Farewell announced for Wolfgang Böhmer in Wittenberg
Wolfgang Böhmer Bid Farewell in Memorial Service
Wolfgang Böhmer, the former Minister-President of Saxony-Anhalt, was bid farewell in a poignant memorial service held in the afternoon at the Schlosskirche in Wittenberg. The service was attended by several notable figures, including the current Minister-President of Saxony-Anhalt, Reiner Haseloff, and publisher Friede Springer.
The memorial service was a solemn occasion, marking the end of Böhmer's tenure as head of government in Saxony-Anhalt, a position he held from 2002 to 2011. Following the service, a reception was held at the old town hall.
Reiner Haseloff, who took over as Minister-President of Saxony-Anhalt in April 2011, succeeding Böhmer, was in attendance at the memorial service. Haseloff has since led the CDU to a strong election victory in 2021, shaping the policies of the federal state for over a decade.
Photographs of the memorial service were taken by MDR, capturing the emotional moments of the day. The service was a fitting tribute to Böhmer's contributions to Saxony-Anhalt and his dedication to public service.
Böhmer's farewell event in Wittenberg marked the end of an era in Saxony-Anhalt politics, and his legacy will continue to be remembered by those who knew him and those who were inspired by his leadership.
