Pastor Werner Ewald retires after 35 years in Niederaula

Pastor Werner Ewald is retiring from his position in the market municipality of Niederaula after 35 years of service. Ewald, who began his tenure in 1991, expressed deep gratitude for the community and the many individuals he encountered during his time in the ministry.

Before entering theology, Ewald studied photography at the University of Fine Arts in Kassel and served in the military, where he later refused combat service on grounds of conscience. His transition to the clergy was inspired by a pastor whose sermons provided life, challenge, and encouragement.
