Municipal award; honored by the municipality

  • Brief description

    The municipalities can honor deserving citizens with their own awards.

  • Description

    The awarding of honorary citizenship by the municipal council is the municipality's highest honor.

    Former mayors can be awarded the honorary title of "former mayor" or "former mayor".

    Other options for honoring deserving citizens may include: honorary gifts, honorary medals, honorary rings and the like.

    However, any citizen can also propose a deserving citizen award to the municipality (merits and time spent with the municipality must be presented). Those who nominate themselves cannot be considered.
