44 years in the community: Solveig Gschaider says goodbye!
In a historic moment, the Protestant parish of Gmünd-Waidhofen says goodbye to Solveig Gschaider, who is stepping down as secular leader after an incredible 44 years. On March 9, 2025, after she had already elected her successor Katia Waitz in December 2023, Gschaider will be officially farewelled in a festive ceremony. The Schremser, born in 1939, has guided the community's fortunes for decades and leaves behind an important legacy.
The ceremonial handover of management takes place as part of an introductory year in which Katia Waitz was extensively prepared to take on Gschaider's role. This crucial phase is intended to ensure that the new curator is well integrated into her tasks. As the NÖN reports, Gschaider will be honored in praise for her many years of work and the community will be asked to shape a future together with Waitz that is based on the solid foundations of Gschaider's decades of work. The celebrations are all about gratitude and change, as the NÖN describes in an article.
The handover is not only a farewell, but also the beginning of a new chapter for the parish, which is looking forward to the challenges ahead with Katia Waitz. Their contribution to the community and their veterinary expertise could bring new impetus to community work. The farewell of Solveig Gschaider symbolizes the end of an era and the beginning of fresh possibilities for the Protestant community.
