Honor for the last seniors: an unforgettable Advent afternoon!

Willingshausen, Deutschland - on the third Advent, December 15, 2024, a warm thank-you event for the older citizens of the place took place in Willingshausen-Merzhausen. The local advisory board organized the festive celebration in the Christmas -decorated Schwalmer Stube of the Antreffhalle, supported by committed volunteers. This event was an appreciation of the life performance of the seniors and offered an atmospheric atmosphere that was enriched by musical performances by the men's singing association under the direction of Thomas Klein and the harmony moments. The appearances of the "Bambinis" and the "Kindergarde" of the "Merzhäuser Gluck" provided particularly happy moments, supervised Sarah Schuchhardt, Jenny May and Louisa Deutscher. These performances led to radiant faces among the guests, while the pastor Betz gave a contemplative speech.

With a festive highlight, the organizers honored the oldest participants, Elli Blumenauer, 92 years old, and Hermann Steuerwald, 90 years old. A poinsettia was presented as a sign of appreciation. The celebration sounded harmonious with the singing of Christmas carols together. This event shows the commitment of the local advisory board to maintain the tradition of appreciation of older generations, which is also underlined by the structure of the municipal council and the local councils. In Willingshausen, the citizens choose its representatives every five years, which regulate the concerns of the different districts, as is explained in more detail on the municipality's website. There are the exact structures and compositions of the committees that lead and shape local politics ( willingshausen.de ).

These solemn events are not only a sign of respect, but also reflect on the lively community in Willingshausen, which is proud of their older fellow citizens and who honors their life stories. Such occasions contribute to strengthening the connections within the community and maintaining traditions that exist over generations.
