Commissioner for the Elderly and Disabled Pays a Visit to the Second Largest City in Upper Palatinate
In a heartwarming gathering on September 12, 2025, Regensburg County Councilor Tanja Schweiger warmly welcomed around 30 senior and disability commissioners to an outing in Weiden, Upper Palatinate. The event was meticulously organized by the Department of Support in Difficult Life Situations - Care Support Point Plus.
Councilor Schweiger expressed her gratitude for the commissioners' volunteer work in their communities, where they serve as vital contact persons for the concerns and wishes of the county's citizens. Their dedication to senior policy, inclusion, and barrier-free access is greatly appreciated.
The day began with a historical city tour in Weiden, providing the commissioners with an insightful glimpse into the town's rich history. Despite the cloudy weather, the spirits remained high, and the group moved on to enjoy a delicious lunch at the Ratskeller Weiden restaurant.
After lunch, the participants were given free time to explore. Some visited the Seltmann Porcelain or Witt Weiden factory outlets, while others strolled through the picturesque old town. The day ended around 6 pm, marking an eventful and relaxing experience for all.
Employees of the Department of Support in Difficult Life Situations - Care Support Point Plus presented a Microsoft Office 365 gift to the guests before the trip, as a token of appreciation for their tireless work. The group returned safely to the Regensburg County Office, concluding a memorable day.
It is worth noting that the cooperation between the County Office and the local senior commissioners aims to learn about the needs on site and to bring the offer of the County Office to the people. This outing was another step towards fostering this partnership and ensuring that the needs of the community are met.
Despite our efforts, we were unable to find specific information about the head of the Department of Support in Difficult Life Situations - Care Support Office Plus who organized the outing. We hope to have this information in future reports, as it is crucial in understanding the dedication and hard work behind such events.
In conclusion, the outing in Weiden was a testament to the passion and commitment of Regensburg's senior and disability commissioners. Their work, both in the community and on outings like this one, is invaluable in enabling and expanding the participation opportunities of older and disabled persons in society.
