New face in Höxter: Julia Gogrewe will head the building authority in the future!
Julia Gogre will be the new building director of the city of Höxter. The city's main and finance committee approved on January 27, 2025. She succeeds Claudia Koch, who moved to the city of Bielefeld on January 1, 2025. Gogrewe, 51 years old, was born and grew up in Höxter.
After her Abitur at the König-Wilhelm Gymnasium, she completed an apprenticeship as a draftsman. Then she studied architecture in Detmold and urban development in Kassel. Her professional stations include activities as an employed architect in the free economy, as well as nine years as the building director of the city of Radevormwald. After that, she was head of the city service planning, mobility and monument preservation of the city of Solingen for four and a half years and since 2021 building and environmental department at the district of Northeim.
professional career and return to Höxter
at the end of 2020 Gogre returned to Höxter for private reasons. She lives centrally in the core city with her husband. From May 1, 2025, she will work in Höxter and Northeim each with half of her working hours before working completely in Höxter from September 1st. This transitional arrangement was made in coordination with the district administrator of the district of Northeim.
At the same time, Michael Schünemann, district administrator of the Holzminden district, announced a successful tourism balance for 2023. Tourism in Weserbergland has a clear increase, with 817,280 arrivals, which corresponds to an increase of 9.2 % compared to the previous year. The overnight stays rose to 2,609,489, an increase of 12.7 % compared to 2022.tourism and challenges
The average length of stay is 3.2 days. However, the period from January to September 2024 shows a decline in overnight stays by 1.5 % compared to the previous year. In addition to these positive developments, however, the tourism sector faces challenges, including sustainability, shortage of skilled workers, competition and technological developments.
Petra Wegener, Managing Director of Weserbergland Tourismus, said that measures are necessary to improve competitiveness. With a variety of campaigns, including a visit to the trade fair in Stuttgart, Hanover and Cologne, tourist attention and the flow of visitors should continue to be increased. The Weser cycle path in particular is considered the figurehead of the region and records an immense added value of 12.4 million euros.
As part of a strategic direction, the Weserbergland path was once again certified as a "quality path to hiking Germany" and took fourth place in the hiking magazine in the vote on Germany's most beautiful hiking trail.
The current winter campaign, "Weserbergland Winterzauber", is advertised with print flyers, online measures and an advent calendar. Guest lectures, such as that of Franziska Albers about artificial intelligence in the tourism sector, address both opportunities and challenges of digitization.
In summary, it can be said that both the new occupation in the city of Höxter and the development in the tourism sector are of great importance for the region. The combination of these topics could offer both local and tourist impulses in the future.For further details on the appointment of Julia Gogre, read Hoexter.de Westfalen-blatt.de href = "https://www.dewezet.de/lokales/holzminden-lk/holzstigiger-zweitigentige-wachstum-bei-uebernachungen-tourism-tourism-bilanz-hrz-hrzqoblfrbftrjwea2vfjkverq.html"> dewezet.de .
