Heldenberg mourns the loss of a prominent part of his history. Martin district judge, a formative figure of the community, died on November 5, just a few days before his 91st birthday. He had managed the fortunes of Heldenberg significantly for many years and leaves a lasting legacy.

When these were merged in 1972, he took over the office of Vice Mayor until 1984. In the result, he was elected mayor of the newly founded Heldenberg community, an office that he was until July 31, 1996.

During his term, district judge contributed significantly to the development of the community. His term is characterized by numerous initiatives that aimed to promote Heldenberg as a community worth living. The positive development of the infrastructure and the strengthening of civic engagement were among its main concerns.

The community remembers him not only as a mayor, but also as a person who always had an open ear for the concerns of the citizens. His ability to listen and find solutions made him an estimated contact person.

After his resignation in 1996, he remained active and committed in the community, which made him a familiar figure in Heldenberg. Long after his departure from political life, district judge was present at many local events and shared his knowledge and experience with the next generation of leaders.

his death represents a loss for the community that comes together during this time to appreciate his life's work and to find consolation in memory of his services.

This grief for an old mayor reflects the appreciation that the citizens brought towards him and will certainly continue to exist in the memory of the parishioners.
