A year after Gérald Pump's death: memory of a pioneer of psychiatry

A moving commemoration of the late neurologist and psychiatrist Gerald Pump is imminent. Pump, who suddenly died after a short, serious illness last year, left an impressive legacy that includes both medical and artistic dimensions. The Voitsberg former mayor Ernst Meixner pointed out that the time has hardly been sufficient for an appropriate appreciation since his death. This gap is now to be closed by a large commemorative event in the city halls of Voitsberg.

Gerald Pump was a pioneering pioneer in the field of mental health in the region. He founded the psychosocial center and developed numerous initiatives to promote the well -being of the population. Among other things, he was the initiator of the health hiking day and the health fair in Voitsberg. He also worked as an author and worked with the artist Nikolaus Trnka-Strasnitzky.

This special event will be an opportunity to appreciate Pump's life's work and give the many companions, friends and relatives the opportunity to gather and to express their grief and gratitude together. "He founded the psychosocial center and largely worked on strengthening mental health in our region," emphasized Meixner and recalled the diverse contributions of pumps to society.

This event is not only an important recognition of his life's work, but also a call to appreciation of mental health, which is often neglected in many communities. Gerald Pump's commitment has inspired many people and will continue to have a lasting influence on future generations.

The preparations for the memorial event are in full swing. It is a significant step to ensure that his heir is not forgotten and that the efforts to continue the psychological well -being of the community are continued.
