Eitting – A man of action and clear words: Matthias chamber Bauer, Eittinger former mayor and honorary citizen, can celebrate today, on new year’s eve right: He completed 80. Years of age. and can tell a lot from a life full of voluntary work, without fear of responsibility.

Grew up with five brothers and sisters (“I’m in the middle of it”) in the district of Altötting, came to the school, the first great stroke of luck: On the mediation of the priest chamber, Bauer came to the apprentice home of the Salesian order. With 230 other he lived there, and today “has shaped me.” He had experienced what he was later to apply: “Challenge and support.” Chamber, Bauer was a high-voltage electrician, got a job with the AEG in the Assembly in Munich. There, he met his future wife, Mathilde Weig, who comes from the upper Palatinate,.

It’s the military service followed – in the start-up phase of the German armed forces. In 1961, married Matthias and Mathilde chamber of builders. Two years later, he had the most letter in the Hand, and was master of works in Finsing. “There’s a place was free. Others have not applied for, or have not had the most letter. That was a good jump.“ Until 1997, he was at the power plant, Finsing, always sought new challenges. “The substation in the case of Otten stations served by the integration of the nuclear power plants. It was quite a task.“

Early on he committed himself for others. Chamber, Bauer was elected to the works Council and its Chairman. As an employee representative, he sat in the General works Council of Bayernwerk – a formative experience, sat there on the shareholder side, however, people such as Franz-Josef Strauss.

chamber Bauer learned to negotiate, to talk in front of many people, a safe Occur. All skills he would have needed, as it went to the airport. “The us has been hell,” he recalled. Leonhard Zollner, the predecessor of Oscar Vincenti, was then mayor, and in 1972 he moved into the local representation. The flight noise Commission brought him to seminars to Hannover or Frankfurt. He didn’t want to hear only the FMG. “That is clear. The have their own interests.“ The commitment was subject to entertainment tax: “We have sat until midnight, and opinions be written.” Helpful in the polished language of the Vice-mayor and teacher, Otto Hobmaier. Zollner was also the chamber manufacturer negotiation experience began, as it went to the municipal reform of 1976.

Also in the parish Council chamber, Bauer was active from 1970 to present. Until 1998, he was its Chairman. Under Oskar Vincenti chamber, Bauer was the second mayor, in 1996, he replaced Vincenti, finally, to the municipal tip. “Against him I would not have entered. It was a decision: Either get out of the municipal Council or the mayor.“ As it is assumed, is known.

chamber Bauer raised the fact that he is choice-Eittinger, to the principle: “My big advantage was that I was always at ease.” He had nowhere to land, it would have been able to go. And so just gave two decisions in which he because of your own concern from the Ratstisch move away and not permitted to vote could: When it came time to purchase his own plot of land on the St.-Lantpert-road and an fearbet Amendment to the development plan in this area.

in Retrospect, there were, however, for him, a position which he must say: “That was not a nice time.” He was a youth juror. “Because it went to sexual offences. No, that was bad.“

But he was also an honorary judge at the administrative court. This in turn brought him experiences that he could implement in his mayor’s activities, for example in questions of construction law. Today the chamber of builders must have been smiling on an Episode, as the district office had set a Eittinger the construction: “I’m with the district administrator Xaver Bauer. And what has been said by the Builder? That have brought many of the stones high, and we didn’t want to wear down again.‘“ Since the Knee was quick to 50 centimeters high. “No, a stupid excuse I have never heard before,” remembers chamber of builders.

excuses of any kind needs him now, not even granddaughter, Theresa, who is studying physics, and the grandpa is clearly proud of. Son Wolfgang and daughter Christine are celebrating, when the family comes together today. (Klaus Kuhn)
