Penzberg – New CSU face in the Penzberg city council: Martin Schmid (23) has now been sworn in.

He moves in for Nick Lisson, who had announced his retirement.

Nick Lisson had already announced: The CSU city council is leaving local politics for the time being.

Lisson received only words of praise in his last city council meeting on Tuesday evening (June 28).

For private and professional reasons, the Penzberger wanted to hang up his political shoes for the time being (Rundschau reported).

Saying goodbye was difficult for him and his fellow city councillors.

"But my wife and daughters really like it," Lisson said.

Farewell gifts

CSU faction leader Maria Probst said goodbye to her city council colleague "with a heavy heart, because he was always an asset to the party".

But there were not only warm words to say goodbye.

Lisson received an oversized towel with the heads of his CSU deputies from his own ranks.

Adrian Leinweber (SPD) presented a bottle of red wine and the Greens gave incense sticks and a poppy-hemp bath.

"It's funny when you get an invitation to the city council with the word 'dismissal,'" Lisson laughed during his farewell speech.

After eight years of service on the committee, the local politician left packed with gifts from his city council colleagues.

Trained butcher

His successor is Martin Schmid.

The 23-year-old was sworn in by Mayor Stefan Korpan (CSU) at the most recent city council meeting.

Schmid moved up in second place after Matthias Baumgartner had canceled in advance.

In previous meetings, the 23-year-old was able to familiarize himself with the political weather in the Penzberg committee.

At the age of 20, Schmid passed his exam to become a master butcher and in the same year the Penzberger also joined the local branch of the CSU.

In addition to his position as a city councilor, Schmid will also be second deputy to Christian Abt on the finance committee for the CSU, second deputy to Maria Probst on the building committee, second deputy to Christine Geiger on the audit committee - the first deputy is now Ludwig Schmuck - and a member of the board of directors of the municipal utility.

In addition, the 23-year-old now also acts as a member of the association council at the Penzberg sewage treatment plant special purpose association and as a youth officer.
