Hansi Gärtner, the Weimar Original, Honored with the Order of Merit

In the heart of Germany lies the city of Weimar, a place where the ordinary meets the extraordinary. Among its residents, there are individuals known as the Weimar Originals, one of whom is Hansi Gärtner.

Born and raised in Weimar, Gärtner is a figure of awe and respect, much like a proverbial colorful dog that everyone recognizes and greets, even those who only know him superficially.

Gärtner's musical journey began half a century ago when he founded the Pioneer Brass Orchestra, which later evolved into the Youth Brass and Show Orchestra. Today, under his leadership, the orchestra remains a living place of community, inspiration, and cohesion.

Gärtner's lifelong passion and unparalleled commitment to musical education have shaped generations. His concept of musical education has been compared to a universal language that has brought music closer to many young people over decades.

Recently, Gärtner was honored with the Order of Merit, a prestigious award in Germany, for his musical and pedagogical life's work. The laudation highlighted the friendships, experiences, and values he has conveyed through his work.

The presentation of the Order of Merit was made by Thuringia's Minister President Mario Voigt (CDU) in the Erfurt Kaisersaal. Gärtner, now 82 years old and residing in Bad Berka, continues to lead and conduct his orchestras with the same passion and dedication that has made him a Weimar Original.

For those seeking a deeper understanding of Gärtner's contribution to the Weimar Youth Brass and Show Orchestra, local German music education resources, institutional publications, or archives related to the orchestra might provide the nuanced information you are seeking.

The Weimar Newsletter, a significant source of information about the city, provides comprehensive coverage of Weimar's politics, economy, sports, culture, and social life.
