A musical legacy: Roßberger receives the Golden Citizens' Medal

Shortly before Christmas, the city of Bad Tölz distinguishes outstanding personalities. On Monday evening, the Tölz Singing and Music School and their school community said goodbye to the long-time headmaster Harald Roßberger, who will retire after 35 years. Just a day later, he received the city's Golden Citizens' Medal in the meeting room of the town hall. In his eulogy, Mayor Ingo Mehner emphasized the far -reaching merits of Roßberger, who not only shaped the music school sustainably, but also significantly shaped the city's cultural life. "You are always young in your head, always fresh. You always have ideas," says Mehner, who described Roßberger as the engine of cultural developments in Bad Tölz. Roßberger initiated the "City with the Special grade" series, which offers around 100 free concerts every year.

In addition, Josef Steigenberger posthumously was awarded the Golden Citizens' Medal. He died in 2023 at the age of only 59. Steigenberger was the chairman of the Kolping Family and Culture Representative of the City Council. His wife Rosina and daughter Caroline also accepted the award. Mehner emphasized: "He had such a wide range of his actions as you rarely experience it." Steigenberger always campaigned for the positive development of Bad Tölz ’. He was an estimated co -designer, and many would have benefited from his joys of creating, the mayor concluded.

The honor of both personalities underlines the importance of cultural engagement for the city of Bad Tölz, which is also clear by the founders and the hard -working driving of initiatives and projects, such as the Academy on Schlossplatz. Both Roßberger and Steigenberger will be remembered for their services to the city, such as the Süddeutsche Zeitung reported.

Overall, these honors not only reflect the negligence of the honored, but also the endeavors of Bad Tölz to promote a lively and culturally rich community, which is anchored in the spiritual legacy of the city, as well as Patrimoine Gruissan
