Steinmeier in Kelkheim: Harvest crown for the Federal President!

In a festive ceremony that celebrates the harvest time, Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier receives a decorative harvest crown. This tradition is very important in Germany and symbolizes the appreciation for agricultural work. Today, on 11 a.m., Steinmeier is expected in Kelkheim in Hesse, where he will accept the crown as part of an ecumenical Thanksgiving service.

The German Farmers' Association organized the event at which the President of the Association, Joachim Rukwied, will welcome Steinmeier. This traditional transmission is not only an official act, but also a way to strengthen regional customs and the connection to the agricultural community. The harvest crown is handed over in cooperation with local organizations, such as the Catholic rural people movement, the Evangelical Church and the Land Women's Association. The crown of regional products is bound together with the country women.

Details on tradition

The harvest crown itself is an artistic work that symbolizes the abundance of harvesting. In this way, the crown is made from ears and other agricultural products. The custom of handing over this crown has historical roots that go back to the agricultural period, where the harvest brought people joy and abundance.

After the ceremony, a tour of a harvest market follows that offers further space for encounters and conversations. Here visitors can try regional products and specialties manufactured by the country women. This combination of celebration and local exchange promotes awareness of agricultural products and its importance for society. The visit of the Federal President also set a special accent on the appreciation of farmers and their tireless work, which often remains in the background.

at a time when agriculture is faced with many challenges, from climate change to economic uncertainties, support from political personalities such as Steinmeier is of particular importance. The event not only shows appreciation, but should also draw attention to the necessary changes and innovation processes in the agricultural economy.

The participation of the Federal President is therefore not only a connection to the traditionally defined customs, but also a step in the right direction in order to raise awareness of the continuation of important agricultural traditions and to honor the farmers working in the country. The harvest crown thus becomes a symbol of change, resilience and community.
