of a regional NATO maritime command headquarters at the German navy base in Rostock East Germany … constitutes gross violation of the spirit and letter of the Two Plus Four Agreement paragraph 3 of which mandates Germany to prevent the stationing and deployment of foreign armed forces on the territory of the former East Germany.” Russia's Foreign Ministry summoned the German ambassador in Moscow to express a “strong protest” over Berlin’s new military base in the former East Germany Germany inaugurated a navy headquarters in Rostock a northern city on the coast of the Baltic Sea In a statement published on the Foreign Ministry’s website Russia compared the creation of the base to the pre-WWII Nazi militarization of Germany accusing Berlin’s “curators in Washington” of “historical amnesia” and of being “direct accomplices” in Germany’s “infringement” of a Cold War-era treaty dubbed the Two Plus Four Agreement The United States, Britain, France and the Soviet Union, together with East and West Germany, finalized the treaty in 1990 in New York It granted Germany full sovereignty and reunified the nation which had been divided into a Soviet-controlled East and a pro-Western West after World War II paragraph 3 of which mandates Germany to prevent the stationing and deployment of foreign armed forces on the territory of the former East Germany,” the Russian Foreign Ministry stated The Treaty’s Article 5, paragraph 3 regards the time frame following the withdrawal of the Soviet troops from Germany It states that “Following the completion of the withdrawal of the Soviet armed forces .. units of German armed forces assigned to military alliance structures in the same way as those in the rest of German territory may also be stationed in that part of Germany Foreign armed forces and nuclear weapons or their carriers will not be stationed in that part of Germany or deployed there.” That seemed to confirm the accuracy of the Russian Foreign Ministry’s claim the ministry omitted a key part of the treaty: Article 6 which states that the conditions of Article 5 paragraph 3 no longer apply after Germany joins an alliance “The right of the united Germany to belong to alliances, with all the rights and responsibilities arising therefrom, shall not be affected by the present Treaty.” The navy headquarters in Rostock is a German national headquarters led by a German admiral While Germany’s national operations staff DEU MARFOR established at the German navy headquarters in 2019 officers from other NATO countries will also be serving on the base “The new multinational Baltic headquarters .. has the capability to perform tasks for NATO The German authorities have made clear that it does not violate the treaty in any way,” Commander Arlo Abrahamson “Germany is a sovereign country under the Two Plus Four Treaty and can use its armed forces on its territory as it wishes,” Abrahamson said German Minister of Defense Boris Pistorius stressed the base’s importance for the security of the Baltic region “is inseparable from the security of all of Europe.” “The importance of the region has become even more evident against the background of the ongoing Russian aggression in our immediate neighborhood,” Pistorius said NATO members that are hemmed in by the Baltic Sea The Baltic States were formerly occupied by the Soviet Union and view NATO membership as a means of maintaining their security and independence The facility at Rostok will play an important role in their defense has two core missions: “to plan maritime exercises and operations and to lead naval forces assigned by NATO in times of peace The base will also play “a key role in fostering cooperation between the allied navies in the Baltic Sea region.” NATO’s Abrahamson told VOA that Russia’s war against Ukraine prompted NATO to increase its presence in the Baltic region based on the German Navy Command in Rostock will bolster NATO’s defense readiness in the Baltic Sea region It will protect trade routes and critical infrastructure And it will be capable of leading operations for NATO German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius and the state Premier of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Manuela Schwesig (both Social Democrats SPD) inaugurated the Commander Task Force (CTF) Baltic The immediate task of CTF Baltic is to establish a so-called “situational maritime picture” in the Baltic Sea as part of NATO’s war offensive against Russia Pistorius left no doubt as to what this concerns Not defending freedom and democracy—as stated in the official propaganda—but about enforcing tangible imperialist interests “The Baltic Sea has always been a crossroads of European history and is much more than just a waterway,” said the defence minister It is a strategic area of great geopolitical importance and a front line in our collective defence against evolving threats.” the security of the Baltic Sea region is inextricably linked to the security of Europe as a whole The region’s importance has become even more apparent in light of Russia’s ongoing aggression in our immediate neighbourhood.” the main aggressor in Europe is not Russia Through their long-standing military encirclement of Russia they consciously provoked the reactionary intervention of Putin’s regime in Ukraine Now they are escalating the conflict