Farewell to Pastor Bürkle: A moving end in Atzenweiler!

Farewell to Pastor Bürkle: A moving end in Atzenweiler!

Pastor Manfred Bürkle and his wife Lib Briscoe, who worked as a choir director, retire. This decision marks the end of the parish office in Atzenweiler, since the municipality is merged into a merged parish of Atzenweiler-Vogt. On Sunday, May 11th, the farewell service will take place in the Evangelical Church atzenweiler at 10 a.m.

Manfred Bürkle took over the parish office in Atzenweiler in September 2005 after moving from Leonberg to Oberschwaben. During his time in the community, he repeatedly commented on racist incidents that had touched him and his family since then when he had met his wife in Tübingen. In Atzenweiler, too, the couple felt appreciation for its artistic and musical contributions, such as LIBS commitment as head of the Ravensburg choir "Voice Affair" and her plans to realize a musical about the biblical ruth.

a colorful farewell

During his term in office, Bürkle created an art-buying herd in the parish garden, which was also considered in the media, when a rainbow sheep was damaged and ultimately destroyed. After moving near Augsburg, where you will live with your son Alexander, Bürkle plans to devote more psychological advice.

With the departure of Bürkle, the parish office Atzenweiler is canceled. The rectory is to be sold while the church is preserved as a sermon. Lib Briscoe, which gave singing lessons and produced musicals, already has plans for creative projects that she would like to implement after the move. Your artistic presence will certainly be missing in the region.

farewell concerts and appointments

In addition to the farewell service, concerts of the "ecumenical choir of green cabbage" are also planned. These take place on the following dates:

• Saturday, June 28, 7.30 p.m., Evangelical Church atzenweiler
• Sunday, June 29, 6 p.m., St. Anna in Vogt
• Sunday, July 6th, 5pm, Comboni Missionshaus in Mellatz
