Gronau’s most famous son, rock musician Udo Lindenberg makes no secret of his love for his home town, because “a colourful world is lived here”. He comes to Gronau regularly, he stands larger than life in bronze at a roundabout and he is closely associated with the inhabitants of the town. He proves this again and again through sponsorships and support of various projects. In 2016, he was made an honorary citizen of the city.
