from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Walter Scharwies (born September 27, 1948 in Alzenau ) is a German local politician and local researcher . He is the former mayor and honorary citizen of the Lower Franconian city of Alzenau in the district of Aschaffenburg and the author of regional history publications.

Life

From 1987 to 1999 he headed the State Foundation Office Aschaffenburg in the rank of government director, which administers several historical foundations, among others from the Electoral Mainz era of the Lower Main. From 1990 to 1999 he held the honorary position of the second mayor of Alzenau.

From 1999 to 2011 Walter Scharwies was first mayor of his hometown Alzenau, which made him an honorary citizen in 2011. During his tenure, Alzenau was awarded the contract to hold the Bavarian Garden Show “Nature in the City” in 2015. In addition, the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft decided to settle in Alzenau (Fraunhofer IWKS project group for recycling and resource strategy). The Free State of Bavaria honored Scharwies in September 2012 with the municipal medal of merit in bronze.

Scharwies has been dealing with regional history since the 1970s and published around 200 articles. He is the author and co-author of several books. In 2015 he published the book “Wine Stories from Alzenau”. Here the author presents the connections between the people and one of the most original cultural assets at the transition from the western Spessart to the plains of the Rhine and Main. One focus of his research is the noble families who lived at Wasserlos Castle. These include Prince Ludwig Eugen von Württemberg , Katharina Elisabeth Marquise du Chasteler and Ludovica (Lulu) Freifrau von des Bordes , née Brentano von La Roche.

He has been a member of the Aschaffenburg-Alzenau Lions Club since 1985 . There he was secretary in 1987/1988, vice-president in 1992/1993 and president in 1993/1994.
