Food industry's uncertain fate: PTSV facing imminent challenges
In the heart of Preetz, the Preetzer Turn- und Sportclub, a well-known establishment for German cuisine, events, and celebrations for sports departments, clubs, and private individuals, faces an uncertain future. The lease for the club's premises at Jahnplatz is set to expire at the end of the month, and the current operators, Gerhard van Heck and his wife Andrea, have decided not to renew.
Gerhard van Heck, who has been running the sports club since 2011, has built a good reputation over the past 14 years, attracting a loyal customer base. Six to eight long-standing members of the PTSV-Sparclub meet every week for their regular table, and the Preetzer Tafel, Landfrauenverein, Oldtimer Freunde, and PTSV-Sparclub, among others, have been regulars at the Preetzer Turn- und Sportclub.
Axel Schreiner, a board member of the PTSV, has mentioned that all previous interested parties for the inn have dropped out. However, there is currently one candidate with vague interest in taking over the sports club in its current form, but significant investments are required to obtain a new concession.
The PTSV board is considering using the third hall for health sports offers, as this area is currently booming. They also plan to develop a concrete concept during the summer break. The board does not see it as their main task to maintain premises for outsiders, but they want to find a solution to allow internal club groups to continue meeting at Jahnplatz.
The loss of the Preetzer Turn- und Sportclub as an event location in Preetz is a blow to the community. Walter Kohrt, a long-standing member of the PTSV-Sparclub, believes the kitchen at the Preetzer Turn- und Sportclub needs renovation, which would cost money.
As the lease comes to an end, the Preetzer Turn- und Sportclub's future at Jahnplatz remains uncertain. The club and its members are encouraged to engage with local authorities, community groups, and potential investors to secure a future for this beloved institution in Preetz. For the most current information, it is recommended to contact the Preetzer Turn- und Sportclub directly or check local news outlets and community newsletters for updates.
