Voluntary commitment - be it in the political, cultural, social, economic or sporting field - shapes the social coexistence of a town and deserves the highest recognition. The city of Rastatt has various ways of recognizing this special commitment.
City badge of honor
The city of Rastatt awards the city badge of honor in gold and silver to people who have rendered outstanding civic services to the city of Rastatt. The badge of honor is awarded in gold for 25 years of service and in silver for 10 years of service.
Volunteer reception of the city of Rastatt
Whether in cultural, sporting, social or green areas: Rastatt thrives on the commitment of its citizens. To mark International Volunteer Day, the city has been organizing the Volunteer Reception since 2024. On this evening, the focus is on all those who make an indispensable contribution to the community and thus to the city itself on a daily basis.
In addition to dedicated individuals from the fields of sport, culture, social affairs and green spaces, the city of Rastatt also honors the "Young Volunteer" and the "Initiative of the Year".
The Volunteer Reception is always held around International Volunteer Day on December 5.
