Grape schnapps for a good cause: Alberndorf fire brigade receives donation

A special moment was celebrated in Alberndorf at the weekend: The Dechant Placidus Leeb blessed 99 bottles of grape schnapps, which were donated by the Baumgartner family. This traditional event took place in ideal weather and attracted numerous visitors who attended this festive occasion. Among those present were members of the Alberndorf volunteer fire brigade who will benefit from the generous donation.

The mayor Manfred Baumgartner explained with a wink that this year's harvest was not quite as lavish as in the previous year. Instead of the usual 100 bottles, only 99 bottles could be filled this time. "The tax is already paid," he added, making it clear the organizational aspect of the event. The grape schnapps, which comes from the domestic distillery, is sold by the fire brigade in order to benefit from the income from the non -profit work of the volunteer fire brigade.

A tradition is continued

The tradition of blessing the grape schnapps for a good cause has a long history in Alberndorf. The schnapps is presented during the celebrations and is then sold by the fire brigade. With the proceeds of the sales, the fire brigade supports its projects and activities. For this, the fire brigade members of the Baumgartner family would like to thank you for their continuous support.

The event not only attracted local citizens, but also contributed to strengthening the community. Through such occasions, people get to know each other better and experience moments of cooperation. Despite the slight reduction of the number of bottles this year, the determination remained unbroken. Manfred Baumgartner looked optimistically into the future and hopes for a better harvest next year so that the event tradition can be continued in the usual form.

Overall, this occasion shows how important the cooperation is within the community and what role local companies and their donations play for the voluntary fire departments. Such events not only promote cohesion, but also ensure the financial basis for important voluntary work.

The blessing of the grape schnapps is a successful example of how festivals and traditions in small cities do not lose importance, but rather be kept alive through such initiatives. Such events are a sign of cohesion and solidarity in the village community and are important for the identity of the community.
