On Thursday evening after 7 pm, the decision was finally made: The municipal council in Söchau voted in favor of the merger - unanimously, in fact.
The Fürstenfeld municipal council also voted in favor of the merger with a majority. "There was only one local councillor we couldn't convince," says Mayor Franz Jost.
We are looking forward to a shared future.

Now the process of the merger begins: the province of Styria has to examine the endeavor. As of December 31, the two municipalities will no longer exist; on January 1, 2025, the new Fürstenfeld will be created with over 10,000 inhabitants. Local council elections are scheduled to take place in March. Until then, a commissioner is in charge of official business.
