Mayor Josef Hauser welcomed the youngest residents of the community at the newborn reception.
The reception is intended to provide new mothers and fathers with contact persons.
Humbach - Dietramszell's town hall boss Josef Hauser usually gives his speeches to a much older audience.
At the monastery community's newborn reception, he naturally met the youngest generation of Dietramszellers.
For the second time in his term in office, Hauser invited the girls and boys and their parents to the Gasthof Geiger in the Humbach district on Friday to officially welcome them to Dietramszell.
“The newborn reception is almost more important than a New Year’s reception,” said the town hall boss.
The guests were “the citizens of tomorrow.” Hauser was pleased that not only the 25 who had registered for the meeting, but also ten other families spontaneously found their way to the inn.

The reception is intended to provide new mothers and fathers with contacts who will support the young parents in all situations.
Hauser: “This ranges from the youth representatives and the various playgroups to the kindergarten and the primary school.” Also there on Friday to answer questions about nutrition were representatives from the Holzkirchen Office for Food and Agriculture and “Koki” – a district office based at the district office Network that supports parents.

“We are well positioned in this regard because we have invested a lot in the youth and children’s sector in the past,” emphasized Hauser.
The parents were able to make initial contacts on site: representatives from various institutions presented themselves and their offerings in short presentations and distributed information material.
“Grüß Gott”: This could have been the beginning of a wonderful friendship.

33 boys and 31 girls born in 2023 can state Dietramszell as their home community.
“It started with a girl on January 6th - as we know, girls are faster - the last born was a boy on December 30th, 2023,” Hauser provided a few statistics.
The leader with 13 babies is Ascholding, followed by Schönegg (twelve) and Linden (nine).
The numbers are similar to those of the previous year: according to the mayor, 57 Dietramszellers were born in 2022.
At that time, Ascholding was also in first place with a dozen children, followed by Schönegg with nine children.
And in 2022, the birth cycle began with a girl and ended with a boy.

“I think the reception is a great thing,” said Marlene Kloiber, who came with her four-and-a-half-month-old son Xaver.
“You can get information and quickly find contact with other mothers.” Katharina Kranz, mother of daughter Veronika, who is also four and a half months old, confirmed this: “Friendships are formed here – and who knows, maybe our children will be together in the same crawling school one day. or kindergarten group.”
As a memento of the reception, Marianne Herfellner from the Mayor's Secretariat distributed the children's book "Because We Are Friends" by the British author and illustrator Steve Smallman.
One thing is certain: young and old will soon celebrate a reunion: “We also maintain the tradition in the community of planting a tree for each year,” explained town hall boss Hauser.
“I’m looking forward to this joint campaign in the spring.”
