Schwandorf District Marks Milestones and Growth

The Schwandorf district is buzzing with celebrations and milestones. The 'Partners for the Schwandorf district' association marks its 25th anniversary, while the Lintach Garden Club and Village Improvement Association reaches its 50th. Meanwhile, a local legend, Josef Strobl, known as 'Treiglweber Sepp', celebrates his 90th birthday. The district also sees new growth with tree planting and membership expansion.

The 'Partners for the Schwandorf district' association commemorated its 25th anniversary with a special ceremony. Founding members were honoured with a certificate of honour and a gift, acknowledging their dedication and contribution to the association's success. In other news, the Lintach Garden Club and Village Improvement Association celebrated its 50th anniversary with a grand event attended by members, local officials, and community members.

The district's growth is not just metaphorical. The association has flourished to over 130 members, with various events keeping the community active and engaged. Recently, Matthias Loew and his team planted four new trees at the Schätzlerbad Weiden, further enhancing the district's green spaces.

Long-time members were recognised at the association's annual meeting. Walter Jokiel received an award for 40 years of membership, while Tanja Saller and Otto Meier were honoured for 15 years of service. Meanwhile, the Sulzbach-Rosenberg Trachten Association 'Erz- und Eisenwalzerboum' celebrated its 75th anniversary, a testament to the district's rich cultural heritage.

In a less joyous note, the Witt Group in Weiden announced plans for significant job cuts to save ten percent of personnel costs. The move is expected to impact the district's economy.

The Schwandorf district continues to thrive with community spirit and growth. Despite the challenges posed by the Witt Group's job cuts, the district's associations and events remain a beacon of unity and progress. As 'Treiglweber Sepp' celebrates his 90th birthday, the district looks forward to many more years of celebration and achievement.
