Germany's Federal President, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, is hitting the road and heading to Delitzsch, nestled in the district of Nordsachsen, for a whopping three days in May! According to the Federal Presidential Office, the dates are May 20 to 22.
You bet your boots this trip is no vacation – it's all part of Steinmeier's "Local Time Germany" series, a fantastic initiative aimed at bridging the gap between the federal government and local communities by shedding light on regional issues. By setting up shop in Delitzsch, Steinmeier aims to get a first-hand look at the challenges and opportunities faced by this region.
Delitzsch has fought some major battles in recent decades and emerged as a city and region that's reinvented itself. The municipality boasts an economic pulse from the northern Leipzig area and the planned major research center "Center for the Transformation of Chemistry," part of the Structural Strengthening Act for coal regions.
The jam-packed itinerary includes political discussions, a citizen chat on conscription (although, the details are still under wraps), a visit to the new Elberitzbad, a hang with co-op reps, and an award ceremony for superstar citizens with the Federal Cross of Merit.
