Oberasbach's Mayor Birgit Huber to Retire with a Community Bike Tour

Birgit Huber, the long-serving mayor of Oberasbach, will step down from her role in 2026. To mark her retirement, a special farewell event has been planned—a guided bicycle tour through the town on April 24. Residents and well-wishers are invited to join the ride, which will cover key locations tied to her time in office.

The tour begins at the town hall fountain, where participants will gather before setting off. The 11-kilometre route includes six stops, each chosen for its personal significance to Huber. Rather than formal speeches, the event will focus on her memories and stories from her years as mayor.

After roughly two hours of cycling, the group will finish at Kleinlein Farm. Here, attendees can relax and share their own reflections on Huber's contributions to the community. Those wishing to take part must register with cycling officer Sina Mixdorf by April 20. However, spontaneous participants are also welcome to join on the day. Organisers note that heavy rain could force a last-minute cancellation.

The bicycle tour offers a chance for the town to celebrate Huber's leadership in an informal setting. With a route spanning 11 kilometres and six meaningful stops, the event highlights her connection to Oberasbach. Final details, including weather updates, will be shared closer to the date.
