Breitenbrunn Bids Farewell to Mayor Johann Lanzhammer

In the picturesque market town of Breitenbrunn, a significant change is on the horizon. After a successful tenure, Johann Lanzhammer (FW) has announced he will not seek re-election as mayor next year.

The term of Lanzhammer as mayor will conclude in the coming year, marking the end of an era for Breitenbrunn. One of the most notable events that will take place during this time is the Tillyfest, a key part of the town's cultural heritage.

The Tillyfest, a historical event of great significance in Breitenbrunn, will occur on September 14. This year's event will be particularly special as it will also mark the last time Lanzhammer exercises the office of Schultheiß.

The Schultheiß office, originating from Middle High German, signifies "the one who commands obligations." It has historical roots in Breitenbrunn and is a significant position in the town. Lanzhammer has been the Schultheiß since his election as mayor.

Following Lanzhammer's last service as Schultheiß on September 14, 2022, Matthias Schorr will take over the position. The upcoming municipal elections in Breitenbrunn will determine the new mayor after Lanzhammer steps down.

The Tillyfest, traditionally held in Breitenbrunn, will also serve as a farewell celebration for Lanzhammer. The town's residents are eager to honour his service and bid him a fond farewell during this historical event.

As the municipal election period nears its end, Breitenbrunn prepares for a new chapter. The town will remember Lanzhammer's contributions and look forward to the future under new leadership. The Tillyfest on September 14 promises to be a memorable occasion, marking the end of an era and the beginning of a new one in Breitenbrunn.
