Vegesacker Markt: Temporary solution becomes a permanent solution for showmen!
The situation onVegesacker marketremains a bit tricky this year too. Once again, the showmen have to resort to a makeshift solution to supply their stands with electricity. The reason for this is safety concerns, which is why the power supply is organized outside the existing transformer house. As was the case last year, this solution appears to be a temporary solution and could soon become permanent. Weser courier reports that the delivery time for the new power system is around 40 weeks and the estimated costs will rise to around 320,000 euros.
After much back and forth, the financing for 2025 now seems to have been clarified. This is particularly pleasing because previous disagreements between the parties involved caused uncertainty. This year, Wesernetz will also cover the costs for construction and dismantling, which were around 23,000 euros last year. In addition to the infrastructure costs, 75,000 euros are also available for the planned modernization of the existing facility, and planning for this has already begun.
Discussions about use and public services
Interestingly, there was no discussion about alternative uses for the large parking lot in Aumund, which could be considered for events such as the circus or a bouncy castle park, among other things. The debate about the necessity of the unused transformer house for municipal services has so far failed. This remains an unanswered issue in municipal planning.
However, one ray of hope remains: despite the unconventional temporary measures that will be used in the coming years, the Hanseatic city will not suffer any financial disadvantages. The ongoing challenges to the electricity supply continue to pose major tasks for those responsible, as the Vegesack market is a popular attraction that citizens do not want to miss.
