Forstern - 100 years of warrior and reservist comradeship Forstern: Due to the corona, this anniversary could not be celebrated in a big way.
Instead, a small group of people held a service in the Tadingen Church, followed by a memorial service at the war memorial, including brass music and a gun salute.
The aim is to commemorate those who have shaped the club over the past 100 years, as well as the fallen and missing of the world wars, said chairman Stefan Ganghofer.
He was particularly pleased that in addition to Hannelore Falterer, flag mother of 2001, Fanny Jaksch, flag mother of 1960 and now 95 years old, had come to the ceremony.
Ganghofer looked back briefly on the history of the warrior and reservist comradeship, which began on January 16, 1921.
He also went into the activities of the association: the preservation of the memory of the fallen and missing soldiers, the care of the war memorial, the support of the Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge and participation in social life, for example through excursions and lectures.

Because peace is the highest good and cannot be taken for granted. "
