Personalities

Günter Schottenhammer has been a posthumous honorary citizen of the Ried community since September 2006 . Due to his selfless sacrifice, the district of Zillenberg escaped a catastrophe on November 26, 1964. Schottenhammer crashed with his Bundeswehr machine RF-84F Thunderflash near the place. Had he left the machine in an ejector seat, it would probably have fallen into place. He left behind his wife and a nine-day-old child.
