Eisenhüttenstadt, a town in Brandenburg, Germany, is launching a unique initiative to combat depopulation by offering two weeks of free accommodation to potential new residents. This initiative targets skilled workers, former residents, and self-employed individuals seeking a change. Selected applicants will experience the town through guided tours, local job prospects, and internships, culminating in a reflective 'love letter' about their experiences. The town's population has dwindled significantly post-reunification due to job losses and migration, highlighting the need for such innovative strategies to boost residency and economic vitality.
