Lisa Busch was not unknown in Lenggries.
She was active in many clubs and co-founded the local branch of the Greens.
Now she died at the age of 59.
Lenggries/Anger
– Lisa Busch was a woman of action.
She recognized topics, could identify with them and implemented her ideas with passion.
In 2019 she made a significant contribution to the founding of the local Greens branch in Lenggries/Gaißach/Jachenau.
Until August of this year she was also active as local chairman.
She died on Sunday (September 18) at the age of 59.
"She has achieved a lot with her integrative nature and made a major contribution to the development work in the Isarwinkel," says her party friend Barbara Schwendner.
"She was a kind-hearted, sharp-witted and thoughtful person."
Lisa Busch was also connected to the third district administrator Klaus Koch through the party.
“It takes a great deal of courage to be one of the first to commit to the Greens in Lenggries.
You don't just win followers there," he says.
According to Koch, it is thanks to Lisa Busch's courageous nature that three Green Party candidates were elected to the Lenggries municipal council in the 2020 local elections.
But Koch and Busch were not only connected in a political sense.
They also worked together.
"As a social worker, Lisa Busch was a valued employee at the Marie Luise Schultze Jahn School."
"She was generally motherly and liked the students."
Lisa Busch has lost the fight against cancer after 8 months
Her mother managed the location of the “Donner und Partner” training center in Rosenheim until the very end, reports daughter Theresa.
Everyone in the family agrees on one point: "My mom was a thoroughly warm and humorous person." Despite the exhausting battle with cancer, she was always in a good mood and positive, says Theresa Busch.
Her mother received the diagnosis eight months ago.
"Until shortly before her death, she said she would be able to live with it for a few more years - even when she was already in the palliative care ward," reports her 28-year-old daughter, also on behalf of her 32-year-old brother Hannes and sister speaks of Lisa Busch.
Four years ago, Busch became a grandmother for the first time.
"She also grew into the role," says the daughter.
The most important thing for Lisa Busch was always her home.
"She loved living in Lenggries and getting involved here."
In addition to her political commitment, she was active in the Schutz association (gay and lesbian in the Oberland), the VdK Lenggries and the old Catholic parish.
“But she never wanted to play first fiddle.
She was much more a team player and a helpful mediator," says the old Catholic pastor Peter Priller, who will bury his longtime companion in her beloved Lenggries next Monday.
"She always sensed when someone needed help and then worked to ensure that they got their space," recalls Priller.
It is also thanks to Busch that many lesbian women have found their way to "protection".
Lisa Busch leaves big gaps in Lenggries
An offer of help that went out from Lisa Busch was also the beginning of her friendship with Amanda Reiter.
After the athlete and software developer had been publicly mocked at a carnival procession because of her transsexuality in the community (we reported), Busch approached Reiter.
"I didn't actually need any help directly, but I found it remarkable how she stood up for me and also against this discrimination," says Reiter of the deceased.
With Busch's help, among other things, the incident was publicly processed at a meeting in the "Pfaffensteffl".
"She fought for everything that was close to her heart." Together, the two women then promoted the establishment of a local Greens association.
"She was very brave and there for others."
Not only that, says her daughter: "She has always put the well-being of others above her own." Theresa Busch is now all the more happy - despite all the sadness - to have once again expressed her deep gratitude to her mother.
"I just recently told her how grateful I am for the wonderful childhood she gave us." In addition to deep gratitude and memories, Lisa Busch leaves a big gap in the place, in "protection", in the old Catholic church, in the local association, in the VdK - a big gap that will be difficult to fill, family, friends and companions agree.
