District Administrator Allgaier emphasized that Schmiedel had worked in almost all departments of the Schiller-vhs for 35 years, the last seven years as its director. "You introduced successful new formats, such as the health forum and the 'Marbacher Köpfe', and were a good boss who listened to and implemented the concerns of his employees. At the same time, as a mathematician, you always had the right eye for the numbers," said Allgaier, paying tribute to the outgoing head of Schiller-vhs.
Schmiedel's successor is Constanze Weis. The 54-year-old will take over the management of Schiller-vhs on July 1. She has been deputy director of Schiller-vhs since 2014, quality officer and responsible for the educational workshops as well as for the specialist areas of nature, environment, technology, business and consumer issues.
The district's Schiller-vhs has 34 employees. It offers around 3,400 events each year, which are attended by around 42,000 people in total.
