Certified embroidery course instructors: A celebration of tradition in Sigharting
In a warm ceremony in Sigharting, two outstanding women were honored for their commitment and skills in the craft of embroidery. Inge Binder, the chairwoman of the Goldkappengruppe Neuhofen, and Karin Reisinger from Geinberg made a decisive contribution to promoting traditional craftsmanship by successfully completing a course to become a certified embroidery course leader. This course covered various types of traditional hoods, including gold hoods, pearl hoods, pile hoods and the girls' band.
The certificate award ceremony took place in the festive setting of the Christmas market in the Sigharting parish church. Under the motto “What we do and experience together brings us together,” the importance of community and collaborative work was emphasized. The event not only offered a celebratory occasion, but also an opportunity to pass on the proud heritage of craftsmanship and to thank the new course leaders for their valuable work.
Honor traditional crafts
The Neuhofen Goldhood Group and its members are actively committed to preserving regional traditions. The training of new embroidery course instructors like Inge Binder and Karin Reisinger not only passes on knowledge, but also promotes interest in these beautiful, hand-made traditional costumes. The participants not only learn embroidery techniques, but also the cultural significance of the traditional costumes in the region.
This recognition and certification lays the foundation for future courses where young and old generations come together to keep the craft of embroidery alive. Events like these help raise awareness of local traditions and strengthen a sense of community. The fascination for traditional costumes and their production is passed on across generations.
Such a celebration shows how important it is to appreciate and actively live your roots and traditions. The voluntary work of these women is not only a contribution to the preservation of ancient knowledge, but also a beautiful expression of community spirit and identity.
