- Schemmern, Burghofen, Harmuthsachsen and Bischhausen are fully connected; construction began in Schemmern in 2024 after Goetel reportedly ended its relationship with its previous general contractor.
- Work on household connections in the city center was halted, according to Mayor Niklas Gries, while Goetel completed the rollout in Wehrfeld.
- Goetel had pledged coverage for Friemen, Mäckelsdorf, Hetzerode, Gehau, Eltmannsee, Stolzhausen, Rechtebach, Kirchhosbach, Rodebach and Hasselbach, but no rollout followed; the administration does not know why and suspects insufficient economic viability.
- Some users’ connections still do not function properly, Gries says, and there is currently no information on further expansion; the city plans to contact Goetel and other providers again.
However, we will once again try to contact all firms involved in the fiber-optic construction – particularly Goetel – in order to initiate a market-driven expansion— Said by Mayor Niklas Gries (CDU); he vows to reach out to the fiber-build companies to push a market-driven expansion
