Mall might not need to seek a new occupant.
The historic Marstall at the Schlossgarten in Neustrelitz, undergoing a multi-million euro renovation by the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, may face an uncertain future due to financial constraints. The Theater and Orchestra GmbH Neubrandenburg/Neustrelitz (TOG) has recently announced that the cost increases in the renovation of the Marstall have made it unaffordable for them, raising concerns about potential financial difficulties.
The brakes were applied in the spring, initiating the termination of the lease contract for the Marstall. However, discussions with the state about the use of the Marstall are ongoing, and the Commercial Managing Director of the TOG, Malte Bähr, has stated that the termination of the lease contract is not final.
If basic financing can be secured, there is a possibility for the TOG to continue using the Marstall as a rehearsal space. The side wings of the Marstall were to be prepared for rehearsal rooms and props for the theater, with costs to be passed on to the theater's rent payments for 30 years.
The construction work on the Marstall is scheduled to be completed in 2026. The shareholders - the cities of Neustrelitz and Neubrandenburg, as well as the Mecklenburgische Seenplatte district - are signaling support for maintaining the existing staffing plan. This support from shareholders is essential for the TOG's financial situation, as the cultural operation of the TOG expects a difficult financial situation in the coming years.
The state is open to compromise regarding the cost increases for the Marstall renovation. If a way forward can be found, an event hall with 400 seats is being created in the former riding hall of the Marstall. The possible use of the Marstall has been discussed, but it is not yet a binding decision.
It is worth noting that the search results do not contain information about the Neustrelitz State Theater's use of the Marstall project beyond 2028. Therefore, there is no direct evidence from the results to determine if the Neustrelitz State Theater's use of the Marstall project can be saved if basic financing is secured until 2028.
In conclusion, the future of the Marstall in Neustrelitz remains uncertain, with ongoing discussions between the TOG and the state. The key to preserving or continuing the use of the Marstall project appears to be the TOG's ability to secure basic financing. The support from shareholders and the state's willingness to compromise offer a glimmer of hope for the historic building next to the Neustrelitz State Theater, which has not yet had its door closed for use.
Politics and general news have been raised as the historic Marstall, undergoing renovation in Neustrelitz, faces an uncertain future due to financial constraints. The potential financial difficulties have initiated discussions about the use of the Marstall, with the state showing willingness to compromise over cost increases. The future of the Marstall, a rehearsal space for the Theater and Orchestra GmbH Neubrandenburg/Neustrelitz, may be secured if basic financing can be secured for its continuation past 2026.
