Tourism at Maritimo: Dispute over a new hotel in Oer-Erkenschwick!

In Oer-Erkenschwick, a plan is currently being discussed that provides for the creation of a hotel on Maritimo. This initiative aims to expand the overnight accommodation in the region, which has so far been frequented by many tourists from North Rhine-Westphalia. The city administration endeavors to find solutions after the first proposals were rejected by two investors. This has led to a lively discussion on Facebook, in which numerous citizens, sometimes skeptical, question the need for such a hotel.

In particular, the tourist interests of the region are critically highlighted. Councilor Sebastian Schroer emphasizes that the focus is on the Maritimo and the nearby local recreation area Haard. In the past, this area has established itself as a popular destination for hikers and those seeking relaxation, which strengthens the argument for a hotel. Mayor Carsten Wewers clearly speaks for the project and sees added value in the intended accommodation.

discussions and concerns

The Facebook discussions are shaped by mixed reactions. While some users recognize the opportunities that a hotel can bring with them, other concerns about the tourist interest and the need for another hotel in Oer-Erkenschwick.

A positive signal comes from the many visitors who already appreciate the Haard as a leisure destination. This indicates that the potential for tourist development is at least theoretical. The proximity to the hiking trails is highlighted as a decisive advantage and could address a wider target group.
