The European idea is present in Bad Wiessee - at the moment even more than usual. The European Union has opened its values hiking trail on the lake promenade.
Bad Wiessee
- The values trail of the Europa Union Bayern on the Wiesse lake promenade was opened with a lot of political celebrities on Saturday (June 12th).
Four display boards invite you to reflect and exchange ideas about European (self-) understanding - they are intended to strengthen the foundation of values and thus point towards a common future.
Michael Fuug from the Miesbach district association of the Europa Union made it important to emphasize right away when welcoming the guests of honor and the onlookers at the music pavilion: “We need the EU for a future.
Even if some mistakes have happened in the European Union in the last few months. "
Bavarian life-and-let-live goes well with the idea of Europe
Markus Ferber, member of the European Parliament and country chairman of the Europa Union, also admitted that it had become noticeable that the EU had never ordered vaccines. But he also emphasized: “The EU is much more than a common economic market. In the EU we are working on and on a common set of values, and it makes more sense to argue on factual issues in the interests of the people across Europe than to fight us. "With democracy, the rule of law, freedom, solidarity, tolerance and all values, that resulted from humanism, Europe could develop further and personal happiness could be generated. "The Bavarian live-and-let-live is subsidiarity in the truest sense," explained Ferber. The idea of Europe and the Bavarian way of life would therefore go well together.
Aigner: Peaceful and happy life cannot be taken for granted
The President of the Landtag, Ilse Aigner, also emphasized the importance of Europe and the European idea based on common values.
She participates in the conference on the future of Europe and emphasized the importance of the state parliaments in the political body, which started on May 9, 2021 and is to formulate new answers for the future of European democracy and outline the next steps for European integration by 2022.
“It is not a matter of course that we are allowed to lead such a peaceful and happy life, but it is possible on the basis of these shared values.” Aigner thought it was a “great idea” to feel and see these values while walking in beautiful surroundings : "This is our future."
Bad Wiessee municipality is the only district municipality to be a member of the European Union
It is no coincidence that Bad Wiessee, of all places, is the first venue for this open-air exhibition.
Bad Wiessee has been the only municipality in the Miesbach district - besides the district itself - to be a member of the European Union for 70 years.
For this and for the fact that the community has always remained connected to the European heritage, state chairman Ferber thanked and presented Mayor Robert Kühn with a certificate of honor.
Kühn thanked and referred to the European idea, which Bad Wiessee is not only living through the longstanding partnership with the French city of Dourdan: “People from all over Europe and all over the world have come to us.
Bad Wiessee was and is a global swimming pool and we are hosts.
Here is Europe, ”said Kühn.
Together with Ferber, Aigner, the member of the Bundestag Alexander Radwan from Rottach-Egern, deputy district administrator Jens Zangenfeind and European candidate Isabella Ritter, he wandered off the display boards.
Together they also answered questions from guests on the lake promenade.