further and further in order to put the resource-rich country under increased military pressure and ultimately subjugate it “We must ensure that Putin does not get his way We must defend ourselves and do everything we can to support our partners on NATO’s eastern flank,” Pistorius threatened “Germany has once again taken a step forward and is ready to show responsibility and take the lead as a global trading and seafaring nation in the Baltic Sea region.” which already expanded violently eastward during the two world wars of the 20th century sees the establishment of the NATO headquarters under German leadership as an opportunity to increase its military weight in NATO and especially in Northern and Eastern Europe Pistorius made no secret of the fact that this is about preparing an open war against Russia The headquarters will “play a decisive role in the preparation of military situational reports and in the response to regional challenges including the protection of the interests of NATO member states against aggressive acts especially in view of the proximity of Russia,” Pistorius declared It would “also play a key role in promoting cooperation between the navies of the Baltic Sea region improving interoperability and ensuring the rapid deployment of forces when needed.” In several interviews at the beginning of the year Pistorius had already stated that Germany must prepare for a direct military confrontation with Russia this insane plan has been systematically advanced The German government is gearing its entire structure towards war sending combat troops to Lithuania directly on the Russian border and stationing US long-range missiles in Germany that are directed against Moscow Now it is also supporting the Biden administration’s decision to grant Kiev permission to attack targets deep inside Russia with long-range missiles it is provoking a military response from the nuclear power In response to the inauguration of CTF Baltic The ambassador was informed that “this step by the ruling circles in Germany continues the creeping revision of the results of the Second World War and the militarisation of the country,” the Russian Foreign Ministry stated in an official press release It was “a gross violation” of the Two Plus Four Agreement Brussels and Berlin must “be aware that the expansion of NATO’s military infrastructure into the territory of the former GDR [East Germany] will have extremely negative consequences and will not go without a corresponding response from Russia.” It is obvious that the establishment of a NATO headquarters on the territory of the former GDR violates the “Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany” of September 12 paragraph 3 of the Treaty stipulates: “Foreign forces and nuclear weapons or their carriers shall not be stationed or deployed in this part of Germany.” CTF Baltic in Rostock is commanded by a German admiral But the position of his deputy is initially being occupied by a Polish admiral and that of the chief of staff by a Swedish officer Subordinate leadership positions are also filled by personnel from different nations personnel from 11 other nations are involved in CTF Baltic: Denmark military personnel from these and other partner countries can fill 60 of 180 multinational posts in CTF Baltic National responsibilities are to change at least every four years The Putin regime’s denunciation of the breach of the Two Plus Four Agreement also underscores the reactionary character of the post-Stalinist oligarchy in Russia itself The 1990 agreement sealed the restoration of capitalism on the territory of the GDR The subsequent dissolution of the Soviet Union by the Stalinist bureaucracy ultimately created the precondition for the unbridled expansion of NATO to the borders of Russia The Putin regime is reacting to this with a reactionary mixture of servile appeals to the Western “partners” and extreme military threats the Kremlin responded to NATO’s plans to allow Kiev to attack Russia with long-range Western missiles by tightening its nuclear doctrine At a meeting of the Russian Security Council Putin warned that Russia reserved the right to “use nuclear weapons in the event of aggression against Russia and Belarus.” The new NATO headquarters and naval base in Rostock are inevitably potential targets for conventional or even tactical nuclear missile attacks in the event of a crisis or war Residents of Rostock and all of Germany and Europe should not remain under the illusion that the military build-up of the Rostock naval base will increase the security of the civilian population Rostock was almost completely destroyed once before because it was a strategic military target The Heinkel factories in Rostock and Rostock-Warnemünde produced military aircraft for the German Luftwaffe (Air Force) during the Second World War British and American aircraft dropped around 4,000 tonnes of bombs on Rostock and Warnemünde during a total of 16 major attacks 85 percent of Rostock’s residential and 42 percent of its commercial buildings were destroyed or damaged the population was halved between 1940 and the end of the war 617 people lost their lives in the air raids on Rostock including over 100 foreign workers and prisoners of war A total of over 60 million people worldwide died in the Second World War This war was