Solemn carnival: First large KG Sieglar celebrates 100 years!

Sieglar, Deutschland - On January 7, 2025 at 6 p.m., the first Troisdorfer, Skunz Group (between work and retirement), will be launched in the Sieglar community center "Zur Küz". All interested parties from Eschmar, Sieglar and Kriegsdorf are invited after 1953 to 1968. The foundation of the group was supported by the city of Troisdorf, the Caritasverband Rhein-Sieg and the Evangelical Peace Church community. Mayor Alexander Biber emphasized that the participants themselves determine which activities will be the focus - from hikes to cultural projects to sociable evenings. According to Claudia Gabriel from the Caritas Association, it is an initiative that promotes joie de vivre and social participation, and particularly invites you to contact and exchange. The group meetings take place every two weeks from January 21, 2025 in the Kreuzkirche, where the premises are available free of charge in the first year. More information is available from Claudia Gabriel and Bettina Plugge by email or by phone.

Another reason to be happy was the 100th anniversary of the first major carnival society Sieglar, which was ceremoniously recognized. Mayor Biber did not miss his humor when he alluded to the strong home consciousness of the Sieglarer by saying: "Every Jeck is different. And Jeck Simmer All!" The chairman Marco Esch, who continues the tradition with his father Matthias, was awarded the highest order of merit in carnival gold for his contribution to the carnival. The anniversary is celebrated in a special session, whereby the social commitment of the carnivalists was also emphasized. Biber explained that real Jecke are important to promote humor and cohesion in a crazy world. The appearances of the Cologne carnival band "Höhner" rounded off the festive evening, which continued to loosen up the mood.
