Main Tauber district. The former first state official of the Main-Tauber district, Jörg Hasenbusch, died on Monday, May 15, at the age of 80, as has only just become known.

District Administrator Christoph Schauder held the deceased in high esteem as a person to talk to and paid tribute to his work, with which he had made a significant contribution to shaping the Main-Tauber district. “I came to the Main-Tauber district on August 1st, 2019 as the first state civil servant and had my first encounter with Jörg Hasenbusch on August 4th. This was followed by countless encounters and discussions that I will miss very much.” Schauder recalls that Jörg Hasenbusch could be particularly proud of what has been achieved in the areas of flood protection, water supply and sewage disposal, of pilot projects such as the model project for the maintenance of dry slopes and on the implementation of the administrative structure reform in 2005. As part of this, numerous previously independent lower special authorities were successfully integrated into the district office.
An important milestone was also the time after reunification as a development worker in Saxony, when it came to establishing the new administrative structures. The contacts made in the process led to the partnership with the district of Bautzen, which still exists today. District Administrator Schauder also paid special tribute to the handling of the flood disaster in 1984.
Much praised
more on the subject
Georg Denzer, district administrator of the Main-Tauber district from 1981 to 2005, once described his long-time deputy as “the best first state civil servant you could wish for”. And for Reinhard Frank, district administrator from 2005 to 2021, Jörg Hasenbusch had “the right amount of law-abiding and pragmatism, always oriented towards the well-being of the citizen”. As boss, Jörg Hasenbusch was motivating and devoted to people. In more than 40 years of service, he has set standards and rendered outstanding services to the district and its people. Hasenbusch is a “role model for our society”.
Goodbye to retirement
On April 10, 2008, his 65th birthday, Jörg Hasenbusch said goodbye to retirement in the Bernhardsaal of the Bronnbach Monastery in front of 200 guests with standing applause. In this context, the then authorized representative of the state of Baden-Württemberg at the federal level and today’s vice-president of the state parliament, Professor Dr. Wolfgang Reinhart MdL, Jörg Hasenbusch as “the most important ambassador between the state government and the district”. Jörg Hasenbusch was “the personified early warning system for the district”. “If there were problems, you could be sure that Jörg Hasenbusch would take them up and inform the state government,” said Reinhart.
The Mayor of Grünsfeld at the time, Alfred Beetz, also praised Jörg Hasenbusch’s work on the occasion of the farewell: “The local authorities could rely on the fact that not only was it announced and promised, and Jörg Hasenbusch never carried regulations like a monstrance in front of him, but looking for solutions.”
Born in Pomerania
Jörg Hasenbusch was born in Bublitz (Pomerania) in 1943, had to flee his homeland with his mother in 1945 and spent his childhood in the Lüneburg Heath, Kiel and Düsseldorf. Hasenbusch graduated from high school in Düsseldorf and first studied philosophy and German in Tübingen, then law in Würzburg, Geneva and Freiburg. After the second state examination, the fully qualified lawyer worked as a government assessor at the Esslingen district office from 1973, where he headed the Nürtingen branch. From 1975 to 1977, Hasenbusch was the personal assistant to the district president of Stuttgart and the authority’s press officer. His next professional station was the Ministry for Labour, Health, Family and Social Order in Stuttgart, where Hasenbusch coordinated, among other things, the “Family Campaign”, which was intended to sensitize the population to family issues.
Transfer to the district office
In 1981 he moved to the district office of the Main-Tauber district. Here Hasenbusch, as the first state official, was not only the permanent general deputy of the district administrator, but also responsible for the majority of the state area, which, in addition to the municipal tasks, belongs to the district office. Most recently, Hasenbusch headed the “Environment and Technology” department, which had grown considerably after the administrative structure reform at the beginning of 2005. In 2008, these included the building authority, the environmental protection authority, the agricultural authority, the forestry authority, the surveying and land consolidation authority and the veterinary authority with a total of around 240 employees.

Jörg Hasenbusch found his home in Tauberfranken and lived with his wife in Königheim. His volunteer work was also remarkable.

During this time, the number of members increased, the stadium and other sports facilities were renovated and the new sports hall was built on the Wört. In 2011, Jörg Hasenbusch was elected chairman of the “Lebenshilfe for people with disabilities in the Main-Tauber district”.

Under his chairmanship, the advisory activities of the association increased enormously. The outbuilding of the Irma-Volkert-Haus in Heckfeld was converted into a sports and meeting center. He was only recently made an honorary member of the Lebenshilfe.
In addition, Jörg Hasenbusch supported the Jeunesses Musicales Deutschland (JMD) with the Weikersheim Castle Music Academy and accompanied the district youth orchestra Main-Tauber in cooperation with the JMD.
