New goal for the Gettsdorfer cemetery: handicrafts from tradition

In the small Ziersdorf catastral community of Gettsdorf, a family has taken a remarkable initiative to renew the entrance area of the local cemetery. The old entrance gate was very worn out and urgently needed a refreshment. Mayor Karl Hummel, together with his wife Brigitte and his brothers Helmut and Erich, has now taken on this challenge and has significantly improved the appearance of the cemetery.

Under the direction of Karl Hummel, old, wrought -iron parts that were found when clearing out were cleverly processed. Helmut Hummel, who has an apprenticeship as a locksmith, designed the new goal, which now adorns the cemetery. In this creative redesign, two new concrete retailers were also built to anchor the gate stable.

A project of the Hummel family

The Hummel family has invested a lot of time and effort to improve the initial situation. "I did not throw the old parts away, but thought that they may still be used for something good," reports Karl Hummel. The redesign also includes the renovation of the adjacent wall and the entire entrance, which gives the cemetery a new, inviting face.

The work was carried out completely by the family itself, which shows how important the care of the local community is. This is not only a practical measure, but also a sign of engagement for the community and its traditions.

The renovated area now invites families and friends to visit their deceased in a well -kept and beautiful environment. The inauguration of the new initiative also shows that even smaller communities attach great importance to an appealing design of their public locations.

The work on the cemetery portal is an impressive example of how local committed citizens can achieve significant changes through community cohesion and craftsmanship. This not only upgraded the cemetery itself, but also promotes a feeling of belonging and respect for the deceased. Such projects strengthen the bonds within the village community.

Another positive aspect of the initiative is the sustainable use of existing materials, which is both environmentally friendly and cost -effective. The new design of the cemetery contributes to the identity of the place and offers a place of calm and commemoration in an increasingly hectic time.
