In future you can get married on top of the Nikolaiberg - “the most beautiful place in Wartenberg”, as it was called during the cultural summer.
That would be a wonderful backdrop for the solemn act with registrars, bridal couple, groomsmen and guests.
This is what the three mayors of the administrative community thought and crafted a template for the community assembly.
Wartenberg - Namely, a place where marriages are allowed must be dedicated with the permission of the legal supervisory authority.
This requires a resolution by the community assembly.
And it did not fall unanimously.
Michael Paulini (SPD, Wartenberg) raised concerns about whether it would work that easily.
After all, hiking trails led through there, there could be problems with the enforcement of house rules.
He expressed doubts whether hiking trails could simply be closed for the duration of a wedding.
What to do if the Nikolaiberg is planned, but a bad weather front comes? Then you can switch to the Wittelsbacher Saal. Its dedication is far less problematic. But if there is an art exhibition then, the official wedding room in the town hall has to serve again. Paulini didn't want art to be hindered, now that everything is slowly starting up again.
Isabell Haindl (CSU, Wartenberg) raved about the Nikolaiberg: “A wonderful location!” She remembered her own (church) wedding in the chapel up there and the reception that followed.
"Bridal couples take a look at it beforehand," she said to Paulini's address with a view of the hiking trails.
Wartenberg's mayor Christian Pröbst (CSU) also pleaded for this to be handled flexibly.
“It is feasible.
If that works in other churches, why shouldn't it work with us? "
The decision for the Wittelsbacher Saal as a possible wedding location was ultimately unanimous, but for the Nikolaiberg, Paulini voted against.
