The commitment of these two gentlemen is exemplary: Petershausen has two new honorary citizens.

Petershausen - With an honorary reception on Saturday morning, the community of Petershausen confirmed the commitment of the many volunteers who are active in clubs and organizations.

The board members of the numerous associations were invited to the ceremony in the school auditorium, musically accompanied by the Petershausen Salon Orchestra.

“They represent what holds us together in the community,” said Mayor Marcel Fath (FW).

Robert Götz and Wolfgang Stadler, who were made honorary citizens, received special awards.

Both represented “different spectrums of community politics of the past decades” and would have “shaped what happened in the community”, said the mayor.

With the honorary citizenship certificate, Götz and Stadler each received a climate-resistant amber tree as a gift.

Both are to be planted in memory at the Ostermeier pond.

Robert Goetz

Society is supported by voluntary work and by people who have made their special skills available to the community, said CSU local chairman and councilor Hilde Weßner in her laudation.

“Robert Götz is such a veteran”.

The 59-year-old, born in Petershausen as the son of the mayor at the time, Ludwig Götz, “worked smartly and with foresight for Petershausen”.

Even as a teenager, Götz was enthusiastic about the community partnership with the French Varennes-en-Argonne, and then headed the circle of friends from 1995 to 2020.

In 1986 Götz was also a founding member and until 1995 board member of the Petershausen local group of the Bund Naturschutz, headed the trade association as chairman from 2001 to 2012 and was involved in community politics for the CSU.

From 1984 to 1988 as chairman of the Junge Union Petershausen, from 2002 to 2012 as CSU councilor and for eight years as CSU local chairman.

“You left your individual footprint in Peterhausen, helped found a lot, continued others,” emphasized the laudator Weßner.

Robert Götz thanked him for the honor and emphasized "Diversity of opinion is an enrichment, but ultimately the unity must be more than the divide".

With a view to the upcoming challenges at local and global level, he emphasized: "We can only continue together."

Wolfgang Stadler

Karl Kühbandner, himself a former SPD councilor and holder of the golden citizen's medal, recalled the beginnings of Wolfgang Stadler (77) in local politics a good 40 years ago.

At that time, Stadler was elected to the local council, and for the first time in a long time there was a small SPD parliamentary group.

"Obviously it takes some getting used to for the mayor and some councilors."

Back then with his yellow R 4, today with an e-bike - Stadler is always out and about in the community.

Because that is one of his outstanding qualities, "the closeness to" his community ", to its citizens, the ear to their wishes."

Wolfgang Stadler has now been a member of the municipal council for 43 years, from 1996 to 2020 he was a district councilor.

In 1984 he was elected third mayor, and since 1996 he has always been elected deputy mayor.

"Four mayors of various stripes have now benefited from his loyalty."

Stadler founded the adult education center with his wife Cornelia; adult education was close to his heart.

Laudator Kühbandner described Stadler as "a person with empathy and understanding, with an understanding of the needs of others."

Stadler sees his appreciation as "mixed", as he emphasized.

"There are a number of others who would have deserved it as or even more."

Looking at the Petershausen Salon Orchestra, which accompanied the celebration with lively sounds, Stadler outlined his dream of “hearing you play in a Petershausen cultural palace”.

Perhaps a “Glonntal Philharmonic”, interjected orchestra director Eugen Tluck.

It remains to be seen whether this vision will ever become reality.

In any case, exciting conversations awaited the guests at the subsequent champagne reception with snacks from the buffet.
