Manuela Killinger was the right-hand woman of the mayor of Hohenpeißenberg for almost 25 years and has experienced and seen a lot during this time.
On Wednesday she had her last day at work and was ceremoniously farewelled by her colleagues.
Hohenpeißenberg
- When Manuela Killinger started working as a secretary in the town hall on November 8, 1999, Karl Graf was still mayor of Hohenpeißenberg.
For around ten years she looked after his anteroom, was his right hand and his secretary - until Thomas Dorsch won the election in Hohenpeißenberg in March 2008 and became the new mayor.
By the way: Everything from the region is also available in our regular Schongau newsletter.
And in our Weilheim-Penzberg newsletter.
Dorsch had already worked in administration, so he and Killinger were already familiar colleagues when she became his secretary.
“When Thomas became mayor, I immediately threw my arms around him,” remembers the outgoing city hall employee on her last day at work, when she celebrated her walkout with around 20 colleagues in the city hall.
In a “close partnership” for almost 15 years
“Today is now your last official day here.
We have been in a close partnership for almost 15 years,” said Dorsch at the ceremony.
They have both experienced a lot together and learned from each other in the past few years, both professionally and privately.
“There were good times and bad times, we shared the sun and the shadows,” said the mayor and thanked them for their time.
Killinger was always a reliable colleague and an important contact.
All news and stories can also be found on the Schongauer Nachrichten Facebook page.
In the 25 years that Killinger served the Hohenpeißenberg community, she experienced a lot.
“You could definitely write a book,” Dorsch said.
To thank Killinger for her time in the town hall, she was given vouchers and a bouquet of flowers, which this time she did not provide.

“You often had to buy flowers for other people,” said Dorsch.
He wished his outgoing secretary all the best, and if the nostalgia for the town hall became too great, she should think about the times when she had to be angry.
Poem with anecdotes and experiences
The second mayor, Gerlinde Rasch, also thanked Killinger for her long time with the community: “Anyone who wanted to see the mayor had to pass you.” The outgoing employee had to deal with many, many people, with a wide variety of people Concerns were raised with the community and the mayor.
“It was often a challenge to find the right words,” said Rasch.
Barbara Igl recited a poem for her colleagues in which she discussed anecdotes and experiences from the past 25 years.
Afterwards, a visibly touched Manuela Killinger thanked all her colleagues.
