Amt Gartz (Oder), den 12.10.2014

Already in May 2013 Reuters reported positive news about the Amt in Gartz, Germany.  The Amt is the governing entity of municipalities in smaller rural communities.  The catchment county is 105 square miles in area.  Approximately 7,000 residents reside.  Szczecin, Poland is the nearest major metropolitan entity that many people in the area depend upon for commerce.  Given the last 100 years of political turmoil the boundaries have vacillated dramatically as history illustrates. Times are changing for the better.

 

The youthful local administration in Gartz, Frank Gotzmann, is making strides in bonding the German and Polish communities together in a working relationship that benefits everyone.  As Gotzmann states “Szczecin is okay, not the center of the universe but the center of region…………we try to work together as is the only solution for us”. Szczecin businessman Zbigniew Sawicki goes further in endorsing the melding of community given the purchases of property by many Polish professionals in the area. Is noticeable the opening of local businesses in Gartz and the sense of sharing/coming together.
