Hausham – The community of Hausham once again invited people to the New Year’s reception.
Various honors were given.
The no to the initial reception center was also a big topic.
Around 200 guests accepted the community's invitation to the New Year's reception in the town hall.
In addition to thanking the volunteers, Mayor Jens Zangenfeind took the opportunity to assure the district community of the community's solidarity, but to please accept the no to the initial reception center as a democratic decision.
Following good custom, the New Year's reception opened with a serenade from the Crachia Hausham fanfare and a blessing from Dean Michael Mannhardt and Pastor Anika Sergel-Kohls.
It was only at the end of his New Year's speech that Zangenfeind took another stand on the clear rejection of an initial reception facility in the former vaccination center.
“The municipality of Hausham will always remain an honest, sincere and solidarity-based partner of the district community,” said the town hall boss and addressed the critics of the decision: “But a 'no' must be possible in a democracy without being pilloried for it become."
In this context, Zangenfeind noted that Hausham, as one of the smaller communities in the district, excluding Ukraine refugees, has the most asylum seekers after Miesbach and Tegernsee.
Reminder of community involvement
“The Hausham community has always been committed to other and less privileged groups and tried to find solutions.
“I’m thinking about looking for a place for our special school and I’m happy that the Anton-Weilmaier School has its home in Hausham,” recalled Zangenfeind.
They were also happy to help across districts to find and provide space in the municipality for the hospital, the new Bambi House of Lebenshilfe and the vaccination center.
“Solidarity is lived in Hausham.
That’s why we ask that we respect the fact that we sometimes say ‘no’ if we don’t think a decision is right.”
Zangenfeind particularly thanks young Hausham residents
One might ask whether, given the current great challenges and wars around the world, the future can still be designed sensibly, but, said Zangenfeind, that would be the wrong approach: “Of course we have to do it.
Shaping the future and supporting our youth must be the basis of our actions, and we can only achieve this goal together.” Because the past few years have been “anything but easy for young people in particular and the current situation is very stressful,” Zangenfeind addressed another Special thanks to the young people from Hausham: “It’s great how you are still committed and stand up for all of us.”
Although it is also a social task to show perspectives and to move into the future with confidence, optimism and self-confidence, Zangenfeind also sees a challenge to major politics here.
He described it as a government task to take away people's worries and fears and thus also to undermine the right-wing parties: "It must not continue to govern over people's heads in many areas." That's why he also sympathizes with the protest Farmers' Association: "I think it's good that our farmers, whose work ensures sustainability, healthy nutrition, regional food and animal welfare, have sent a peaceful demonstration."
Honors from the community of Hausham
In addition to awarding three badges of honor from the municipality of Hausham and individual honors, Zangenfeind thanked the municipality employees and the district office for their good cooperation, the many volunteers as well as the full-time and voluntary blue light organizations as well as the around 80 local associations for their extraordinary commitment and the municipal council for cross-party, open, honest and fair cooperation.
