FÜRTH – (ai). Friedel Rau, Chairman of the State Seniors’ Representation in Hesse since 2013, died on Tuesday after a serious illness at the age of 74. The community of Fürth loses a citizen who has volunteered in a variety of ways. He was a member of the CDU parliamentary group in the municipal council, member of the municipal board and member of the fire service associations in Fürth and in the districts. He chaired the Liederkranz singing association and was involved in the association for the support of the disabled and in the association that maintains the partnership with Zabrani in Romania. “He was always ready to take on responsibility,” said former Mayor Gottfried Schneider. Rau knocked on the door of Schneider’s office when the family came to Fürth in the early 1990s. The move date was November 17, 1992, on Friedel Rau’s 47th birthday.

Because of his job, he was initially unable to settle down properly. He was born in 1945 in Großauheim near Hanau. He learned the profession of geriatric nurse. In the homes in Nieder-Ramstadt he met his wife Renate. Rau continued to train so that he could work as a home manager – including in Mainz. For several years, his job took him to the Göttingen area. During this time the family only came together on weekends. When he came to the nursing school in Bensheim as an instructor and his wife worked in the district administration, Fürth chose his place of residence. In retirement, Rau founded the senior citizens’ representative in Fürth, and he worked on the senior advisory board of the Bergstrasse district. Through this office he became the chairman of the national association. With wife Renate, the two adult children who live in the Groß-Gerau district mourn.
