Gerhard Mansel then called the mayor of Wiehl, Ulrich Stücker, to the podium.

Mayor Stücker said that at first he could hardly believe that the two ministers had agreed to come. In his speech, he thanked the volunteers and spoke about urban development, among other things, and that it was his personal opinion that this also included an attractive infrastructure. In this context, he said, the combination of urban development support and infrastructure support is crucial - it is what makes rural areas attractive and worth living in.
