Special event in Plattling: Life is beautiful despite the storm!”
On June 11, 2025, an inspiring women's group event took place in Plattling, led by Sonja Frodl and Michaela Sibler.

Special event in Plattling: Life is beautiful despite the storm!”
The event organized by the St. Michael Women's Circle in Plattling last Tuesday once again showed what community and cohesion can achieve. Under the motto “What gives us stability in stormy times – and yet life is still beautiful,” the two chairmen Sonja Frodl and Michaela Sibler welcomed around 45 guests from the city and the surrounding area. The meeting was not just a gathering, but was enriched by an impressive lecture.
The speaker Waltraud Eichinger, a primary school teacher with a moving story, openly shared her personal experiences, which deeply touched the audience. Her message was clear: Despite all the challenges that life can bring, there is always a ray of hope that gives courage and confidence. At a time when many people are uncertain, she conveyed an important aspect of life: the beauty in everyday life, even when times are stormy.
Community and support for women's projects
Events like those of the St. Michael Women's Circle are not only platforms for personal exchange, but also an opportunity to draw attention to further projects that support women. A particularly current topic is the financing of women's projects. On the occasion of International Women's Day, various foundations are addressing this important topic. These foundations, which operate in Germany and beyond, are committed to improving the living conditions of women and girls.
Ideas ranging from community housing projects to supporting female scientists are supported by various initiatives. For example, the Tübingen Beguinage Foundation supports initiators and women's groups for community projects. Another notable organization is filia - the women's foundation, which campaigns for freedom from violence and the participation of women. These and many other foundations offer opportunities and support for women in various areas of life. An overview of the foundations also shows that there are numerous opportunities to get involved in such initiatives.
Progress through women's power
The commitment of women's networks is reflected not only in events like those in Plattling, but also in the continuous support of projects that focus on educating and empowering women. In this context, numerous foundations offer programs that provide financial support for women who, for example, work in rare professions or want to work in research.
The energies that flow in these meetings and initiatives are priceless. They show that life can bring joy, despite all odds. The deep experiences and support within the community are the driving forces that encourage women to achieve their dreams and empower each other.
