Turnaround in Eutin: Tourism boss Michael Keller goes to Eckernförde!
Eutin's tourism boss, Michael Keller, will leave the city on June 30, 2026. At his own request, he is moving to Eckernförde, where he will take over the management of Eckernförde Touristik & Marketing GmbH. Keller sees the change as a valuable opportunity for personal and professional development. This reports NDR.
Keller led Eutin at a time when the regional tourism industry was facing significant pressure. In particular, it concerns Eutin Tourismus GmbH, which is now looking for a successor for the vacant position. There are already plans in place to save the festival affected by the cancellation. In this context, a summer concert is being organized to serve as a replacement for the opera season that is not taking place.
Succession and festival future
The search for Keller's successor is being actively pursued. Eutin Tourismus GmbH will soon publish a job advertisement for the position of Head of Tourism. It is also being examined whether a new festival company can be linked to Eutin Tourismus GmbH in order to strengthen and further develop the cultural offerings in the city. This shows how important the position is for Eutin's tourist infrastructure.
In the coming months, Eutin Tourismus GmbH will not only be working on finding a new managing director, but will also be actively working on setting the course for the city's sustainable and successful cultural development. Michael Keller's move is seen as a pivotal moment in which the city must address both challenges and opportunities.
