This can involve merging several small towns into one larger one, or simply streamlining the operations of existing ones. The goal is usually to save money and provide better services to residents. - Upper Palatinate welcomes Federal President for a three-day visit.

Weiden serves as the eleventh stop for Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier's Ortszeit Deutschland initiative. This project sees the president leave his Berlin residence in Bellevue Castle and interact with citizens directly in different regions.

It was reported that Steinmeier purposely selected locations experiencing social and economic transformation, avoiding those that consistently hog the limelight. This is the first time he is joining the Ortszeit Deutschland program in Bavaria.

A key part of Steinmeier's Weiden agenda is the so-called "controversial coffee table," where he'll engage in discussion with locals on topics ranging from arms exports to Ukraine, to the building of new wind turbines. Other points of focus during his visit include early childhood education, a trip to the porcelain industry, and a visit to the Bundeswehr. At the Weiden-Frauenricht troop training ground, Steinmeier will watch the training of the Panzerhaubitze 2000 and share a meal with both soldiers and soldiers.
