Volunteers honored in Obertshausen for their dedication
In the picturesque town of Obertshausen, a series of honours and recognitions were bestowed upon its dedicated citizens at this year's Ehrenabend event. The evening, which celebrates the town's most distinguished individuals, was marked by a sense of pride and unity.
One of the highlights of the event was the presentation of the Obertshausen Medal, the town's highest award, according to its statutes. However, the search results did not provide information on who received this prestigious honour.
Among those who were recognised for their long-standing commitments were Tobias Koch and Jürgen Krapp. Tobias Koch, a member of the Greens since 1996, served in the city council from 1997. His dedication to the town was honoured with a certificate of honour for his volunteer work.
Jürgen Krapp, on the other hand, had a twelve-year political career in the municipality. Currently, he serves as a city councillor and deputy chairman of the FDP faction. His contributions were recognised with an honorary councilor position since 2016. Additionally, he is the chairman of the Wine Friends of Obertshausen and co-organizes the Obertshausen Wine Festival.
Another notable recipient was Hildegard Knorr, who was a member of the city council from 1993 to 2006. During her tenure, she chaired various committees and was awarded the Obertshausen Medal for her exceptional service.
Cornelia Wicht-Gerhardt, a member of the Greens since 1998, was elected to the city council in 2006. Since then, she has been active in numerous other areas. In 2016, she was appointed to the magistrate and also became a member of the honorary councilors. Her dedication was rewarded with the merit medal in silver.
Lastly, Christel Wenzel-Saggel entered the city council directly with her first candidacy for the Greens in 2011. Information about any specific awards or recognitions for Christel Wenzel-Saggel was not available.
Each of these individuals has made significant contributions to the town of Obertshausen, and their recognitions serve as a testament to the spirit of community service that thrives in the town. The Ehrenabend event was a fitting celebration of these achievements, fostering a sense of pride and unity among the town's residents.
