Honorary member Rudolf Borcherding: A sports pioneer leaves us

The Kaarster Sport mourns the loss of a legend: Rudolf Borcherding, an outstanding member of the sports community (SG) Kaarst, died shortly before his 96th birthday. Borcherding, known for his passion and commitment, passed exams on the German sports badge until the age of 90 and won them more than 40 times. He was not only a founding member of the SG Kaarst, which was created in 1972 from the merger of several sports clubs, but also one of the first treasurer of the Neuss district sports association, which he led with great meticulousness. His wife, Elfi, who died in the summer of last year, taught generations of Kaarster children, while Rudolf steered the sporty fortunes in the background, such as RP Online reported.

last honor and memories

The funeral for the remarkable athlete will take place on January 9th in the Kaarster cemetery chapel, two days before he would have turned 96. Borcherding will be remembered in the Kaarster sports community as a committed and factual person who always advanced the sporting concerns with a heart and mind. His lasting legacy as an honorary member of SG Kaarst is estimated by many who have experienced his passion for sport and tireless support.

In Kaarst, several new companies and institutions have also been registered that could give future economic impulses. Among other things, Grünwelt warmestrom GmbH and the tiremisu GmbH founded. These developments could bring interesting perspectives for the region and draw a picture of the dynamics that still exists in the time of the loss of such an important athlete in Kaarst.
