To the job offers

We have made THÜRINGENS SÜDEN^® our home

The Albrecht family has returned home from Munich to Steinbach-Hallenberg. Here, they can live just as they wish and fulfil their dreams.
To Tina and Steven’s story

Tina Hollandt-Albrecht will open her own veterinary practice

in the Steinbach-Hallenberg industrial estate in summer 2023. She has purchased the land from the municipality, and the building shell with 400 square metres of space for the practice is already standing.

Combining profession and hobby,

Steven was able to return home through his job at the industrial enterprise MZA in Meiningen. The passionate enduro rider works in quality assurance there.

Tina and Steven

are both from Steinbach-Hallenberg. They lived together in Munich for some time, but it quickly became clear to them: a house of their own with a garden or an own practice are unaffordable there. Back home, both are within reach.

Time for the family

is important to Tina and Steven. Their son, who was born in 2022, should grow up near his grandparents and with a connection to nature. This was also an important reason for them to return to THÜRINGENS SÜDEN^®.
