Landsberg mourns: CAP market closes after 18 years!

The CAP market in downtown Landsberg, operated by Regens Wagner Holzhausen, will close after 18 years at the end of August. This decision comes into force on August 31, 2025 and is the result of economic difficulties, in particular increased operating costs that heavily burden the market. Regens Wagner announced that despite intensive efforts, business could not be managed economically, which is why the closure has become necessary, such as the Augsburger General reported.

The CAP market was opened in 2007 and can look back on a long history of engagement for the integration of people with mental impairment. Nine employees with disabilities are currently working on the market and are now to be integrated into other facilities of Regens Wagner Holzhausen, such as the Merkur . The location in Penzing and the farm shop in Holzhausen remain open to secure the employment opportunities.

consequences of closure

eleven employees in full and part-time will also receive new job offers from Regens Wagner Holzhausen. The overall management of Regens Wagner, Matthias Albrecht, expresses his regret about the decision and expresses gratitude to the customers who have attended the market over the years. This closure not only affects employees, but also on the local community.

The mayor of Landsberg, Doris Baumgartl, said that the closure of the CAP market would leave a large gap in the footpath of the city center and the adjacent residential areas, especially for the older population. It emphasizes the importance of the market for the residents and is concerned about the effects on the local supply of the city.

Search for solutions

The city of Landsberg was informed about the upcoming closure at short notice and has already started looking for solutions to secure the local supply offer at the location. In the conversations with the owners of the building, an attempt is made to cushion the consequences of closure and at least create alternative care options. The deficits of the CAP market already had a negative impact on further offers from the Magnus workshops that take care of the integration of people with disabilities.
