Last week in Thailand, now again in the Lahr Ratsaal: Senja Dewes, head of the Office for Social Affairs, Education and Sport, was surprised after her return from the Badminton World Cup by the top management.
With her double partner Kerstin Wagner, she failed in the age group Women 35 only in the round of 16 at the local hero, Wasamon Chokuthaikul and Suttapapa Ekworrathies.
“A sensational ninth place is worth all honors. We are very proud as a city administration,” said Markus Ibert in a short laudation. He was pleased that the sentence “I come from Lahr” would be carried out into the world.
Pralines as a gift
In recognition, the “badminton queen” received a letter decorated with spring balls from the department and a chalice, so Ibert was sure, “her favorite chocolates from the café burger”.
