Honorary City Citizenship Conferment to Werner Wild in Pforzheim
In a momentous ceremony held at the Reuchlinhaus today, Werner Wild, the former CEO and owner of Otto Wild KG, was bestowed the honour of Honorary Citizenship by Mayor Peter Boch of the city of Pforzheim. This recognition comes in acknowledgement of Wild's long-standing service to the city.
For decades, Werner Wild has been dedicated to the well-being of Pforzheim. His personal commitment as a patron of the arts has significantly shaped the cultural landscape of the city. Through his generous support, the city has acquired valuable cultural artifacts, including the Renaissance parrot cage for the Jewellery Museum and the city coat of arms on the west facade of the New Town Hall.
Mayor Boch praised Wild's cultural contributions, stating that they are more than just a personal passion, they are a contribution to the common good. The Mayor noted that without Wild, Pforzheim would not be what it is today.
The Werner Wild Foundation, established in 1999, has played a significant role in these acquisitions. The foundation supports cultural activities not only in Pforzheim but also in the Enz district and Lichtenau.
Werner Wild, humbled by the recognition, considers this award a confirmation of his life's work. He has been instrumental in shaping the cultural identity of Pforzheim, and his contributions are deeply appreciated by the city and its residents.
Despite the lack of current information on Wild's role in Pforzheim post-honorary citizenship, his impact on the city's cultural landscape remains undeniable. His legacy continues to inspire and enrich the city, making Pforzheim a vibrant hub of culture and art.
The Werner Wild Foundation's contributions extend beyond Pforzheim, enriching the cultural landscapes of the Enz district and Lichtenau as well. The foundation's support has been instrumental in the realisation of numerous cultural projects, making these regions cultural destinations in their own right.
In conclusion, Werner Wild's contributions to Pforzheim's cultural scene are immeasurable. His dedication, generosity, and passion for the arts have left an indelible mark on the city. As he continues to support cultural activities, we can look forward to a continued flourishing of Pforzheim's cultural landscape.
