Award for Dr. Haase: Order of Merit for Volunteering in Brandenburg!

Luckenwalde, Deutschland - On June 16, 2025, Dr. Margitta-Sabine Haase awarded the Order of Merit of the State of Brandenburg in a solemn ceremony in the Potsdam State Chancellery. Prime Minister Dr. Dietmar Woidke honored the committed citizen for her outstanding achievements in the voluntary area in Brandenburg, as the city of Luckenwalde reports on her website. This award is a sign of appreciation for people who are stuck in the service of the state of the country.

Mayor Elisabeth Herzog-von der Heide had Dr. Haase proposed, which underlines the value of her work. The chairwoman of the Jakobikirche support association e. V. has fully committed to saving the Jakobikirche in Luckenwalde in advance in advance. This impressive church, which with its 72 -meter -high tower is the largest of three Protestant churches in the city, is a true jewel, shaped by numerous artistically valuable lead -glazed windows from the 19th century.

volunteer engagement in Luckenwalde

dr. Haase founded the support association on November 27, 2006 to ensure the renovation and preservation of the Jakobikirche. Under their leadership, the association grew to proud 50 members who work together in a unique alliance of believing Christians and atheistic local patriots. This special community is made by Dr. Haase encouraged by team spirit and togetherness and has developed to become experts in various areas such as church history, craft and archiving.

In recent years, Dr. Haase organized numerous events with well -known artists in the Jakobikirche and raised funding of several hundred thousand euros for the necessary renovation measures. The work carried out includes the renewal of the gallery, the installation of heating and the renovation of the sacristy, which are now completed. The club members are particularly proud that the renovation of the five large window groups was completed in time for the 125th anniversary of the church in 2019.

recognition for outstanding services

dr. Haase's commitment is not only limited to the club. Since 2003 she has been voted the Luckenwalde city council four times, where her business expertise is estimated. In addition, she is the chairman of the supervisory board of the Luckenwalde municipal business works and a member of the Finance Committee, which further underlines its active contribution to municipal development.

This award is another highlight of its already desired career, which also includes numerous earlier honors, such as the monument award of the district of Teltow-Fläming in 2009 and the certificate of recognition for the 2014 association for civic engagement. All of this clearly shows how important volunteer work is for social cohesion, something that Prime Minister Woidke impressively expressed with his honor. The commitment of Dr. Haase is seen as an inspiration that should also motivate others to campaign for their community.

We congratulate Dr. Margitta-Sabine Haase for this well-deserved award and thank her for her tireless commitment to the city of Luckenwalde and the preservation of her cultural treasures.