ruthlessly prepared by the imperialist circles of Germany with the transfer of power to Hitler the illegal rearmament of the Reichswehr (Armed Forces) and the antisemitic and racist incitement against Jews and the peoples of Eastern Europe The crucial question today is to warn workers worldwide of the imminent danger of a third world war with even greater destructive potential and to mobilise them against it The plans of the capitalist governments to shed even more blood to pour billions more into the current wars to expand their war machines and to attack the living standards and social rights of workers in order to finance these crimes must be stopped This requires the building of an international socialist anti-war movement in the working class against the imperialist war and its root The Helsinki-Rostock subsea cable that connects Finland to Germany has been severed Authorities said an “external impact” likely caused the incident in the early hours of Monday The 750-mile (1,200km) cable has been damaged in the Baltic Sea and it appears to have been completely cut as all its fiber connections are down Update: A second cable, within 10m of this system was also cut Original story continues: The cable is owned and operated by Finnish networking firm Cinia Oy When asked whether the cable had been sabotaged deliberately said there was currently “no way to assess” the cause of the incident “We can say that such damage doesn’t happen without some kind of external impact,” he said in comments reported by Bloomberg Knaapila added that a ship's anchor or trawling on the ocean floor could have led to the cable being cut OMS Group Sdn’s cable-laying ship Cable Vigilance is being dispatched to the site from Calais to assess the incident and try to repair the damage a director at the National Cyber Security Centre of Finland told reporters that the incident had not impacted Finland’s Internet connectivity The country relies on several routes across Sweden The cable has been operational since 2016 It was laid to help businesses in central Europe connect to data centers based in Finland and other Nordic nations Last year, two cables in the Baltic Sea - connecting Finland and Sweden to Estonia - were damaged The Swedish government said a "partial" break of the cables had occurred Last week, a Russian spy ship known to surveil subsea cables was escorted from Irish waters Data Centre Dynamics Ltd (DCD), 32-38 Saffron Hill, London, EC1N 8FH Email.

the data center project are sparse The facility is described as potentially being "one of the largest data centers in Europe," and is also set to be powered by green electricity There is also the possibility that a transformer station will be built on-site for this purpose Waste heat from the data center will also be provided to the local area and is expected to cover the majority of households in the small town of Dummerstorf the investors and economic development agencies will make an official statement on the project at the end of the month Ostee-Zeitung reports that the data

requirement of several hundred megawatts," an insider told Ostee-Zeitung notes that the approval process is the biggest hurdle with the municipality already offering green energy in abundance for the project The potential for the project first emerged in January of 2024 when an investor purchased 70 hectares of land for €6.9 million ($7.21m) with plans to build a data center Recent reports suggest

The film tracks the history of the Electoral College and interrogates the extent to which the U.S electoral process was crafted to preserve the institution of slavery “I wanted to make a film that can empower Americans to have a thoughtful dialogue and debate around the electoral college and where it fits into our democracy.”  “Following Harry” was presented at the Enzian Theater on Tuesday September 16 and at Bush Auditorium on Saturday Filmmaker Susanne Rostock worked on the documentary over the course of 14 years capturing Harry Belafonte’s vision for America’s future and his continued mission of social justice “The film is about the last 10 years of Harry Belafonte’s life He was very involved in the civil rights movement and he gave tremendous financial and emotional support to the movement by bringing in other actors and artists.”  This advantage of providing a comprehensive overview does not come without challenges. After completing extensive research on an issue and interviewing experts, a documentarian should outline potential solutions, or at least provide audiences with the necessary framework to formulate solutions.   As Rostock said, “It’s one thing to demand change, but you have to have something in place to work toward. Try to activate people to make them want to find a solution.” Juson concurred, adding that documentary films about social issues should spark dialogue and inspire audiences to ask themselves, “What can I do next?”  From Juson and Rostock, I learned that well-researched and well-cast documentary films can be especially powerful in promoting critical thought. Beyond filmmaking, we can all act as change-makers by identifying issues that need to be further fleshed out and working to tackle the problems we observe in our daily lives.   The opinions on this page do not necessarily reflect those of The Sandspur or Rollins College.

