There was recently a ceremonial event in Nittenau at which Karlheinz Lang was sworn in as the new field juror. This ceremony took place in the town hall and was led by First Mayor Benjamin Boml. Lang succeeds Konrad Fendl and Johann Seebauer, both of whom worked in this voluntary position for decades.

Honoring long-time volunteers

The role of field jury is one of the oldest municipal honorary positions in Germany. Mayor Boml praised the achievements of Fendl and Seebauer, who have been committed to the community over many years. Fendl, who had been in office since 1996, and Seebauer, who had worked since 1986, were praised for their reliability and expertise. Boml emphasized that they always acted as “guardians of the borders” and actively supported the community and the surveying authorities.

The event was not only an honor, but also an opportunity to underline the importance of the office. “This mandate is a very special recognition and deserves the highest respect,” said Boml. The two outgoing field jurors were farewelled with warm words and thanks for their tireless efforts.

With the swearing in of Karlheinz Lang, a 73-year-old from Kaspeltshub, the field jury team in Nittenau is now supported by four members. Lang was officially inaugurated into his new position on the same day and received congratulations from his new colleagues. Helmuth Heimerl was elected as the new chairman, which ensures continuity and stability in the group.

Digitalization has brought about many changes in recent years, but the tasks of the field jury remain unchanged. “A boundary stone cannot be moved digitally, but only with a lot of force,” explained Boml. This illustrates how important the physical presence and commitment of the field jury are even in modern times.

Following the swearing-in, training was held for Lang to prepare him for his new tasks. The other field jurors also received a refresher on legal information relevant to their work. Experts such as Christian Schmitz and Robert Feldbauer provided information about the various tasks and challenges associated with the office.
