It was a very special graduation ceremony at the State Technical School for Flower Art: for students and the headmistress.

- This year's graduation ceremony of the Weihenstephan State School for Flower Art was a memorable evening in several respects.
For the headmistress Marianne Wieler, due to the near retirement, it was two things: saying goodbye and saying goodbye to her beloved students.
The atmosphere between creativity and melancholy was extraordinary - there was poetry in the air.
Without a doubt, this graduation ceremony was very special.
One day before, Marianne Wieler, who everyone just called “Fee”, was officially bid farewell - now it was up to her to open the doors wide for her graduates.
In a brief review, Wieler recalled the past two years and its ups and downs.
In spite of so many Corona adversities, many things were very successful, and numerous works would have been simply "magical" for them too.
She warned that the “Weihenstephan Spirit” should continue to be carried in the heart, no matter where her graduates might end up.
Marianne Wieler gave goose bumps moments
According to Wieler, it is now important to have a plan - but it is much more important to have a lot of energy and even more optimism with you. “I'm sure you have a lot of creative ideas,” said Wieler. But she also thanked all colleagues for reliably steering this ship through all the rapids and all the storms with her. Especially with these thanksgiving moments with goosebumps, you could clearly feel how empathic and generous this woman is - with a clear view and a wide horizon.
The subject teacher and Vice President of the Association of German Florists, Karin Pressel, provided a special surprise: instead of farewell words, she gave a farewell song - and what a song!
Supported by the house band of the evening, Apollon's Smile, Pressel sang “What's Up” by the 4 Non Blondes, a song about the past and future alike.
Pressel shone with her interpretation so that the first tears flowed.
And that shouldn't go unmentioned either: Apollon's Smile made the ideal song selection for the farewell to perfectly illustrate the magical atmosphere.

The best of the best were honored
But the haikus that were written for the graduates were particularly touching.
Each individual received very special and poetic lines about their strengths and loves as a reminder of a very special everyday school life.
Because poetry, and that was clearly visible in the floral art works on display, is a central point of her work.
A central point of the graduation ceremony was the excellent performance of the students.
This year, too, the master's prize could be presented to the best with a certificate: Natascha Heubeck with an average of 1.087, Lea Schink with 1. 120 and Charlotte Stöferle with 1.200.
In addition, six graduates were able to obtain their technical college entrance qualification.
All twelve students of the year passed and can now break new ground with their successful graduation.
Wieler's successor Jens Gramberg-Madel also had tears in his eyes at the last words of the evening.
He paid his predecessor the greatest respect for her very great commitment.
With this, Marianne Wieler shaped an entire school era.
