Ewald Steding: Rinteln loses a large entrepreneur and city designer

Rinteln. At the age of 84, the prominent entrepreneur and politician Ewald Steding died. He has had his longstanding influence in local politics over two decades in the city council and local council. Weg companions describe him as the "moderate voice" in the council, often able to defuse conflicts. Steding's expertise as a building contractor also enabled him to play an important role in the construction committee. His "assertiveness" and the ability to convince people were valued by many.

Steding was not only politically active, but also involved in various local associations. His contribution to the beautification association, where he has taken on a key role in the implementation of numerous projects, is particularly worth mentioning. This includes the significant preservation and expansion of the clip tower, which was provided with modern electricity and water pipes in 1976. The cultivation of the fireplace room in 1989 is also one of his achievements.

Family Business and Legacy

The roots of Steding's success are in the establishment of the construction company in 1966, which he took over from his father Oskar. Under Ewald Steding's management, numerous construction projects have been realized that shape the current cityscape of Rinteln, including the residential areas in the Nordstadt and the renovation of the historical council cellar. The quality of the construction work is reflected in the recognition of his long -standing employees who testify to a family working atmosphere.

his son Kay Steding continues the family tradition in the city council after being elected to the committee in 2006. Kay also took responsibility in his father's construction company and thus maintains the legacy that Ewald Steding leaves. His commitment, both in politics and in business, leaves a clear market in the city and is valued by the citizens.

sporting passion and voluntary work

In his free time, Steding was an active supporter of the sport in Rinteln. He was not only a member of the SC Rinteln, but also a passionate fan of FC Schalke 04. Honorary Mayor Friedrich Wilhelm Hoppe remembers that Steding often came to celebrations with his Schalke scarf, which underlines his enthusiasm for the club. In addition, he was chairman of the Schieß-Sportverein Krankhagen e.V. and was involved in the Association for Traditional Care and Reconstruction (VTR).

The diverse activities and the commitment Ewald Stedings in sports and in various clubs have contributed to bringing the community together. His death leaves a gap, both in politics and in the city's social life. The citizens of Rinteln will not only remember him as a politician, but also as a person who was always ready to help and support.
