Honorary events are held for deserving citizens of our city as well as, for example, for athletes who have represented Wolfsburg in an outstanding manner.

The city's highest distinction is the award of honorary citizenship. Honorary citizenship expires upon death.

Honorary citizenship was last awarded to Rolf Wolters on March 10, 2019. For over 40 years, he played a key role in shaping and developing the Wolfsburg shooting festival and made it an attraction for numerous guests from near and far. As a local politician, he was a member of Wolfsburg city council for 25 years and a member of Detmerode local council for 10 years. Rolf Wolters passed away on 07.09.2020.
