Michael Montag is leaving big shoes to fill - the new chairman of the Murnau Fire Brigade Association is Hans Jais. In this key role he succeeds Michael Montag, who held the office for more than 20 years.

As a farewell, treasurer Astrid Dodel presented Montag with a sculpture of Saint Florian. The patron of the fire department stood up for Monday's term as a “martyr’ until the end of the term of the office. In the end, she is gone now, but is just taking a few steps back, emphasized the treasurer.
