Krailling says goodbye to Wiltrud Wessel. Former Federal Minister of Justice Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger was among the mourners.

For her great achievements, Wessel has been awarded the European Medal (2001), the Bavarian Order of Merit (2006) and, in 2014, the highest award of the Republic of Poland “Noble Deed” over the years. The urn of the deceased, which stood between candles during the event, will now be on its way to South Africa.
