Egling in 1973: feast day for the new pastor - state train to the Sebaldus chapel
With flags and music, a state procession made its way to the Eglingen Sebaldus Chapel in icy January.
The occasion was the inauguration of the new pastor Josef Weber.
"This time, in the middle of a sunny winter, it was time to move out, and they were not upset by the cool environmental conditions," writes our newspaper on January 17, 1973.
In a festive service, Dean Victor Ley from Münsing handed over the key to the Eglingen parish church to the new pastor – as a symbolic gesture.
The citizens then went to the Oberhauser inn for lunch together.
According to a report in our newspaper, the Deininger musicians and several people wearing traditional costumes made for an "entertaining afternoon".
Fight for rocket position in Deining - Massive protest from the population
One topic in particular occupied the people of Egling 50 years ago: the planned NATO missile site on the Schönberg in Deiningen.
It was the time of the "Cold War" between the USA and the Soviet Union.
With the anti-aircraft missile placement, the conflict came right after Egling.
"The federal government will not give up Schönberg's position" was the headline in the Heimatzeitung on January 9th.
Property owners on Schönberg read "with dismay" a letter from the government of Upper Bavaria that expropriation proceedings had been initiated for the launch pad.
A massive protest from the population followed.
In March, the Isar Valley Protection Association organized a protest in Munich.
Under the motto: "Citizens of Munich - Protect your Isar Valley", the association launched a signature campaign against the planned project.
A total of 6200 signatures came together that day.
A little later, the great disillusionment followed.
"Schönberg transferred to the Bundeswehr," writes our newspaper on March 26.
Resistance or not: Ultimately, Deining had to capitulate to NATO.
The missile placement was inevitable.
Greater Parish of Egling 50th Anniversary Recap - Mystery Shot in Attenham
In June 1973, a mysterious pistol shot in Attenham caused mystery.
"If you look for Dr.
Elmar Schlögl, Head of the Attenham Birds of Prey Sanctuary and President of the Action Group for the Protection of Birds of Prey and Owls, after life?
Or do you just want to silence him (...)?” the newspaper commented on the incident.
A "sudden shot" was reported directly against Schlögl's living room window.
That same morning, the head of the bird of prey sanctuary received a mysterious postcard.
He was then insulted as a "completely idiotic bird conservationist".
According to the home newspaper, it was not the first threat against the animal rights activist.
Schlögl had dedicated himself to fighting dealers and smugglers of protected birds and worked closely with tax and customs investigators.
A few months later, in August, Schlögl died of heart failure at the age of 45.
Signs for equality in the municipality of Egling - at the district conference of the SPD
In terms of equal rights, the municipality showed itself to be progressive: For the first time, the SPD regional association in Bavaria focused on the topic "The problem of women in society and politics" at the district conference in Egling.
At the same time, the event took place in October under female leadership for the first time.

The upbringing and model of women show "still the image of the tireless housewife and mother, man's servant", criticized speaker Inge Gabert.
In addition, women often earn up to a third less than men for the same performance as men.
According to our newspaper, the debate was heated up considerably by "very different expressions of opinion".
Wolfratshausen's then mayor and SPD member, Willy Thieme, wanted to "prefer to leave the woman in her usual place" in order to give the man more time for political activities through her help.
Small war in Neufahrn against inn - neighbors who have moved in complain
In October, a small war raged against the “Vogelbauer” inn in Neufahrn.
The conflict was triggered by a citizens' initiative: Neighbors who had moved in complained about "excessive noise and odor pollution".
For almost two hours, the municipal council searched for a “mutually satisfactory solution”.
For example, the demand for the rehabilitation of the sewage disposal and the strict observance of the curfew came out.
Was the argument finally over?
In any case, in 1973 there was nothing more to be read on the subject in the local newspaper.
"Vietnam-Baby" is coming to Egling - New parents are overjoyed to welcome little "Jan".
Yet another conflict had repercussions as far back as Egling in 1973: the bloody Vietnam War.
A malnourished foundling from Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam, found adoptive parents in Egling.
"It's amazing how the baby survived the long flight and the subsequent car ride from Cologne to Egling, despite being underweight and in a pitiful condition - at ten months old it weighed as much as a strong, newborn baby," reported the Heimatzeitung on October 17.

His new parents Peter and Renate Eisenblätter were overjoyed to receive little "Jan".
In his few months of life, the boy had already been through a lot: "The pretty baby with his toned skin color and the big black eyes" was born in Vietnam in the middle of the war and grew up as a foundling in an orphanage.
The French superior of the facility did not simply let her little protégé go.
In a personal letter, the head of the orphanage asked Renate and Peter Eisenblätter to "love and care for the Vietnamese boy like one's own child".
