Why the city of Schongau doesn't name its Ring of Honor holders. The city administration does not disclose the names of all the people honored so far and refers to data protection.
Even if the honor has been awarded once, that doesn't mean that the names can be released later was the argument. The only possible legal basis is that every Ring of honor bearer agrees that his name may be published by the city. Although the press can also inquire about age or marriage anniversaries in the population register, i.e. 90th birthdays.
