“Mayor is looking for a wife”: fire brigade helps Bavarian town hall chief find a partner

“Mayor is looking for a wife”, these words are emblazoned on a maypole in Sigmarszell (Bavaria).

The local fire brigade wants to help the mayor find a partner.

Sigmarszell - To help the mayor find a partner, the Sigmarszeller fire brigade helped a little with a maypole.

The town hall chief takes it with humor - and receives initial expressions of interest.

Sigmarszell (Bavaria): "Mayor is looking for a wife" - fire brigade helps with the search for first lady

“Mayor is looking for a wife” is emblazoned in white letters on a red heart on the maypole in Sigmarszell - a few meters from the town hall. Some young members of the voluntary fire brigade in the Allgäu community (district of Lindau) want to help Mayor Jörg Agthe in the search for a "first lady". “I think it's great that the youth here care so much about their mayor,” says Agthe. “That's good humor.” First the

reported.

Agthe (39) has been the municipality's head of administration for seven years.

He has a lot of work to do, but currently has no woman at his side.

“That's why the fire brigade asked me when a first lady would actually be joining me,” he reports.

However, he has never posted a personal ad for this purpose.

“I actually think that something like that just happens in life,” said the mayor.

"Mayor is looking for a wife" (Bavaria): Town hall chief has clear ideas about the first lady

The town hall chief has clear ideas about what a "first lady" should bring for Sigmarszell. “The most important thing is that she has a good heart - and honesty,” emphasizes Agthe. Mental beauty is more important than external attractiveness.

And the maypole advertisement is apparently already having an effect: the first marriage proposal has already arrived at the town hall. “I received more than ten responses,” says Mayor Agthe. The dream woman is probably not among them so far: "The proposal is rather humorous to see."

In order to be able to establish contact outside the opening times of the town hall, the fire fighters have also given the telephone number of the administration on the maypole.

“The firefighters also asked me again if that was okay with me,” says Agthe.

The tree and its contact ad should definitely stand still a little longer.
