Restructured Senior Advisory Body Introduces New Panel Members

In the heart of Germany, the city of Neuwied is making strides in promoting the participation and quality of life of its older citizens. The Neuwied Senior Council, a dedicated body advocating for independent living in old age, has undergone a change in leadership.

Mayor Peter Jung, who has been leading the Senior Council on an interim basis, has praised the commitment of the old board. He expresses optimism for the future under the new leadership, led by Brigitte Neumann as the new chairwoman.

The new board, which also includes Hans Joachim Heckmann as the new deputy, Rüdiger Olschewski as the new secretary, Edmund Röttgen, and Renate Hoffmann, is expected to continue the path of constructive commitment and bring new ideas to the Senior Council's work.

One of the Council's most significant projects is the citizen bus, a service offering free transportation to mobility-impaired individuals within the city. Operating on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the bus provides service from 9 am to 12 pm and 3 pm to 6 pm for doctor's appointments, shopping, or administrative visits.

The Senior Council's work is invaluable for the city of Neuwied, as it continues to commit to the interests of the older generation. Alongside the citizen bus, the Council has successfully implemented projects such as readings with the city library, senior podcast, generation cinema, and various information events and visits.

The new citizen bus is a central project in promoting the mobility and quality of life of older citizens in Neuwied. The Council's commitment to this cause is underscored by its dedication to promoting independent participation in old age.

Mayor Peter Jung has expressed his belief that the new board will carry on this commitment, ensuring that the city of Neuwied remains a place where older citizens can live independently and with dignity.
