Guben (h.) His intimate companion, Guben mayor Fred Mahro, concluded his funeral speech in front of the coffin on Monday in the Guben monastery church with the casual encouragement to hunt, which Peter Dreißig used at the end of almost every good conversation. He stood, covered with flowers, in the monastery church, which had been decorated for Christmas and filled to the galleries. Above all, fellow craftsmen, guild masters and board members, close friends, but also Brandenburg Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke, SPN district administrator Harald Altekrüger, his predecessor Dieter Friese, Lion friends and colleagues came to greet the family bakers.
The sermon and liturgy were in the hands of Pastor Meik Schmidt, who read Ecclesiastes 3:1-15.
The blessing and the playing of the organ were followed by secular speeches, before the president of the Central Association of German Crafts (ZDH), the Dresden master roofer Jörg Dittrich, who appreciated the deceased as a “fatherly friend and advisor “. He was followed by Michael Wippler, president of the Central Association of German Bakers’ Trades
More recently, Mayor Fred Mahro recalled events that recalled the determined part of Guben master baker Peter Dreißig, who was still working with ten employees at the time, at the beginning of the turnaround in Guben. Thousands, according to Mahrow, have since found work at the Thirty, “and to me cafés in three federal states are embassies of the city of Guben.” Like previous speakers, he bowed deeply.
The longtime president of the Cottbus Chamber of Trades in southern Brandenburg and most recently honorary president died on December 9 after a serious illness at the age of 70.
