Network meeting “Masters of Protection and Safety” at BGZ Unterweser

On September 25 and 26, 2025, this year's “Masters of Protection and Safety” network meeting took place at a special location: the interim storage facility of BGZ Gesellschaft für Zwischenlagerung mbH at the Unterweser site (Wesermarsch).

About the network meeting

The format has been organized by Dienstplanmacher GmbH for many years and is aimed at protection and security specialists from all over Germany. In cooperation with various partners, the meeting offers exciting insights into different security-related areas every year. This year, BGZ was the host and gave participants an exclusive look behind the scenes of its facility.

Since 2019, the federally owned BGZ has been responsible for storing radioactive waste at the sites of decommissioned nuclear power plants until it is transferred to a final repository. In addition to radiation protection and maintenance, Plant Security plays a particularly important role in this process.

Professional exchange and practical insights

Around 40 participants took advantage of the opportunity to exchange ideas on current developments in the field of security organization in specialist presentations and personal discussions. In addition to various discussion rounds, the event also offered an exclusive insight into the operation of the Unterweser interim storage facility. Speakers included:

Christian Otter, Site Manager BGZ Unterweser and Stade
Torsten Remmers, Area Manager Pond Security
Jens Abker, Head of Operational HR Management, BGZ
Oliver Lauch, Team Lead HR Marketing and Recruiting BGZ

They provided practical insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with protecting sensitive facilities—from personnel recruitment to day-to-day operational security.

Organization and cooperation

The event was jointly organized by Christian Otter and Jonas Wingert (BGZ), Torsten Remmers (Pond Security), Uli Pflanz (network organization) as well as Simon Schneider and the team at Dienstplanmacher GmbH.

Special thanks go to Jonas Wingertwho, together with Christian Otter played a key role in making the network meeting at the Unterweser site possible. Both of them worked hard from an early stage to establish the event as worthy of support and to make it possible on the part of the BGZ.
