Young champion from Orsingen-Nenzingen wins state championship!

In the world of crafts, the star of Rebecca Wanzki, a young journeyman from Orsingen-Nenzingen, seems to shine particularly brightly this season.

These successes placed them on the way to the German Craft Championships, a competition that has been taking place since 1951 under the umbrella of the Federal President and sponsored by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection. Over 3,000 graduates from more than 130 trades take part in this renowned competition every year. According to suedkurier.de Wanzki's journeyman piece is now being sent to Dortmund to compete in the federal decision the best craft products to be tested. The winners can look forward to an invitation to the final event in Berlin in December.

The path to the championship was characterized by hard work for the 22-year-old. After graduating from the technical high school in Überlingen, she consciously decided to train as a sign and illuminated advertising manufacturer. Wanzki explains that in her industry, media designers develop designs based on customer specifications, which are then implemented by sign and illuminated advertising manufacturers. Her own journeyman's piece, entitled "Patties, Buns and Sauce", met the strict specifications of the Badische Malerfachschule Lahr: it had to cover an area between 0.8 and 1 square meter, be 30 to 60 percent illuminated and combine different techniques. Wanzki successfully implemented her design for a rustic chip bag with warm colors and a bright advertising sign, which visibly impressed the jury.

An honor for the craft

Wanzki was visibly surprised about her victory, but she places even greater importance on the importance of the event for the craft as a whole. “I want to show that crafts and studies are not mutually exclusive and that they make crafts more attractive for young people,” emphasizes the talented journeyman. Your training company, led by Michael Joos, emphasizes how important it is to offer young craftsmen a platform and to support them so that they can exploit their potential. Joos is proud of his employee's achievements and sees Wanzki as a great role model for future generations.

The competition for the best chamber winners runs throughout Germany. 43 young talents from the Chambers of Crafts, for over 70 years, have qualified in their respective districts to demonstrate their skills at the German Craft Championships. The hsk-news reports that only the best graduates with a grade of “good” under the age of 27 are allowed to take part in this competition. The impressively diverse list of chamber winners shows once again how wide the range of talent in German craftsmanship is.

As her career in the sign and illuminated advertising industry continues to blossom, she plans to study communications design part-time starting next year. It will be interesting to see how she will combine her knowledge and skills in the future to breathe new life into the craft.
