Volunteering in Freising: Anton Neumaier adopted after 40 years!

Freising, Deutschland - In Freising, an era has come to an end: Anton Neumaier, the long -time district chairman of the Bavarian Red Cross (BRK) Freising, was said goodbye to a warm farewell party. Neumaier had made a career in the BRK, and over 40 years, of which 28 years as the first chairman. His work leaves deep traces, not only in the organization, but also throughout the district. He entered the youth red cross in Moosburg at the age of just 13 and remembers his first missions, including a dramatic one when he had to transport a heavily pregnant woman to the hospital at the age of 17. Merkur was reported that Neumaier was appointed honorary chairman-an award that only a few were assigned

Neumaier emphasized the enormous developments that the BRK went through during his term. The staff of 72 grew to a remarkable 352 forces. Also his successor, Martin Bengler, did not miss the opportunity to praise the merits of Neumaier and mentioned the close cooperation with district manager Albert Söhl, who also spoke of the longstanding friendship with Neumaier. As a sign of recognition, Neumaier Söhl presented a castle memorial coin.

honors and awards

The farewell celebration was not only a farewell to Neumaier, but also an opportunity to honor numerous deserved employees of the BRK. Mayor Martin Ernst from Marzling received the Henry Dunant Medal in silver, while Wolfgang Wengert received the BRK honorary badge in gold for 28 years as treasurer and Gerhard Weh for 28 years. In addition, for Anton Neumaier and Michael Pulcynski, who does not leave the board, special honors were requested from the state association, whereby details still stand.

Another side of the BRK has become clear in the past few weeks when the organization became active in June during the devastating flood in the Freising district. Over 2000 emergency services, including more than 500 members of the BRK, were on duty to support the population. District Administrator Helmut Petz spoke of the "flood disaster unexpected size", which not only provided food, but also built up care centers and evacuated many people. The website of the BRK emphasizes how important the role of the volunteer in such crisis situations is.

Neumaier itself not only put his merits in the foreground, but also the close connection of the BRK to the district office. He and District Administrator Petz honored the emergency services who were awarded medals for their essential contribution. As part of the celebration, long -time volunteers were also recognized, which were not only active in the current flood, but also after the flood in the Ahr Valley three years ago, in which the BRK Freising also provided important help.

summarized, the adoption of Anton Neumaier was not only a personal, but also a collective appreciation for many years of selfless commitment in the service of the community. His legacy lives on through the many people who are still inspired by his passion and dedication at the BRK.
