Among the guests were District Administrator Christoph Göbel and Deputy District Administrator Annette Ganssmüller-Maluche, Ismaning's First Mayor Dr.

Strengthened by a white sausage breakfast in the community hall, the guests gathered on Sunday at 10 a.m. for the service in the castle park, which was celebrated by Pastor Rainer M. Schiessler, who is very close to the Red Cross.

50th anniversary at BRK Ismaning: Willingness is "one of the most important pillars in the district"

A special highlight was the parade of vintage emergency vehicles from the police, fire brigade and Red Cross, which joined the parade with highlights such as the legendary Isar 12 police vehicle and a complete historical fire engine from the Ismaningen fire brigade.

When the procession entered the church square, Martin Waas, who had organized the procession and the vintage emergency vehicle procession, moderated the procession together with Saacke, who was on call.

Both told stories about the vehicles and made references to the Red Cross.

So you could impressively experience what 50 years of progress and development bring.

At the subsequent celebratory meeting in the citizens' hall, District Administrator Göbel congratulated the Ismaninger Red Cross on its impressive development and thanked the entire BRK district association in Munich for its extraordinary commitment to the pandemic.

"Without the Red Cross with its diverse commitment, we would not have been able to cope with the Corona crisis so well.

The Red Cross was thus one of the most important pillars in the entire district.”

Ismaning's mayor Dr.

Alexander Greulich also thanked the many helpers from BRK Ismaning.

“The Red Cross has become indispensable in Ismaning.

The performance, in particular the volunteer commitment with medical services at all major events in town and the seven days a week around the clock voluntary service of the on-site helper, who is on site in the shortest possible time in the event of medical emergencies, deserve the utmost respect".
