Anke Rehlinger's excursion to "Fun Holidays Dengmert" in Oberwürzbach: experiencing the great outdoors, savoring pizza, and animal interactions
The city of St. Ingbert, Germany, is set to host a community-organized summer vacation program titled "Fun Ferien Dengmert" from July 1, 2023, to August 17, 2025. This initiative offers a diverse range of activities for children and young people during their summer break, supported by 21 local clubs and organizations[1][2][4][5].
The program is designed to be a colorful and varied summer offering, enriching the vacation time of young participants in the St. Ingbert area. It includes nature experiences, culinary activities such as pizza making, encounters with animals, and creative workshops. The activities cater to a wide range of interests, with options ranging from sports to insights into the culture of the Samurai[1].
Minister President Anke Rehlinger visited the program on-site at the Farrenberg in Oberwürzbach. Upon her arrival, she was warmly welcomed by the Obst- und Garten Association 2018 e. V., which maintains a lovingly cared-for orchard[3]. The children led her on a tour, showing her various insects they had caught with an insect cup, colorful flowers, grasshoppers, and even a wasp spider[6]. After everyone had examined the wasp spider, they let it go free.
During the tour, Minister President Anke Rehlinger also had the opportunity to see herb beds, a wild bee island, and the "Beetle Larva Castle," a structure built last year by volunteers with over 200 meters of dead wood[7]. This year's activities include a donkey hike, the construction of insect hotels, and the creation of a wild bee bed.
The Mayor of St. Ingbert, Dunja Sauer, highlighted the importance of the orchard for the community, stating it is another gem in Oberwürzbach. Markus Schmitt, deputy mayor of St. Ingbert, praised the commitment of the associations involved in the program. He expressed his gratitude for the summer vacation program, stating it demonstrates the vitality of volunteer work in the region and the amount of dedication associations put into youth work[8].
Anke Rehlinger was presented with a gift basket filled with homemade jams, fruit juices, beeswax products, and a knitted "mule," the mascot of Oberwürzbach, to mark her patronage of this year's program[9]. Families can find out about all the activities and register their children at www.st-ingbert.feripro.de.
