Highlights: Georg Roth, former second mayor, long-time municipal councillor and fire brigade commander, was honoured with the Golden Citizen's Medal. Roth was born in Hebertshauser and ran the nursery for decades, which has since been handed over to his son. Roth held the office of commander for 28 years with probably 1000 missions. He was involved in local politics, sat for 30 years for the CSU in the municipal council, and was second mayor from 1990 to 2002. "The community owes you a great debt of gratitude," said Mayor Richard Reischl.

He is the first citizen of Hebertshauser to receive this award: Georg Roth, long-time municipal councillor and fire brigade commander, was honoured with the Golden Citizen's Medal.

Hebertshausen – Georg Roth received the black umbrella with the Hebertshausen coat of arms – the usual gift from the municipality for the 75th anniversary – from the head of the town hall, Richard Reischl, directly on his birthday. Nevertheless, the mayor and a delegation from the municipal council surprisingly appeared on Saturday at the family celebration for the milestone birthday. The "raid", as Reischl himself jokingly called the visit, had a very special reason: Georg Roth, former second mayor, long-time municipal councillor and fire brigade commander, was the first citizen of Hebertshausen to receive the Golden Citizen's Medal. The delegation had also brought the Golden Book of the municipality, in which the visibly moved Georg Roth was still allowed to sign.

Georg Roth, who was born in Hebertshauser and ran the nursery for decades, which has since been handed over to his son, had "always had an ear for the clubs and the community" as an entrepreneur, Reischl emphasized in his laudatory speech. "You don't find such a bond so often these days." Above all, however, Roth was committed to his community in his spare time. If the Hebertshausen fire brigade is in a good position today, "then this is entirely thanks to you, you are the father of our fire brigade".

Georg Roth was commander for 28 years

As a young guy, Roth took over the office of commander, which he then held for 28 years with probably 1000 missions. "We were a small Klitschen fire brigade without a real home, vehicles, equipment, everything has changed in your time." Modern vehicles, the first computer ever in a fire department, new construction of the fire station in 2011, for which Roth had laid the foundations, were tackled together with others. "But you always need the initiator, the engine. That was you."

At the same time, Roth was involved in local politics, sat for 30 years for the CSU in the municipal council, and was second mayor from 1990 to 2002. "You've always been a balancing element. Quarrels and provocations were never your thing." Important developments have emerged during this time, Reischl mentioned the new town hall and school building, settlement areas for locals, ICE expansion. "The community owes you a great debt of gratitude."

He also wanted to thank Roth privately, who motivated him to run for the municipal council in 2001, Reischl said. "Who knows if I would ever have developed an interest in it later." And even today, Roth gives him very honest feedback, "you are a value giver". Roth was visibly pleased with the recognition. It was important for him to emphasize his commitment, "I have always enjoyed doing that".
