Nine new agricultural masters awarded in Aalen!
On December 5, 2025, Wolpertshausen was the place where agricultural talents were honored. At a ceremonial handover of the master's certificates to graduates of the Aalen Academy of Agriculture and Home Economics, Dr. Ulrich Dura, department director of the Stuttgart regional council, presented the coveted certificates to nine newly crowned masters of agriculture. These included Jakob Feldwieser, Marius Fürst and Verena Wöhrle, who also received special recognition for their outstanding examination performance. Schwäbische Post reports that the path to the master craftsman certificate was peppered with intensive preparations and demanding exams.
The graduates had to complete extensive homework that not only analyzed the business and labor situation of their own companies, but also developed concrete improvement measures and future goals. This work played an important role in personal and operational development and had to be defended before an examination committee.
Exam structure and content
The entire examination process required careful preparation. The content included not only written tests in crop production and animal husbandry, but also an external business assessment, in which the participants had to evaluate an unknown business from an economic perspective. Topics such as vocational and work education, employee management and labor law were taken into account.
