Through a message out of his vicinity we learned of the much too early death of our long-time member Wolfgang Rieger on October 1, 2024.
Wolfgang has been dancing square dance since 1991 and discovered his interest in calling in 1994. He has been working as a caller since 1996.
During his long time as a caller, Wolfgang called for a wide variety of clubs. For example, he called for the Highlanders, the Happy Sliders Ludwigsburg, the Tough Ones Filderstadt, the Dream Catchers Renningen and The Diggers Pforzheim. He not only called for the Stoke-Boat Promenaders Tübingen, but was also a founding member. Wolfgang's special focus was training. Here he was significantly involved in further training programs for dancers and callers.
Wolfgang’s death leaves a huge gap both as a person and as a caller.
Our thoughts are with his partner and his family.
