She is involved in dancing, gymnastics, brass band music, works as an industrial clerk, and now she is the beer queen in rottenbach: tatjana thonniben ascended the throne as the fourth representative of this office on friday for the official opening of the church fair. "I am very happy" she said in her short speech of thanks "and i hope that i will represent rottenbach well at the events in and outside our town".

However, she was not surprised with this honor. "A good part", she smiles and admits that "it was thanks to the mayor's stubbornness that I took on this task". Mayor ludwig wahl () had already set his sights on the new majesty during the kirchweih last year. At the then raustanzen, he launched the first advance inquiry. Tatjana gave a spontaneous answer – she says she is one of those people who first think things through carefully. In the course of the next months, however, came so many requests from the city hall that they decided to make a commitment.

Taken with the task

"Above all", she says "I'm also excited about the new task. Getting to know new people at the representation events outside the district, seeing how things are done there – that's quite something."
She was introduced into the tent for the crowning by the two oberortsburschen tobias sandel and markus warter in the circle of her musician colleagues of the rottenbacher blowing music. Their first task was to help pour the beer after it had been tapped by burgermeister wahl. She was lucky to be standing behind the fassla: despite much practice in the past years, wahl probably didn't hit it as accurately as he wanted: after the first blow, the tap flew and the valuable water made its way out into the open.

However, innkeeper herbert sauer, who has been assisting the community leaders with the tapping for many years, quickly closed the tap again, so that after a second tap it was time to say: "O'zapft is". There was still enough beer in the barrel, so that the numerous guests of honor from politics, economy and church as well as the local boys did not go empty-handed.

Wahl took his mishap with humor and assured me that this was certainly not the "little surprise" he had announced in advance had been. This turned out to be a congratulation for the chairman of the rottenbacher blasmusik, gunther sapper. Who celebrated his birthday on friday as well. The "rottenbacher carp song", that he in quiet hour "honestly, at night once at half past three it occurred to me" – at wahl's suggestion, came to the premiere and he was allowed to conduct it himself. The mayor and board member stefan engelhardt acted as sanger. Conclusion of the song: "a carp tastes particularly good when it is eaten in rottenbach"."

Spruce was 29 meters long

The evening was musically arranged by "appendix". A solemn procession of the flag delegations of the associations from the church to the marquee after a festive service had opened the evening. On saturday the boys put up the tree – 29 meters long and already grown. "At first, we were thinking about 45 meters," says – says tobias sandel happily." But one should not overdo it." The boys obviously enjoyed their work as much as the spectators did.

Kuchla z'ammspiln, gecher rausschlogn, betzn raustanzen follow then still on sunday, the monday applies to the pure celebration with fruhschoppen and tent operation. On tuesday the grumme is put up – the little brother of the kirchweih spruce, which is small and strangely hung to indicate the final end of the kirchweih.

The municipality of fortschendorf of the market pressig elected a local spokeswoman on thursday: christina kropp. The 35-year-old civil engineer/bridge builder prevailed against the two opposing candidates frank krockel and andre wicklein. It was noteworthy that 88 eligible voters took part in the election for the local representative for the 317-inhabitant district of fortschendorf.

Since none of the three candidates was able to garner the required half of all votes cast in the first ballot, a runoff election was necessary. 87 votes were cast, four of which were invalid. Christina kropp was able to achieve a clear majority with 49 votes against andre wicklein (34 votes).

Mayor stefan heinlein began by pointing out the provisions of the bavarian municipal code. The burghers of fortschendorf have submitted an application for the election of a local spokesman. On the basis of this application, he had called a local assembly for the election of a local spokesperson on the basis of the bavarian local bylaws. The local spokeswoman christina kropp received the confidence of the majority of the voters present. He congratulated the local spokesperson and thanked her for her commitment to the needs of the people of fortschendorf, but the same applies to the two opposing candidates who also applied for this office, which made a fair and democratic secret ballot possible. Heinlein: "our democracy lives on voluntarily engaged people, this is especially true in the small municipalities with its small community parts, as in the market pressig. If there is no local representative on the municipal council, the citizens have the right to submit a motion for the election of a local representative." Fortschendorf have claimed this right with success and will now be represented by christina kropp in the market town council meetings. They do not have the right to vote, but they do have the right to vote on matters concerning the citizens of fortschendorf. Christina kropp expressed her thanks for the trust placed in her and promised to do everything in her power to represent her village of frankenwald.

