Amstetten celebrates the commissioning of new recruits at the main square

On Tuesday evening, a special ceremony took place on the freshly designed main square of Amstetten. As part of a solemn commissioning, 158 new basic military servants of the Jäger Battalion 12 were officially included in military service. This event not only marked the entry date for October 2024, but was also the first big event in the redesigned place, which was designed as a sponge city. A premiere was celebrated with the forefront.

The event was visited top -class. Among the guests were Defense Minister Klaudia Tanner, who awarded the municipality of Amstetten the title "Partner of the Bundesheer", as well as the deputy brigade commander of the 7th Jägerbrigade, Colonel Bernhard Köffel, and district director Martina Gerersdorfer. Member of the state parliament Anton Kasser and Mayor Christian Haberhauer were also present, as were the commander of the Jägerbataillon 12, Lieutenant Colonel of the General Staff Service Christoph Göd, and Lower Austria military commander Brigadier Georg Härtinger. This large number of representatives show the importance of the event for the entire region.

Another step into the professional career

The recruits, who are now officially competing for basic military service, have prepared for an important phase of their lives. The service in the army means not only a military training, but also a personal development for young men and women. With the support of the Federal Army and the municipality, they were able to take their oath and take their place in the Austrian defense system. This is an important step in the career, which is a great honor for many.

The implementation of the forecast on the main square also shows how the students and future soldiers are to be integrated into society. The place, which, in addition to its function as a military location, also serves as a public area, becomes a setting for community events and celebrations. The diverse use of the square will strengthen the sense of community in Amstetten.

The celebrations attracted numerous spectators who supported the new generation of soldiers and enjoyed the atmosphere of the event. Such events promote the exchange between citizens and the military and strengthen the understanding of the role of the army in everyday life. They also offer the possibility to appreciate the services and the use of the soldiers.

For Amstetten, this log in also means a positive impulse for the already ongoing renovation work on the main square. The redesign into a sponge city that combines sustainable urban development and innovative solutions for rainwater management is significantly supported by events such as this. The municipality can therefore meet both its responsibility for the infrastructure and for the support of its youth.

Overall, the fishing of the 158 basic military servants not only embodies a solemn moment, but also a symbolic act of gathering between the military and the civilian population. The support for the recruits who are now starting their journey into the Armed Forces is accompanied and caused by the support of their community, which makes the event even more important.
