The administration of the VG Konz wishes you a Merry Christmas

A wintry starry sky, a landscape with a festively decorated Christmas tree, houses, sleighs and reindeer - this atmospheric motif adorns the Christmas card of the mayor of the Konz collective municipality, Joachim Weber, this year. The picture was painted by third-grader Amy-Marie Pastuschka from the Don Bosco School in Wiltingen. "With this motif I would like to wish all citizens a happy holiday season," said Mayor Weber.


The picture is part of a competition that the Konzer-Doktor Citizens' Foundation has been organizing for many years. Every year, children from a different school paint creative Christmas pictures. The schoolmates then decide for themselves which pictures the mayor should receive. The mayor then selects the final motif for his card.

"It is always a joy to see these great pictures from the children in the run-up to Christmas," said Joachim Weber during his visit to the Don Bosco School. The mayor took the opportunity to personally thank the young artists and presented them with a gift for the class fund.

The mayor later visited some of the facilities that are in operation over the holidays. While many of us can enjoy the Christmas season with our families, employees in the fire service, rescue services, medical professions and public transport, for example, do important work. "We would like to thank all employees in these areas for their commitment. They make an important and indispensable contribution to our society every day, at any time of day, and even on Christmas Day," said Joachim Weber, as he and the full-time deputy Guido Wacht handed out Christmas bags with small gifts to employees at the local branch of the German Red Cross and the police, among others.

The Konz municipality wishes all citizens a peaceful and contemplative Christmas season!