The operator is responsible for local public transport in the entire district of Rostock, north of Berlin. The new delivery involves 47 solo and 5 articulated buses, awarded to Solaris back in 2023. Around 30 of them are currently in service and have covered over 150,000 km so far. The downtime of the vehicles is relatively short and mainly due to minor software faults in the vehicles, the operator states. The short-term goal of Rebus is to operate the refueling stations on a stable basis in regular service and to integrate all 52 fuel cell buses in regular service. No further vehicle purchases are planned until 2026. According to Thomas Nienkerk, managing director of rebus, the vehicles were delivered in full by calendar week 51, as promised by the manufacturer: “The vehicles are running smoothly. Minor repairs are sometimes carried out directly with the support of the manufacturer. Even at low temperatures, the buses have been able to run reliably in regular service so far,” he says. As part of the mobility transition, Rebus has decided to switch to hydrogen-powered vehicles. The changeover requires years of preparation and careful planning. “It pays to work with competent partners as part of the overall project,” says Rebus. © Copyright 2012 - 2025 | Vado e Torno Edizioni | All rights reserved | P.I. : 08514160152 Europe's aging population needs more health care professionals The University of Rostock is addressing this by helping skilled workers from Vietnam and India settle in Germany the popularity of far-right parties is a growing concern By 2025-02-25T05:00:00+00:00 GERMANY: The first of 29 Stadler Tina trams ordered by Rostocker Straßenbahn was officially unveiled on February 19 The three-section standard gauge tram is 32 m long with a capacity of 216 passengers The floor height is 290 mm in the entrance areas and 350 mm elsewhere and there are four twin-leaf and two single-leaf doors a cashless ticket machine and a collision warning system The Land of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern contributed €9·45m towards the €98·2m contract for 28 trams awarded in June 2022; one additional vehicle was subsequently added to the order Production is under way at Siedlce in Poland with the next two trams to be delivered by mid-2025 Entry into passenger service is planned by the end of the year and deliveries are to be completed by mid-2027 gradually replacing 6N1 vehicles dating from 1994-96 Dutch operator HTM has unveiled a mock-up of its next-generation trams from Stadler’s expanding modular TINA range GERMANY: The city of Rostock has selected a western alignment as its preferred option for a proposed tramway extension from Zoo to Reutershagen An eastern variant was also under consideration before the decision on November 15 INNOTRANS: Launch customer HEAG Mobilo of Darmstadt has unveiled the first TINA tram which Stadler has designed from scratch as its next generation of light rail vehicle Speaking at the unveiling at InnoTrans head of HEAG Mobilo Ann-Kristina Natus said buying a ..

