District Administrator Will acknowledges commitment and successes – Ten German championship titles go to breeding clubs in the region
Small animal and poultry breeding has a firm place in the Groß-Gerau district – this was once again demonstrated at the traditional awards ceremony in the district administration office: 26 adults, four young people, and six breeding associations were honored for their outstanding achievements in 2024. Their successes included ten German championship titles , numerous state victories, and special contributions in voluntary work.
District Administrator Thomas Will praised the breeders' achievements: "Every success is the result of hard work, meticulous care, and a deep connection to the animals. With passion and expertise, you ensure that diversity and quality are preserved in small animal breeding." He was particularly pleased with the participation of young people: Four teenagers from Stockstadt and Leeheim were honored for their Hessian championship titles .
The ceremony took place for the 44th time Wilfried Sudheimer of the Trebur Small Animal Breeders Association received a special award for his decades of dedication . He has been active in breeding for over 60 years, organizing work parties, maintaining the clubhouse, and continuing to contribute actively to this day. Elke Landau from the Department of Culture, Sports, and Volunteer Services praised him as a "jack-of-all-trades in volunteer work."
Hagen Bohnwagner also praised the exceptionally high level of breeding work in the district in his welcoming address. He acknowledged the many unsung heroes in the clubs who make an important contribution behind the scenes – through meetings, organization, or the maintenance of club facilities.
In addition to certificates and recognition, the honorees also received small gifts: sports towels for adults and water bottles for children and teenagers . The event was supported by the district's savings bank foundation
