Millionenschwere Sanierung des Klosterareals: Michael Schlitt hinterlässt bleibenden Eindruck in Ostritz
Michael Schlitt, the head of the International Meeting Center Kloster Marienthal (IBZ), has made a significant impact on the Ostritz community through his leadership and transformative projects. Under his guidance, the Klosterareal (monastery grounds) has undergone a multimillion-dollar renovation, becoming an energy-ecological model city and a hub for peaceful celebrations.
“Michael Schlitt has been instrumental in revitalizing the Klosterareal through his visionary approach and dedication to sustainable practices. The buildings within the monastery grounds, many of which were leased by the IBZ, have been restored to their former glory, creating a vibrant and welcoming space for the community.”
A Journey of Purpose and Change
Michael Schlitt’s journey to Ostritz showcases his passion for community development and bridging boundaries. Originally from Montabaur in Rhineland-Palatinate, he gained recognition through his work as a foundation manager, earning his own Wikipedia page.
With an academic background in political science, Catholic theology, and philosophy from Mainz, Schlitt’s career as an educator and lecturer focused on topics such as economics, ethics, and the environment. However, in the mid-1990s, he embarked on a new chapter by relocating to St. Marienthal, a town situated directly on the German-Polish border.
“Schlitt’s move to the eastern region represented not only a change but also a transformative opportunity. It marked a significant shift in his career and a commitment to fostering cross-cultural understanding and collaboration.”
Leaving a Lasting Legacy
As Schlitt steps down from his role as the head of the IBZ, his impact on Ostritz will continue to be felt. The multimillion-dollar renovation of the Klosterareal stands as a testament to his visionary leadership and dedication to making a positive difference.
Under Schlitt’s guidance, the IBZ transformed the monastery grounds into an energy-efficient and environmentally conscious model city. This revitalization project not only preserved the historic heritage of the area but also created a platform for the community to come together and celebrate peace.
“Michael Schlitt’s tenure at the IBZ has left an indelible mark on Ostritz. His commitment to sustainability, cultural exchange, and community development has truly transformed the Klosterareal into a thriving hub of positivity and collaboration.”
As Michael Schlitt moves on to new endeavors, his contributions to Ostritz will be remembered as an inspiration for future generations, reminding us of the power of vision, determination, and compassion in making a lasting impact.