Read our Privacy notice Clothed visitors to beaches in the German city of Rostock could face bans from nudist beaches The third largest city on the German Baltic coast is home to 15km of white sand beach The new ruling follows local authorities who have “received numerous complaints from people who felt harassed in the naturist (or nudist) areas,” Rostock Tourism’s Moritz Naumann told The Independent By defining these areas as exclusively for textile-free sunbathing and swimming, the beach warden now has the ability to issue bans in case of conflict, he said. Mr Naumann said that the ban is only to be used in “case of conflict” He added: “It should be noted that not every situation where someone wears clothes in this area directly leads to a conflict The main focus is to protect those who genuinely feel disturbed.” Offensive comments, staring or the taking of photographs or video are all broadly regarded as inappropriate etiquette in nudist spaces. Mr Naumann added that Rostock city authorities have observed that “the number of people practicing it today is decreasing we have reduced the number of naturist beaches from 37 to 27 blocks with the new regulation.” He added: “It is important to us that every guest at our beach feels comfortable and we hope that the new regulation will meet the needs of our visitors “Naturism has a long tradition in Rostock and is appreciated by many locals as well as guests.” known as “Freikörperkultur” (FKK) or “free body culture,” has traditionally been popular throughout Germany enthusiasm for the practice appears to have fallen out of style with younger generations In addition to beaches, the movement – which dates back to the 19th-century – has seen nudism extended to parks and even hiking trails across the country the German Association for Free Body Culture (DFK) – an umbrella organisation for several naturist interest groups – told its members that anniversary celebrations would be cancelled due to a lack of interest Group membership has fallen from 65,000 people 25 years ago to fewer than 34,000 in 2024 In 2023, city officials in Berlin ruled that all swimmers would be permitted to swim topless following an equality row. The ruling came after a woman took legal action in response to being ejected from an open-air pool in the German capital for sunbathing topless. As a consequence of the complaint, the Berliner Bäderbetriebe, which runs the city's public pools, changed its clothing rules accordingly, saying that the ruling established “equal rights for all Berliners, whether male, female or non-binary”.

In support of this, the ferry company has signed an MoU with Caterpillar Motoren to explore the possibilities of converting the current MaK diesel of the Rostock-Gedser hybrid ferries to run on e-methanol. The use of e-methanol produced from renewable energy sources can reduce CO2 emissions by 95% under ideal circumstances. Scandlines already combines three technologies on the Rostock-Gedser route: traditional diesel operation, battery operation and wind power. However, the goal of emission-free ferry operations on the Rostock-Gedser route requires Scandlines to use additional technology. The plan is that Caterpillar Motoren will provide a test engine in its workshop 2025. If Scandlines concludes that the test engine meets the expectations and fulfils the conditions, there is a possibility that the first Scandlines diesel engine will be converted in 2027.

The funds will be provided for the construction of a 300-MW electrolyser to generate green hydrogen in Lingen (Lower Saxony) as part of the GET H2 Nukleus project as well as a hydrogen facility in Gronau-Epe (North Rhine-Westphalia). A third strand of funding has been granted to a consortium developing a 100-MW electrolyser plant at the port of Rostock (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania) as part of the HyTechHafen Rostock project. RWE is a member of this consortium. The federal government is providing 70% of the total funding for each of the projects. The states of Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania are contributing 30% to the venture on their respective territories. RWE is planning to invest a medium three-digit million-euro amount in the three projects. The EU Commission recognised the projects as Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEI) in February, together with other hydrogen schemes. This made it possible for national bodies to grant funding. Germany’s Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action and representatives from the federal states presented the funding notifications in Berlin on Monday. The Lingen site plays a key part in RWE’s hydrogen strategy. There, the company wants to install hydrogen generating capacities of 300 megawatts in 100-megawatt increments by 2027 as part of the GET H2 Nukleus project. The first 100-MW electrolyser is to be commissioned in 2025. Green hydrogen produced in Lingen will help industrial companies to significantly reduce their carbon emissions. Transport and storage infrastructure will play a crucial role in the ramp-up of the hydrogen economy. Two caverns will be used for storing hydrogen in RWE Gas Storage West’s planned facility in Gronau-Epe. The storage plant is aimed at balancing out the fluctuations in hydrogen generation using wind and solar energy. In this way hydrogen can be supplied to industrial customers as required by the companies. The first hydrogen is to be stored at the facility in 2026. A 100-MW electrolyser will be constructed at Rostock port as part of the HyTechHafen Rostock project and will produce green hydrogen from 2027. Some of the hydrogen is intended to supply local consumers, the rest to be fed into the Germany-wide hydrogen core grid that is currently being developed. The operating company is a joint venture of ROSTOCK PORT GmbH, RheinEnergie AG, EnBW Neue Energien AG, and RWE Generation SE.
