Neuer Sulzbacher Stadtpfarrer Herbert Mader im Interview: "Ich bin nicht die Kopie meines Vorgängers"

Seit acht Wochen ist Herbert Mader neuer Pfarrer in St. Marien in Sulzbach. Im ersten Teil unseres Interviews spricht der 53-Jährige über Kritik an seinem Vorgänger Walter Hellauer, immer weniger Gläubige – und sein Lieblingsessen.

Beim Besuch in seiner Wohnung präsentiert sich Pfarrer Herbert Mader als lockerer und humorvoller Typ. In seiner neuen Pfarrgemeinde in Sulzbach kommt das gut an – viele Gläubigen empfinden seine Art als erfrischend.
