Some did not run, others were voted out: But on Thursday evening all outgoing Pöckingen councilors were adopted in a very warm manner.
Pöcking - Mayor Rainer Schnitzler had a certificate, attention and warm words for everyone at the last session of the parliamentary term, which took place in the large Beccult hall.
Amelie Erhard even got a serenade from her SPD parliamentary group colleague and guitarist Christian Hörndl. He composed the lyrics of Münchner Freiheit ("What is missing now is you") and Tim Bendzko ("Only save the world for a short time"). Erhard said goodbye to the town council after 42 years, many of them as deputy mayors. In particular, she pleaded with younger successors for the political commitment: “For me it was partly like therapy. It pays off. "
The longstanding fire department chairman Walter Erhard (PWG) has 18 years of municipal council behind him. In addition to him, Annette von Nordeck (FDP, since 2014), Anke Klostermeier (PWG, since 2014), Karin Wania-Michels (CSU, since 2017) and Ulrich Rieger (CSU, since 2018) were also adopted. Melanie Grenzebach (PWG) and Ascheringer local spokesman Gregor Trummer, who also left, were not present at the meeting.
Mayor Schnitzler emphasized the "respectful and constructive cooperation". The new council meets for the first time on May 7th.
