Blasius Thätter (85) was in public for many years.

His wife Christl (82) kept his back free for him.

Now she was celebrating a diamond wedding.

Großberghofen

- The date of the first meeting comes like a shot at Christl Thätter: September 8, 1956. The then 17-year-old Sparkasse employee drove to the autumn dance at the inn in Großberghofen with colleagues. “Then there was talk of a Blasius who was also supposed to come. The name actually struck me as very rural, ”says Christl Thätter, who was born in Schwabing and who later moved to Dachau with her parents. "But in came a proud young man with a pepita jacket who had just graduated from high school."

The two of them immediately liked each other and danced pretty much every dance together that evening.

The tango was familiar to "the city dweller" Christl Thätter, but not the double.

With him it was the other way around.

“I really got on her feet while doing tango,” he laughs.

That didn’t hurt love.

But it was difficult to meet.

Nobody had a car back then, and not everyone had a phone either.

"Then I had to call her neighbor when I wanted to talk to her," said Blasius Thätter.

Or he called the Sparkasse and was put through to Christl.

“The lady at the head office has probably always listened in,” thinks Christl Thätter and smiles.

The engagement followed on Christmas 1959. “She told me that so many would get engaged at Christmas.

I had almost nothing left, ”says Thätter with his subtle sense of humor.

The couple married on May 12, 1961 while Blasius Thätter was studying, so that he could legally live in the house of his in-laws in Dachau.

At that time there was still the so-called dome paragraph.

“But for me we only obeyed the law.

Because for me, a wedding meant a church wedding, ”says Christl Thätter.

This followed on October 8, 1963 at Petersberg by Pastor Eichenseer, a friend of the family.

Blasius Thätter had first studied classical philology and German, then teaching at elementary schools.

At the wedding he was already a trained teacher, and the two of them got an apartment in the former community teacher's house in Walkertshofen.

Daughter Michaela was born in 1965, son Blasius followed in 1967, Benedikt in 1977. Christl Thätter prevailed in the choice of name.

Over the years she liked the name Blasius so much that the older son was supposed to be called that too.

In between there were hard, busy years.

Because in 1966 Thätter's father died suddenly.

He had a construction business with over 30 employees and just five to six construction sites.

"I had promised my father that I would not let people down," emphasizes Thätter.

By 1968 the young man suddenly had two professions.

His wife actively supported him in the company.

Then he gave up his beloved profession as a teacher in Walkertshofen.

He passed two master craftsman exams, as a carpenter and as a concrete worker.

In 1977 Thätter began to study again: special education.

He became a teacher again.

The company continued to run at a reduced rate until 1990.

Despite the work and the many leisure activities as a football coach, theater player or sketch writer, the family never missed out, confirms Christl Thätter. And she was also happy to take the step into politics: in 1972 as Erdweger municipal council, to which he was a member for 36 years, as a district councilor and later as a member of the state parliament until 2008. "I accompanied my husband a lot," says Christl Thätter. And he: "My wife was always good to have." Even if the couple "sometimes clearly expressed their opinion," as they put it elegantly, it was always clear that marriage was not questioned.

The Diamantene - civil - wedding was celebrated in accordance with the pandemic in the smallest family circle at home in Thätter's parents' house.

Christl and Blasius Thätter would like to celebrate the church in 2023 again like the golden wedding.
