Prignitz District

The Prignitz district with around 80,000 inhabitants and the principal town Perleberg features a multifaceted business structure. High-performance companies of national and international significance have already invested here. The district’s optimal infrastructure is a solid foundation for economic development. It includes an integrated network of national roads and two autobahns: the A24 and the A14 that is currently being developed. Additionally, a good rail network provides multiple options for the efficient handling of cargo and rail freight. Furthermore, ElbePort Wittenberge GmbH, the company that operates the inland port on the River Elbe, is a reliable partner for transhipment between the rail, the autobahn and the waterways.

The Wittenberge inland terminal on the River Elbe services the port of Hamburg; its excellent transport connections make it a logistics hub for combined commercial transport. Companies that operate facilities in the district, such as Meyer & Meyer Logistik and IOI Oleo GmbH Wittenberge, show a keen interest in the inland port. Moreover, the future A14 autobahn is to make Wittenberge an optimal trimodal distribution location (rail, autobahn and waterway).

The Prignitz industrial park located in Falkenhagen, close to the Wittstock/Dosse autobahn interchange, provides a transport link-up with the German Baltic Sea ports. It is just one of the eleven fully serviced industrial parks that are available in the Prignitz district for companies who intend to expand or settle there.

“Things really get done in the Prignitz district! We were welcomed with open arms and we notice that people really want to get things done here.”
