Sulzbach-Rosenberg awards Peter Zahn with Citizen Medal

Peter Zahn has been awarded the Citizen Medal of the city of Sulzbach-Rosenberg for his long-standing commitment to environmental and nature conservation. The award was presented by First Mayor Stefan Frank during a city council session.

Zahn served as the city's environmental protection officer from 1988 to 2026, with a brief interruption during his tenure as a city council member. His work included the renaturation of the Erlbach, the 1990 city biotope mapping, the implementation of tree protection ordinances, the development of a cycling path concept, and the remediation of landfills.

Dr. Hubert Weiger, honorary chairman of Bund Naturschutz, delivered a laudatory speech praising Zahn's contributions to nature conservation both within the city and beyond its borders.
