Village Development and Jubilee Preparations

In March 2026, the Local Advisory Board of Haubern intensively addressed the planning and preparation for the 825th anniversary. Starting with the jubilee year in June 2026, not only historical aspects will be honored, but village development will also be actively advanced. A central project is the herb garden, which will be completed by the end of May. It will not only serve as an attractive gathering point for residents and visitors but will also be barrier-free with the installation of an accessible toilet.

Additionally, the elevated water tower will be enhanced before the start of the jubilee. The measures are already in planning and will be funded from the local budget. The Local Advisory Board also proposed repurposing the ping-pong table for the celebration, which is currently being internally evaluated. The DGH pub and the enhancement plan for the elevated water tower were acknowledged with appreciation.

Road Safety and Infrastructure

In addition to the jubilee projects, topics of road safety and infrastructure were also in focus. The Local Advisory Board is advocating for the installation of traffic mirrors at the intersection of Heckwaldstraße and Kirchstraße to minimize accident risks. Likewise, the widening of the disabled parking space will be pursued further in the next meeting. These measures are part of a broader effort to sustainably improve the quality of life in Haubern.

Staffing and Communication Structure

Another focus was on staff planning. The Local Advisory Board announced that the first meeting with the candidate for the caretaker position at the DGH pub, starting on April 1, 2026, had taken place. This shows that the village structure is being actively shaped and staffed. Additionally, the water quality in the Haubern pond will be monitored regularly in the future, which is both ecologically and important for tourism.

Other Developments

Another project discussed by the council members is the management of village community centers. The goal is to ensure that these spaces remain usable for cultural and social events. In this context, the long-term energy requirements and maintenance obligations of community buildings were also addressed.

Overview and Outlook

March 2026 in Frankenberg was particularly marked by the work of the Local Advisory Board of Haubern, which actively cared for the village's future.
