Bonn --
Baerbel Dieckmann said goodbye and thank you after 15 years came as Mayor of the City of Bonn - and nearly 1,500 guests to celebrate with her.
Well, not quite final yet: Officially Dieckmann still sitting until 20 October in the executive chair of the Bonner Hall.
The Obiene "as many call it Bonn, welcomed many guests throughout unprotokollarisch directly at the entrance. It has been fondled, gebützt and she had a lot to shake many hands. The celebration itself: colorful, with music and comedy, with many of the OB companion.
Simply touching was the performance of city dean Monsignor Wilfried Schumacher and Superintendent Eckart Wüster. A profound musical review of Dieckmann's tenure.
Nice idea: On a screen behind the lectern was a slide show from the 15 years' passing of our OB Revue: Dieckmann at meetings with various political-celebrities, when Bönnsch Carnival or when shopping at the market.
Bärbel Dieckmann in her farewell speech: "I wish this city and its people that Bonn is a city in which people - in allusion to a saying of the former president and honorary citizen of the city of Bonn Johannes Rau - Have you had respect one another and in good in less good times. "
