Mourning over the demise of Brigitte Gans
Brigitte Gans, a renowned politico in Aschaffenburg, passed away on August 5th, 2023. Known for her sound judgment, independent politics, and steadying influence, Gans served the city council for an impressive 34 years. Gans began her political journey in 1984, joining the CSU, and quickly became an active member of the community. In 1985, she joined the Women's Union and worked in the local branch in Aschaffenburg-Nilkheim. Her dedication to community service was evident from the start. In 1989, Gans was sworn in as the successor of the late Dr. Werner Bokr, marking the beginning of her tenure on the city council. Over the years, she served in various committees, including the adult education committee and the supervisory board of the city building authority. Gans' political career was not limited to the city council. She served as a lay judge at the Aschaffenburg local court and the administrative court in Würzburg for 18 years. Her service in the judiciary, coupled with her time on the city council, made her a woman of great expertise, respected across party lines and within the administration. Mayor Jürgen Herzing described Gans as a city council member who possessed great expertise and enjoyed high esteem. He remembered her as a woman of independent and open politics, always striving for the best interests of the city and its citizens. One of Gans' notable achievements was her work with people with intellectual and physical disabilities, which she began in 1985. From 1985, she dedicated herself to this cause, often acting as a mediator between citizens and the administration to ensure the needs of these individuals were met. In 2018, Gans was awarded the Bavarian Minister-President's honorary badge for her voluntary work. This recognition underscored her commitment to service and her positive impact on the community. Gans was also deeply involved in the St. Jakobus parish in Nilkheim, serving as a church warden. In addition, she was the chairwoman of the Eduard-Aigner foundation in youth and children's work. Despite her many responsibilities, Gans remained a housewife and mother of two daughters. Her ability to balance family life with her political career was a testament to her dedication and commitment. In the city council, Gans opposed the 'gender-specific allocation of tasks,' advocating for equal opportunities for all. Her legacy will continue to inspire future generations of politicians in Aschaffenburg. Gans will be deeply missed by her fellow city council members, the administration, and the citizens of Aschaffenburg. Her passing marks the end of an era in the city's politics, but her influence and impact will live on.
