beauty and functionality of the church. The St. Nikolaikirche in Bretsch also received an urgently needed renovation, which was funded with 6,132 euros. This church is the largest in the parish area of ​​Kossebau and dates from the 13th century. The now produced accessibility of the entrance area is an important step to facilitate access for everyone, especially for people with mobility restrictions. Pastor Kruppke is grateful for the support from the Altmärkische Höhe municipal council and Mayor Bernd Prange, who made these important projects possible.
