Erhard Zahn appointed honorary market champion - 50 years of cold market!

Ortenberg, Deutschland - An end full of honor for a true market master! Erhard Zahn, who steered the fortunes of the cold market in Ortenberg for over five decades, was able to look forward to a warm recognition on the evening of the showman reception. Mayor Markus Bäckel and first city councilor Nina Bergmann give him the special award of the honorary market champion - a moment that was charged with emotions, especially when his son Julien, who is now responsible as a market master, was present at the honor.

The showman reception is more than just a meeting before the big festival: it is a place of gratitude and recognition. This year the mood was particularly festive when the market community celebrated the loyalty and connection of the long -standing showmen. Julien Zahn, who steps into his father's footsteps, also honored two families who have been represented with their snack stands for 25 years, and emphasized the family atmosphere that has shaped the cold market for generations.

The importance of tradition

A highlight of the evening was the honor of Erhard Zahn, whose name is closely connected to the cold market. "I am really flattened, I didn't expect this honor," the visibly touched tooth confessed. His calls after recognition sounded through the room when he thanked the showmen who had been loyal to him over the decades. The showmen associations in Frankfurt and Kassel-Göttingen also paid trifular use and presented him with an award for his outstanding cooperation over 50 years.

Konny Ruppert from the showman association left no doubt that Erhard Zahn is more than just a market master. "We already referred to him as legend at the time, and that applies more than ever!" Said Ruppert. On this emotional evening, not only memories were shared, but also strong ties that have shaped the soul of the cold market for years.
