This year marks the 50th anniversary of Lilienfeld’s elevation to town status and will be celebrated all weekend. The highlight was the parade yesterday, Saturday, in which almost 500 participants presented institutions, schools, emergency organizations, clubs and businesses under the motto “We are Lilienfeld”. “Today, Lilienfeld is once again proving what makes Lower Austria what it is: our standing together, our solidarity and our looking out for one another,” said Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner, who celebrated the anniversary together with the people of Lilienfeld and the neighboring communities, numerous guests from politics, business, education, clubs and emergency organizations, and representatives from Lilienfeld’s twin towns Joetsu in Japan and Trebic in the Czech Republic.
Lower Austria is “the sum of 573 municipalities, each with different needs, characteristics and strengths, but also many similarities that make our state one of the most livable and loveable regions of all,” said the governor. The state has always developed Lower Austria “in cooperation with the municipalities” and Austria’s smallest district capital has “developed incredibly dynamically” since it was elevated to city status. Lilienfeld is now an administrative center, an economic center for many successful companies, a city with an active club life, a city for families, “when I think of the general renovation of the elementary school or the addition of a kindergarten,” said Mikl-Leitner. “Above all, Lilienfeld is a city that is proud of its tradition and history.” She particularly emphasized the good cooperation between Lilienfeld Abbey and the city municipality.
Mayor Manuel Aichberger also emphasized: “Working together is what holds us together to further develop our city, which offers a high quality of life and is embedded in a wonderful cultural landscape.” In Lilienfeld, people work together “with passion, commitment and on an equal footing with everyone” to make the city successful and a home.
As part of the anniversary celebrations, representatives from the areas of emergency services and emergency organizations, volunteers and clubs, schools and culture, as well as businesses, answered in interviews what makes Lilienfeld a particularly attractive and livable municipality. Renate Kohl, Managing Director of Mazda Schrittwieser, spoke of a good infrastructure for businesses, police officer Bernd Ebner spoke of the professional and at the same time familial cooperation between emergency services and emergency services, the director of the music school Rudolf Ringer spoke of the wide range of offers in the areas of education, art and culture, and the chairwoman of the sports union Andrea Brader spoke of the active club life that brings people of all ages together.
