Colonel Günther Gutmann is Awarded Honorary Membership in the Traditionsverband
On June 28 2017 Colonel Günther Gutmann retired from his long-term position as chief of the Motorization Institute of the Army’s Logistics School (HLogS/KFW). During a retirement ceremony held that day at the Institute’s home at the Burstyn Barracks in Zwölfaxing east of Vienna, Col. Gutmann was awarded honorary membership in the Traditionsverband. Dr. Hermann Spörker, president of the Traditionsverband, especially cited the strong support that Col. Gutmann had provided to the Traditionsverband since its inception. “Many activities would not have been possible, had it not been for Col. Gutmann’s continuous support” said Spörker. “Many of our members have known him for a long time, over the years we have developed a deep friendship, and we are convinced that Col. Gutmann will continue to provide his vast experience.”
This is only the second honorary membership that has been awarded by the Traditionsverband, our first honorary member being Gen. i.R. Horst Pleiner, last General Inspector (Generaltruppeninspektor) of the Austrian Army.
