Hike and honor: Linden celebrates his long -time parliamentarians

Von Kl Redaktion

In the small but fine city of Linden there was recently a remarkable event that underlines the connection between local politics and the citizens. A parliamentary hike took place for the first time in the 47-year history of the city, followed by a festive get-together. This initiative was launched by city councilor Axel P. Globschütz to open the parliamentary summer festival in a special way. The aim was to involve the members of the city council on the way to a barbecue area in Großen-Linden in discussions and to strengthen the sense of community.

The hike that started at the town hall had more to do with symbolism than with the number of participants. Only eight parliamentarians set off, which is a very manageable group compared to previous years. The first city councilor Harald Liebermann was also present to accompany the small but fine steps of the meeting. Mayor Fabian Wedemann also joined the hiking crowd before everyone met Fernie at the barbecue area in the picturesque pit.

Special honors for long -term members

On the occasion of this special hike, a honorary members of the city council also took place. Some parliamentarians were honored for their loyalty and commitment in a solemn setting: Jürgen Arnold and Axel P. Globschütz were for ten years, Dr. Christof Schütz for 15 years, Uwe Markgraf for 20 years, Antje Markgraf and Renate Geiselbrechtinger honored for 25 years. The honor of Petra Braun and Dr. Heinz Lothar Worm for 30 years in the service of the city. A great applause was also applied to Harald Liebermann, who looks back on a remarkable 35 years and previously served as parliamentary group leader.

The fact that the administration was represented this time speaks for a positive change compared to previous events. Two years ago, the senior employees stayed away in protest, but the mood seems to have changed. Now the exchange between the members of the city council and the administrative staff was back in the air, a sign of more cohesion in the political landscape of this small city.

But why is this parliamentary hike so important? It not only symbolizes the progress in communication within the municipal administration, but also the will of the city representatives to seek the direct line to the citizens. This could be the beginning of a new chapter in the political culture of Linden, an invitation to the citizens to get to know their politicians in a more personal way.

The event is an example of a change in political practice, in which direct encounters and personal conversations put in the foreground. Such events strengthen the relationship between parliamentarians and civil society - a step in the right direction for the city of Linden.
