The Farewell of Rolf Geiger and Lothar Doll from the Kinzigtal Leadership Group
During the first official evening of the Kinzigtal Leadership Group this year, Rolf Geiger and Lothar Doll were bid farewell. Andreas Wöhrle from Haslach will now serve as the deputy leader of the Kinzigtal Leadership Group, supporting Christian Keller from the Wolfach Fire Department.
“In his farewell, Rolf Geiger, who reached the retirement age, invited the comrades of the Kinzigtal Leadership Group to a meal at the Haslach fire station following the evening duty. He reflected on the beginnings of the Leadership Group in 2005 and its first test during the severe storm of 2006 in Hofstetten and Haslach. Geiger emphasized the importance of maintaining a balanced relationship between service and comradeship throughout the almost twenty years. He also highlighted the excellent cooperation with Christian Keller as the leader of the Leadership Group. Geiger expressed his gratitude to the command of the Haslach Fire Department and all the comrades of the Leadership Group for their support. With a wink, Geiger added that he won’t be completely gone and will continue to participate in fraternal events.”
“For Christian Keller, the evening was ‘memorable.’ In his reflection, he also discussed the origins of the Kinzigtal Leadership Group, which was established to cover the upper Kinzigtal region as one of several Leadership Groups in the Ortenau district. Keller thanked his long-time deputy for their excellent collaboration.”
Similarly, Lothar Doll from Nordrach was one of the founding members of the Kinzigtal Leadership Group. He had been responsible for the comradeship fund for many years. He also assured that he would continue to participate in fraternal events.
