A warm thank-you also to the donators of the cakes and a not less warm thank-you to the Protestant parish for helping us to use its premises. Dr. Helmut Eisele, September 30th, 2003.



		Private donations let "donation barometer" climb! Recently the vicarage received two private donations with 500,- € and 1000,- € respectively in favor of the organ restoration. We quite cordially thank them even if the donators do not want to be called by name! The receipt of these donations, just right after the summer vacation, spurs on the active members of our Society for the Promotion of the historical Eberhard Friedrich Walcker Organ to speed up the organ project further with full strength.

		Organ champagne reception after the 150 / 850 years anniversary concert. Our gratitude is expressed here to those nice ladies from our parish who has organized and executed the standing reception after our big anniversary concert of the church choir with orchestra and soloists on the churchyard.

Ökumenischer Gottesdienst in der katholischen Kirche Petrus und Paulus Der Kirchenchor von St. Petrus und Paulus und der Chor der Evangelischen Christuskirche. Im Hintergrund das Prospekt der E.F. Walcker-Orgel von 1854. The ceremony and with that the celebration year started on Sunday, January 12th, 2003 with an ecumenical service in the Roman Catholic church Peter and Paulus. The value of the church in our civil municipality is herewith documented and expressed.

Parallel to the celebration year of the civil municipality, the church municipality also celebrates 150 years parish St. Peter and Paul Neuhausen/Filder starting with the benediction of our "Filder Cathedral" exactly 150 years ago.

The ceremony formed the prelude to the anniversary year in which 24 events will take place in total.

Blick in die Egelsee-Festhalle The ceremony was framed by a historical exhibition in the rooms of the Egelsee festival and sports hall and playing a part of the Spielmannszug of the Bürgergarde (historical citizen guard), the brass band and the music organization Musikschule Neuhausen e.V.. Mr Wolfgang Probst, excellent singer at the Stuttgart State Opera and Mrs Seitz, piano, could be won for the musical part of the celebration. The program was rounded off by some pieces of music of the Musikschule Neuhausen e.V. (school of music Neuhausen registered association).

For all events during the jubilee year the Society for the Promotion of the historical Eberhard Friedrich Walcker Organ wishes a good course and for all female citizens and citizens of the municipality of Neuhausen to experience joy of public spirit.

The civil municipality of Neuhausen auf den Fildern supports the organ project by a generous donation of € 51,129. Therefore at this place's once again a quite warm thank-you!
