Tragic loss: Breitenstein's mayor Rinnhofer died in the event of an accident

On Thursday evening, a tragic incident occurred in the Lower Austrian community of Breitenstein, which plunges the local community into deep grief. Mayor Engelbert Rinnhofer died in a serious tractor accident. The 52-year-old had only taken over the office as mayor of the ÖVP on Monday after he had been working in this function since 2010.

The accident occurred in one Thursday evening, and the first reports indicate that an accident could be related to the tractor. ÖVP-Department chairman Hermann Hauer was concerned about the loss and described the incident as a tragedy. "We lost a loyal father and a committed mayor," said Hauer in an emotional speech.

commitment and projects

Engelbert Rinnhofer was not only active in his political career, but also in the music scene, which was emphasized by many of his companions. Various important projects were implemented under his leadership, including the construction of a new fire station, a village square and a children's playground in the center of the village. These investments in the community were completed in the last legislative period and have made Breitenstein more alive.

He took over the mayor's office in 2010 from its predecessor Friedrich Koger and leaves a significant footnote in the history of his community. "Engelbert Rinnhofer will be remembered as one who brought people together and always had a look for the needs of the citizens," says a joint statement by the district party manager Hannes Mauser .

community mourns

The district of Neunkirchen is severely affected by Rinnhofer's sudden death. Numerous local politicians have expressed their condolences and the community gathered to mourn together to mourn their mayor. The sympathy and respect for his work and commitment are clearly noticeable in the words of his companions and citizens.

In these difficult times, the thoughts of the community are particularly at Rinnhofer's family. The close connection between the mayor and his fellow citizens will continue to live in the conversations and memories of his services. Engelbert Rinnhofer has only turned 52 and is now remembered as a formative figure of the municipality of Breitenstein.
