Reichenbach-Steegen: A village becomes a musical highlight!

Reichenbach-Steegen has successfully completed the development process into a “Musikantenlanddorf”. This was recognized at an event at which Mayor Kathrin Wolf presented the signs for the four districts. District Administrator Ralf Leßmeister praised the village community's active participation in the inter-communal TRAFO project “Westpfälzer Musikantenland”.

As part of the project, large marble runs are planned for the playgrounds in the districts, which are scheduled to be implemented in spring 2025. The event also included presentations of sewn workpieces, readings from the “hierzulande” writing workshop and a dance performance from the “Reichenbach-Steegen dances” workshop, accompanied by music from the Reichenbach Music Association.
