Katharina Hutterer from Söcking has recently become administrative manager of the Starnberg and Pöcking parish communities and is therefore the first point of contact for many secular questions.
This brings the former Siemens employee full circle, so to speak.
Starnberg/Pöcking - She was an altar server, senior altar boy and youth leader, taught communion groups, earned a few euros as a sacristan for a while and most recently worked on a voluntary basis in the parish council and in the church administration.
The Catholic Church is home for Katharina Hutterer (45) from Söcking.
And yet it wasn't a sure-fire success to switch sides and switch from voluntary work to a full-time position.
Since mid-September she has been the administrative manager of the Starnberg and Pöcking parish communities with around 75 full-time employees and is therefore just as authorized to sign as the pastor Dr.
Andreas Jall and Leander Mikschl.
Katharina Hutterer is the first point of contact for the kindergartens and staff, for tenants of church apartments and premises as well as for all topics that currently revolve around the planned new building of the St. Nikolaus kindergarten in Starnberg.
When Hutterer and Jall recently met with the Starnberger Merkur to talk, the city priest's relief at the development was clearly noticeable.
“The bureaucracy is getting bigger and bigger.
Pastoral care work is also increasing,” he says.
At the same time, the administrative management position in Starnberg was vacant for three years.
This led to such grotesque scenes that Jall, coming from a funeral, had to more or less go straight to the town hall to talk about compensating the deficit for kindergartens.
Jall admits that he was almost desperate after three or four tenders ran without a suitable applicant.
“Diocesan-wide there is no problem filling the positions,” explains the priest.
In Starnberg, however, things are different, mainly due to the high cost of living.
At some point Siemens ran out of steam
So while Jall was looking for a new person responsible for secular tasks, Katharina Hutter was also looking for someone high up in Söcking.
After 20 years at Siemens in Munich, “at some point I ran out of steam,” says the mother of two children (8, 10).
She started at the global company as a working student, and most recently she and colleagues set up an internal control system and introduced it worldwide after the billion-dollar corruption scandal.
After her parental leave, the qualified economist said goodbye to her old professional life (“Siemens was good, but no longer my life”) and taught as a career changer for a year and a half, first at a primary school in Fürstenfeldbruck and then at the James Krüss primary school in Gilching.
“That gave me a lot of joy.
I went to school every day with a smile,” she says.
However, she generally lacked appreciation for the teaching profession.
Well, and then Andreas Jall seized the opportunity and asked Hutterer whether she could imagine working full-time for the parish.
“She knows what makes the church tick and knows everything the church has to offer,” he says.
Hutterite: “I am absolutely satisfied”
After the number of hours was reduced to 20 due to a reorganization, things were done for Hutterer.
She can now be found in the rectory on Weilheimer Strasse four days a week and in Pöcking on the fifth day.
A large part of her working time is taken up by working with the kindergartens.
With 155 children, St. Nikolaus is the largest daycare center in all of Starnberg, plus the preparations and planning for the new building - “I can't take part in all the rounds of negotiations,” says Jall.
The preparatory work for the award procedure was and is largely in Hutterer's hands.
In addition, there are the kindergartens St. Pius in Pöcking and St. Maria in Traubing, which fall under her area of responsibility.
“I am absolutely satisfied and have done everything right,” says Katharina Hutterer about her career change.
“I no longer had this job satisfaction at Siemens.” And Andreas Jall?
He admits: “Over the past three years I have noticed that things were getting to me.
Now I'm starting to feel that I'm not so rushed anymore.” He no longer has to feel guilty because he wasn't able to properly prepare for a topic or perhaps treated an employee or volunteer unfairly because of the situation.
Katharina Hutterer is the new strong woman in the rectory, emphasizes Jall and says: “A parish is not a one-man show.
We are on the move as a team.”