Especially the simple village renewal is pending, in which the citizens should be involved even more in the design around the fire station and the old school, but also other parts of the village as well as streets need some improvements. She was sure to have some local supporters in this matter, and named fire chief andre wicklein, who would certainly support her with his experience and knowledge, she emphasized in a short statement.

The secretary of the music club pressig knows exactly what honorary office means, because she has been an active musician in the music club pressig for over 25 years, in addition to her secretary’s office. Eh

Helmut rittelmeier will be wearing his firefighter uniform ("matter of honor") today, wednesday, and will be on his way to wurzburg. There the 68-year-old stands at 14.30 p.M. In the princess hall of the residence with the focus of a ceremony: secretary of the interior gerhard eck (CSU) and government president paul beinhofer will present him with the cross of merit on ribbon of the order of merit. He has really earned it.

Rittelmeier is a qualified mason with a master's certificate and worked in the district administration office. He is a firefighter with body and soul. At the age of 18, he joined the army in his hometown of nudlingen, made a successful career there and was promoted to commander.

That he joined the nudlingen defense force was "a matter of course at the time, you have to do something for the community. And: "you can't just demand all the time, you also have to contribute something."

Steep, straight career
Helmut rittelmeier sees the awarding of the medal less as an honor for himself than for the fire department as a whole. For many had contributed.

His rise as a rescuer was steep and straightforward. In 1982 he became district fire chief and in 1986 – as the youngest in lower franconia – district fire chief (KBR). This made him the highest-ranking firefighter in the district of bad kissingen. He is it until 25. November 2006 remained. Then, at the age of 61, he had reached the "crunchy limit" he has achieved his goal for this function; after all, he was still able to become chancellor. However, according to helmut rittelmeier, it was also time for a change to benno metz. He had never been in favor of extending the period of service: "when it's over, it's over"."

Financially uninteresting
When taking on this responsible and in many respects demanding office, financial considerations played no role. Although there was an allowance, it was more symbolic and had to be taxed. The same applied to the bright red company car for private journeys: "the state gives nothing away."

A district fire officer is only authorized to give instructions during operations. His main tasks are education and training, fire safety consulting, and fire safety education in schools and kindergartens.
He has consistently tried to maintain good relations with the commanders and has not interfered in their areas of responsibility, says herbert rittelmeier. He has always relied on cooperation, also with politicians. He thanked them for their support.

"It gets under your skin"
He enjoyed the social events, the get-togethers with young people, active members and former members of the fire brigade. Maintaining contacts and camaraderie are important to him.

Then there were the bad events when people were killed in fires and accidents. Helmut rittelmeier: "something like this really gets under your skin, you don't just put it away." This problem must be recognized and worked on. He did. The county fire marshal a. D. Involved in setting up the emergency chaplaincy in 1995. It helps deployed forces cope with stressful events and has become indispensable today.

2500 operations ("roughly estimated") he had experienced in almost 18 years of service. He traveled more than 2,000 kilometers per month. Up to 40 hours a week have sometimes been accrued in this way. That was often at the expense of family life.

Nevertheless: helmut rittelmeier does not regret his commitment to the people and the citizens.

Numerous awards
After the end of his service as a district fire chief, he was still involved in the firefighters' recreation home in bavarian gmain. In 1994, he was appointed vice chairman of the association, and from 2004 to 2010 he was chairman of the association. He is now its honorary chairman. KBR "h.C." It has been since 2006. He has also received numerous other awards, including the german fire department cross of honor in gold.
In 2010 he finally withdrew: "you can't stick to your posts."

Honor the order of merit of the federal republic of germany was established exactly 62 years ago. There are ten levels: from the medal of merit to the special level of the grand cross. However, only heads of state, their family members and federal presidents receive them. Anyone can nominate someone for the award. The decision is made by the federal president (or his office). 30 percent of the honors are reserved for women. To date, about 244,000 medals have been awarded, compared to about 1750 in 2011.

The "order of merit" is awarded for achievements in the political, economic and social spheres, as well as in the field of intellectual work…) served", it is stated in the decree of the foundation of the order of merit.

Fire departments in the district of bad kissingen there are currently 115 volunteer fire departments and three company fire departments. According to KBR benno metz, they have 5400 members, of whom approx. 400 women.
