In his welcoming address, District Administrator Dr. Haas highlighted two examples of the district's projects with the Protestant church district of Vaihingen an der Enz. The "EinKLINKen" project, which has now been running for eleven years at the clinics in the Ludwigsburg district and is in great demand, is a complete success. A total of around 50 volunteers offer support to patients who need help during or after their hospital stay. The second project he mentioned was the debt counseling service run by the Vaihingen deaconry district office, which has been steadily expanded with the help of the district administration and other partners.
The head of the district administration also emphasized the good cooperation in the district's youth welfare committee and as a cooperation partner of the district administration's social psychiatric service. "As a district, we greatly appreciate the voluntary work, as it complements our work in places where it is urgently needed," said District Administrator Haas. The head of the district administration wanted the churches to work in a social and theological way to combat the growing selfishness in our society. He took this opportunity to thank the Protestant and Catholic churches in the Ludwigsburg district and the Diakonie and Caritas organizations for their trusting cooperation in the various areas throughout his time in office. For the future, he wishes the new Vaihingen-Ditzingen deanery a successful merger and many committed parishioners of all generations who carry the values of the church into everyday life.
The Vaihingen an der Enz deanery is one of the oldest deaneries in the Evangelical Church of Württemberg. The current church district unites 20 parishes with around 30,000 members. The 51 members of the deanery's district synod meet twice a year in public sessions.
