New Year's reception in Limburgerhof: Together strong for the future!

On January 9, 2025, the traditionally oriented New Year's reception took place in Limburgerhof, in which the mayor gave the central address. We were talking about the past year, which, according to the Limburgerhof report, was mostly positive, despite global challenges. The dissatisfaction and uncertainty among the population have increased, which puts the values ​​and democracy in danger.

"People need stable anchors such as family, circle of friends, faith or community," said the mayor. These words reflect the current zeitgeist, which many citizens find insecure. Despite these challenges, participation in the diverse events in 2023 by the local community was strong. These included the New Year's reception, the summer day parade, the fire brigade festival and the Christmas market.

events and community

All events of the 2023 event calendar took place and were well attended, which is a sign of the close connection between people with Limgerhof. The cultural offers were often accepted, and the churches and religious communities also play an important role by offering orientation and stability.

challenges and perspectives

At the municipal level, the inclusion of 120 refugees in Limburgerhof was successfully implemented in 2023, which is a challenge due to the tight living space. The administration and the local council work closely together to set up central accommodations. The planned wind turbines in the wind concentration zone Limburgerhof-Neuhofen are already well advanced and show a commitment to sustainable energies.

The central accommodation and the discussion about the partial expansion of a freight traffic route from Deutsche Bahn ensure current tensions. There are strong critical voices from the population who have contributed to the dialogue forum. This shows the firmly anchored civil will to help shape decisions.

outlook for the new year

In his speech, the mayor called up the citizens to participate in the local elections on June 9, 2024 and warned of the possible negative consequences of protest elections. He thanked everyone who contributed to the cooperation in the community and called for more commitment to clubs and institutions to further strengthen the community.

An entertaining part of the New Year's reception included contributions from various groups, supported by the local butcher and bakery. There were also suggestions for donations to the children's mission work 'Die Sternsinger' and the Lu-Ma rescue dog squadron.

parallel to the New Year's reception, a discourse from Vilshofen, another part of Germany, is reminiscent of the tradition of seeing the chimney sweep as a lucky charm. This tradition illustrates how important the feeling of security and happiness is in uncertain times. Mayor Florian Gams from Vilshofen spoke that 80 years of peace will be celebrated in Europe in the coming year. As in Limburgerhof, the desire to meet challenges together and to draw new hope to form the core of these celebrations.

In uncertain times, the focus remains on the fortification of community and support, while local initiatives and the cohesion of citizens offer confidence for the future.
