Göttingen is beaming: Nastasia Schmidt is the new goose!

The new Gänseliesel was recently presented in Göttingen: Nastasia Schmidt will represent the city for a whole year. The solemn performance took place as part of the traditional goose festival, to which an estimated 70,000 visitors flocked to the city center. Schmidt, a 28-year-old student of art science, prevailed against several competitors in the selection process and will now act as an ambassador for the university city. Your commitment is not only a special honor, but also a great responsibility.

The goose -based festival has established itself as an important event and attracts numerous people every year. "It was a complete success," remarked Petra Aschenbach, the managing director of Göttingen Tourismus and Marketing. As part of the festival, there was a varied program that was made possible by the generous support of numerous sponsors and was free of charge for all visitors. The farmers' market was particularly popular, which offered fresh regional products and proved to be a real asset.

The role of the Gänseliesel

The task of the goose is not only a title, but also includes a variety of activities and operations during the year. Schmidt will represent the city in this role, take part in various events and promote the cultural highlights of Göttingen. This tradition is deeply rooted in local culture and offers a fantastic symbol of the connection between the city and its residents as well as the visitors.

In addition, Schmidt will support two deputies: student Christin Griep-Rahming and the doctoral student Fabienne heir. Together they will master the various tasks and challenges associated with this representative role. The Mini-Mannseliesel, Ava Uhlendorf, is also supported by two young people, Isabella-Valentina Lorke and Lynn Budde, which establishes a connection between the younger and older generations of the city.

The choice of Nastasia Schmidt to the Gänseliesel brings fresh wind into tradition, accompanied by her creative ideas and passion for art and photography. The event and the celebrations around the goose leaf festival show how lively the cultural life in Göttingen is and what importance such occasions have for the community. All in all, the residents and visitors to the city can look forward to an exciting year full of activities and events that are inspired by the new Gänseliesel.
