Citizens Tax Future: Cemetery design ensures heated debate!
Holzhausen, Deutschland - On July 3, 2025, a citizen dialogue with Mayor Jens Keucher took place in Sigmarswangen, with the main topic being wind power. But other important concerns were also addressed that move the citizens. This included the topics of cemetery design, the extinguishing water supply, the failures in street lighting and the reaction times of the building yard. These topics were discussed in an open discussion that offered the citizens the opportunity to talk directly to the municipal administration and to share their concerns.
A particularly explosive topic that repeatedly came up in the context of the citizens' dialogue is the design of the cemeteries. In many communities, including Riegel, it is a central place for grief, memory and encounter. The cultural and historical importance of the cemetery is often not adequately recognized, especially in times when many grave sites are cleared. This trend leads to incomplete grave fields, which raises legitimate questions about the future design. The municipality of Riegel emphasizes that the redesign of the Cemetery is a topic of great relevance and citizens are invited to bring their ideas and suggestions into dialogue. In addition to the topics already mentioned, the failures in street lighting and the reaction times of the building yard were also important. Citizens express concerns about security that arises from inadequate lighting in the evening. The responsible insured that efforts are made in order to better illuminate the affected areas and give the citizens a safe feeling. The dialogue with the population, both in Sigmarswangen and in Riegel, shows that many residents are ready to actively participate in the design of their community. It becomes clear that the desire for more citizen participation is also pronounced in other aspects of municipal life, for example with regard to the cemetery design and the associated traditions. The invitation to discuss with experts such as cemetery planner Joachim Ebinger in Riegel is a step in the right direction to meet the needs of citizens. changes and challenges
