A Nordkurier veteran says goodbye: After 43 years on the front line, our chief reporter from Pasewalk, Rainer Marten, puts down his pen and camera and starts a new (restless) chapter in his life. In today's local section he reviews his time at the Nordkurier and says - even if it is visibly difficult for him: "I'm letting go." And he says, "Thank you!" To his readers, his countless interlocutors, but also his colleagues for "a wonderful time, which, despite many a debate, was characterised by mutual respect, esteem, good human cooperation and much more". We are happy to say the same about him. All the best, dear Rainer, for your next journey with a new destination!
