This honor feels like a confirmation of his deep connection with Arnfels, where he was always proud to be part of the community.

Steinwender remembered how important it was to realize projects together with other people and how much fun gave him to contribute to the awareness of Arnfels. "It was always nice and you always found a group with which you could do something," he reveals.
A special note of the ceremony was the preparation of the "Golden Honor Ring", which was created by the granddaughter of the long -time actor Ewald Laber. This connection of family history underlines the cultural roots that are deeply anchored in the community.
