The focus: DRK Linz celebrates 300 years of commitment in Euskirchen!

Linz, Deutschland - linz. An impressive anniversary was celebrated: Volunteering concentrated over 300 years gathered in the old cloth factory in Euskirchen! The President of the DRK in the Neuwied district, Dr. Armin Rieger, praised the tireless work of the Rotkreuzler and did not miss the opportunity to thank the committed helpers for their tireless efforts. The day ended with a convivial evening in Leubsdorf, which continued to consolidate the community.

tradition meets the future

In his speech, Rieger emphasized the importance of tradition that is visible in the cloth factory. "Preserve tradition and shape the future at the same time" - that was his motto. He emphasized that it was important not only to linger in the past, but also to develop new perspectives so as not to fall behind. An urgent appeal that stimulated those present to think!

awards for deserved members

Another highlight of the day was the awarding of the golden badge of honor to the extraordinary Waltraud Schmaus, which has been active for the DRK for 40 years. Your services were recognized with medals as early as 2015 and 2019. Sabrina Köhler was also awarded the silver badge of honor of the DRK district association Koblenz for 25 years of voluntary work. Mayor Helmut Muther's DRK Linz praised as "exemplary positioned" and made it clear that without whose commitment many things were "no longer conceivable". A day full of honors and gratitude for the heroes of everyday life!
