CUXHAVEN. The Ports and Shipping Working Group of the CDU parliamentary group in the Lower Saxony state parliament visited the Cuxhaven site in late August. Representatives of the Cuxhaven Port Association (HWG) showed them how much the city has changed in recent years. They also visited the Siemens Gamesa plant, symbolic for the rise and structural change of the city. Cuxhaven’s mayor Uwe Santjer emphasised the importance of the port areas, and Siemens Gamesa plant manager Christian Ettl stated: “For us, this port link is indispensable.”
