REHAU location Werk Viechtach 05, DeutschlandMotto “Just be yourself and seize the day”

“Lower Bavaria has become my home. My family and work, the focal points of my life, are here. I didn’t plan it that way, it just happened. I was 19 years old, had just completed my training in General Business administration, when Rehau offered me a job in Viechtach, 200 kilometers away. I left upper Franconia on the spur of the moment. That was 16 years ago. Now, I’m 35, a mother of two sons, aged 7 and 9, happily married, and running a dairy farm, 750 meters above sea level, in himmelwies, with my husband and in-laws. It sounds idyllic, but it’s a lot of work. We have 200 animals on the farm, including 65 dairy cows, which need to be milked twice a day. add to this, the offspring – bulls and just over 80 calves a year, which I bring into the world with my own two hands. I really enjoy the work on the farm.
