Signs and wonders

Diet­mar Schulze (SPD) prob­a­bly nev­er dreamed that at the end of his career he would have to work as a pub­lic rela­tions offi­cer in the Low­er Oder Val­ley Nation­al Park Admin­is­tra­tion! The recent­ly elect­ed dis­trict admin­is­tra­tor of the Uck­er­mark has to work until autumn 2018 in order to receive his well-deserved pen­sion. Eight years ago he was on leave as State Sec­re­tary in the Min­istry of Agri­cul­ture to be elect­ed Dis­trict Admin­is­tra­tor in Pren­zlau. The only elec­tion in which Schulze had to face the will of the elec­torate direct­ly, he had then lost a few weeks ago against Kari­na Dörk (CDU). It speaks in favor of Schulze that he now does not take sick leave, but works his eight-hour day five times a week in the nation­al park admin­is­tra­tion in Criewen and pro­motes the nation­al park to the pub­lic. He has a lot to make up for, because he has not yet been noticed as a spe­cial friend and pro­mot­er of nature con­ser­va­tion and the nation­al park. But we hope for gen­tle­ness of old age and good neigh­bors. By the way, Schulze now also has a walk to work and no longer needs to roar through the coun­try in his com­pa­ny car. So far he has nev­er vis­it­ed the Bran­den­burg Acad­e­my in Schloss Criewen, the Nation­al Park Foun­da­tion Unteres Oder­tal or even the Asso­ci­a­tion of Friends of the Ger­­man-Pol­ish Euro­pean Nation­al Park Unteres Oder­tal eV. Now we are eager­ly wait­ing for his inau­gur­al vis­it. Our doors are open to everyone.
