Life writes the roughest dramaturgy: just a few weeks ago, the board of directors of the home association had discussed the course of the annual meeting with horst ruhnau, who was in poor health. Now ruhnau had died even before the meeting.
As second chairman hermann weidner explained at the beginning of the annual meeting, the aim is to continue the home association in the spirit of the late. Ruhnau was chairman for ten years.
In the coming years, the focus will continue to be on the care of the lichtenstein castle ruins, keeping the paths and the grounds clean, and the time-consuming work on the display cases. 20 years ago, an agreement was reached with the district of habberge, the owner of the castle ruins. Furthermore, the history of the nearby homeland, the culture, the experience of nature and the visit of castles and palaces were on the program as before. In addition, they want to pay a visit to the basilica of vierzehnheiligen.
Because the board of directors was elected for two years in 2017, there will be an early election of the new chairman this year, weidner said. Until then, he will lead the club provisionally. Mayor ralf nowak thanked the heimatverein especially for the service in the castle ruin lichtenstein.
The suggestion of uli kuhn to organize a photo competition for a local calendar will be discussed in the board of directors and will be presented to the public if this is feasible.
