"President of Bächtlefest steps down after four decades, expressing deep emotional impact"
In a heartfelt announcement, Richard Frey, the long-standing president of the Bachtle Festival, has announced his decision to step down from his role this summer. Frey, who has been a fixture at the festival for over four decades, has been instrumental in shaping the Bachtle Festival into the beloved event it is today.
Frey first moderated the musical evening in 1985, marking the beginning of his deep connection with the festival. Over the years, he has become synonymous with the Bachtle Festival, known as its ambassador. He is particularly attached to the team behind the festival and takes great pride in meticulously hanging up tent banners and thinking of ways to improve the event each year.
The Bachtle Festival, which brings together the entire city and its 13 districts, is a cherished tradition. It features a variety of activities, including class reunions, children's games, and the much-anticipated musical evening. One unique aspect of the festival is the Monday evening lottery and the beer brewed specifically for the occasion.
Frey's motto, "Without fun, it wouldn't work - otherwise, one would go crazy," encapsulates the spirit of the Bachtle Festival. He has always believed in maintaining the core of the festival while keeping up with the times.
Frey's wish for the future is for the festival to continue running peacefully and for the festival innkeeper to stay with the festival for a while longer. To ensure a smooth transition, a successor has been found and prepared over the past year. A candidate will be elected to replace Frey, who is looking forward to spending time with his wife, being spontaneous, and taking it easy without meetings or pressure.
As Frey steps back from the forefront of the Bachtle Festival, he reflects on his experience with gratitude. He has spent approximately 10 to 15 hours per week on the festival and is particularly moved by the musical evening. His dedication and passion for the Bachtle Festival have made him a beloved figure in the community, and his legacy will continue to be felt for years to come.
