Discussion in Berlin on the House of Minorities in Flensburg
26.05.2015On the invitation of the German Federal Government Commissioner for Matters Related to Ethnic German Resettlers and National Minorities, Hartmut Koschyk MP, the two MPs Bettina Hagedorn and Dr Sabine Sütterlin-Waack, Mayor of Flensburg Simon Faber and his staff member Eico Wenzel, the President of the Federal Union of European Nationalities (FUEN) Hans Heinrich Hansen and Vice President Paul Dieter Küssner, Jon Hardon Hansen and Jens A. Christiansen from Sydslesvigsk Forening (SSF) as representatives of the Danish minority in Germany and also representatives of the German Federal Government and the government of the Land of Schleswig-Holstein had a meeting in the premises of the German Federal Ministry of the Interior in Berlin to speak about the swift realisation of a European “House of Minorities” in Flensburg.
A crucial precondition for the realisation is the renovation of the historical warehouse in Flensburg, which is the property of the organisation of the Danish minority, Sydslesvigsk Forening (SSF), and under whose roof also the European “House of Minorities” shall find its place.
