Heightened actions at the "SR on-site" in Saarwellingen
Community Gathers for a Celebratory Festival in Saarwellingen
Last Friday, the picturesque town of Saarwellingen played host to a vibrant community festival. The event, held on June 27, 2025, was a celebration of the town's spirit, warmth, and commitment.
The focus of the festival was on community topics such as housing, infrastructure, and the future of industry. Conversations with citizens and the town's Mayor, Dr. Horst Brünnet, were included in the reports, providing valuable insights into the town's aspirations and challenges.
The day's events were kicked off by fanfare groups "Die Hesebacher" and Ensdorf at 4 pm, signaling the start of an unforgettable day. Thousands of guests attended the festival in the afternoon, braving the rain that had initially threatened the festivities, but the sun graced the festival grounds for the rest of the day.
The festival grounds on Wilhelmstraße were transformed into an open-air TV studio, with Saarland Broadcasting present with its format "SR Fernsehen live on location". Musical contributions were made by Alina & Tim, "Dreierpasch", the Peter-Hedrich Quintet, Saarwellingen choirs, and the music association 1891 "Harmonie" Saarwellingen. A highlight of the day was a live broadcast from Saarwellingen starting at 6:15 pm, moderated by Sonja Marx, Julia Lehmann, and Joachim Weyand.
The festival brought the community together, showcasing the warmth and commitment of its members. Dancers from the Rot-Weißen and Gold-Blauen Funken also performed at the festival, adding an extra layer of excitement to the proceedings.
Various games, sales, and information booths collected funds for the children's aid action "Herzenssache". The day's events were thanked by the organizers, including all participants, helpers, and visitors. The community's spirit was once again demonstrated, reinforcing Saarwellingen's reputation as a lovable community.
Extensive photo galleries of the festival can be found on the Facebook pages of Gemeinde Saarwellingen and SR, as well as in the ARD Mediathek, allowing the day's festivities to be relived by all. Despite the initial rain, it was clear that the community spirit of Saarwellingen shone brightly on this special day.
