Projects in Lausitz are progressing swiftly, according to Woidke. - Lausitz projects, according to Woidke, are remarkably swift in progress.
Brandenburg, a region known for its rich coal history, is undergoing a significant transformation. This rapid change is a direct result of the coal phase-out decision made five years ago, a move that has opened up new opportunities for the region.
Dietmar Woidke, the Minister President of Brandenburg, has been at the forefront of this change. He recently announced that the first students at the new Medical University of Lusatia - Carl Thiem in Cottbus will be welcomed next year. This university, the first state university of medicine in Brandenburg, is expected to receive an investment of 3.7 billion euros.
The Medical University of Lusatia - Carl Thiem is not the only project receiving substantial funding. By 2038, the state government has made 3.6 billion euros available for Lusatia, with the federal government contributing additional billions. These funds are being used for various projects, including the Medical University, in close coordination with the federal government.
One such project is the ICE maintenance workshop in Cottbus, built in less than 700 days, faster than the Tesla factory in Grünheide. This workshop, expected to create 1,200 new industrial jobs, with 580 already in place, is a testament to Brandenburg's swift progress.
Woidke emphasised that they are not only seizing opportunities but are also moving incredibly fast in this change. He also announced that the first car rolled off the production line at the Tesla factory in Grünheide after 861 days.
The structural development of Lusatia is being supported by the state government through two funding pillars. Besides the universities and industrial projects, the funds are also being used for environmental and infrastructure projects, ensuring a sustainable future for the region.
In addition to the above, the federal government is financing further projects in Lusatia, totaling more than 6.7 billion euros by 2038. The new medical university in Cottbus is expected to start admitting students in 2023, marking another milestone in Brandenburg's transformation.
This rapid change in Lusatia is a testament to the region's resilience and its ability to adapt to new circumstances. As Brandenburg continues to move forward, it is clear that the region is poised for a bright and prosperous future.
