Good morning,
Everything that is important, put together by me for you. Have a good start to the day!
New deadline for school enrollment: Parents in TF are allowed to leave children in daycare longer
That’s what it’s about: In Teltow-Fläming, parents were recently able to keep their children in daycare longer, even if they were medically ready for school. This is what a doctor from Ludwigsfelde reports.
This is the background: The state of Brandenburg wants to change the deadline for school enrollment (previously September 30th) and bring it forward to June. With more deferrals, the number of students should be better distributed over several years.
This is what the doctor says: “Children who turn six between the end of June and September 30th are often not yet fully developed,” explains Yvonne Konecny from the health department in TF, which tests all children before they start school.
Entrepreneur Sven Reimer prefers to invest in the USA than in Zossen
This is the situation: The economic conditions in Germany currently encourage medium-sized companies to invest in their homeland much less than before. This has such an impact on company balance sheets that even small regional companies are becoming active overseas.
This is also not so good news: For Sven Reimer from Zossen, these general conditions add a completely different reason to invest in Florida, USA. From conversations with neighbors and business partners from Dresden, Berlin and the Harz region, he realizes that he is far from alone in his opinion, he tells MAZ.
This is what experts say: The experts at the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DIHK) know exactly how the situation is and what needs to change in the German economy to improve it. They support their and Reimer’s findings with a current study.
Strike at Mercedes in Ludwigsfelde
This is announced: IG Metall has again called for strikes in Ludwigsfelde today. The employees of MTU, Gestamp and Mercedes should stop work and demonstrate in front of the factory gates for more pay and better working conditions.
This is what IG Metall demands: Seven percent more wages and an increase in training allowances of 170 euros for a period of 12 months are the union’s core demands.
This is the situation at Mercedes: But Mercedes is about more than money. The future of many employees at the location is still uncertain. Series production could move from Ludwigsfelde after 2030. IG Metall warns that the site could bleed dry.
New chief physician for surgery and orthopedics in Luckenwalde
This is what will happen: Particularly gentle hip joint operations are now being offered at the KMG Klinikum Luckenwalde. Since this week, Rüdiger Schultka, a specialist in the so-called Superpath procedure, has been the new chief physician in the Department of Trauma Surgery and Orthopedics.
That’s why this is important: Operations for an artificial hip joint are among the most common procedures in Germany, especially for older patients. At the Luckenwalde Clinic, a manageable regional hospital with almost 260 beds, around 56 such operations are carried out every year.
What else you should know: With the Superpath method, muscles are not damaged and the joint capsule is preserved. Further information is available on the clinic website kmg-kliniken.de available.
