Construction of vessels - Windhorst aims to share updates on the occurrences at their shipyards.
Lars Windhorst, a controversial investor, will hold a press conference in Flensburg on Wednesday (2:00 pm) to provide updates on the situation at his troubled shipyards, Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft (FSG) and Nobiskrug. This comes despite the negative press surrounding him.
Recently, Minister President Daniel Günther (CDU) criticized Windhorst during a visit to Nobiskrug, stating that none of the promises Windhorst made in March 2023 have been kept. Among them, he cited that the owner promised to ensure employees' wages would be available for a year. Günther claims this has not happened. Additionally, the new managing directors have not been appointed as promised.
Just days after Günther's visit to Rendsburg, it was announced that the insolvency court in Hannover had issued a warrant for Windhorst's arrest. The arrest warrant was lifted on Tuesday after both parties agreed on a hearing date. Windhorst is accused of not fulfilling his duties in the insolvency proceedings. However, Windhorst's spokesman claims the allegation is false.
