Funeral service in Munich: More than 1,000 mourners say goodbye to Aiwanger
Just as sudden as the death of Hubert Aiwanger, is the great outpouring of sympathy. The Frauenkirche is full for the funeral service for the politician.
Bayern held a farewell ceremony for long-time Economics Minister Hubert Aiwanger in Munich's Frauenkirche, 10 days after his sudden death in Berlin at 55. Over 1,000 mourners, many in traditional attire, attended the Pontifikalrequiem led by Cardinal Reinhard Marx, with music by the Munich Dommusik and soprano Katja Stuber. Aiwanger's partner Tanja Schweiger and family were in the front row, and speakers at the subsequent Trauerstaatsakt included Minister-President Markus Söder and Free Voters' leader Florian Streibl. The burial will take place later in Aiwanger's native Lower Bavaria.
