municipality mergers may also go easy on the stage. "This is so harmonious expired, that it's scary all right," said the Rev. David Rudat Saarner. And his Broicher colleague Gerald Hillebrand the community meetings accounted for on the Lindenhof and the Wilhelminenstraße were discussed where on Sunday the merger plans, saying: ". There were some critical inquiries, but no contradiction" Against this background, short of the two presbyteries on Sunday evening to the action and adopted the merger. The merger left the town clock is no accident. The first interviews were conducted a decade ago. Since the common church music exists left of the Ruhr, where the community is involved Speldorf. These discussions have been intensified as 2006, two pastors were to retire.
"We of course have the Speldorf asked and they would have liked to have had it, but there is seen still do not have to act and has told us. Do you do time," said Pastor Hillebrand, why the links Ruhr community Speldorf not first with the Fusion fishing boat. Broich Saarn and are therefore willing to merge, because both communities lose 100 a year for church members, they die or quit the church aus.Warum at the community meetings suggested no resistance to the merger, is obvious. Basically, almost anything can go on as before.
"We have a healthy budget and are not a poor devil," said Hillebrand. Broicher the municipal budget is worth one million euros and the amount of Saarn to 1.5 million euros. Therefore, in Broich and Saarn can all churches, community centers and day care centers will receive and all employees will keep their jobs. In the division of parishes and pastoral duties, members of the parish priest teams even more than before synergies . Use Such was the pastor Broicher Hillebrand already as a pastor for about 400 church members in the North German district Saarn responsible Schleswiger around the street.

There is now paying out due to the demographic changes that the community Broich in 2005 the church was built in 1965 on the abandoned road and Calvin had demolished. "We operate on an equal footing. We have a better look at the overall community and save us a lot of meetings and by-laws," said Hillebrand looking forward to the cooperation in the new community, from August until the election of the presbytery in Spring is headed in 2012 by a joint management committee represented. Another advantage of fusion provides Hillebrands colleague Rudat fact "that our volunteers in the new community have called time must not, how would we do that, if each municipality would continue to work on their own."
