The 2025 Gemuetlichkeit Days King and Queen are Paul and Rori Eilenfeldt

Paul grew up in Jefferson and graduated from Jefferson High School in 1997. After high school, he joined the Air Force, which took him all over the world. It was during this time that he met Rori in Colorado Springs, CO. Rori, a military dependent, grew up moving frequently and lived all over the world. She traveled extensively throughout Europe, the Middle East and Asia, spending many years of her childhood overseas.

Paul and Rori are a dedicated couple who prioritize both their home lives and their community. The King serves as the Assistant Superintendent for the Jefferson County Highway Department and is a retired Air Force veteran. The Queen, an Army veteran, works as the Executive Assistant to the President and CEO at Jones Dairy Farm in Fort Atkinson.

The royal couple married in Jefferson, WI, at Immanuel United Methodist Church in 2001. After traveling across the country with the Air Force, they decided to make the King’s hometown, Jefferson, their permanent home in 2014. They have four princesses—three of whom have graduated from Jefferson High School, and one who currently attends Jefferson Middle School.

Family heritage plays a significant role in shaping their identity: the King's family has deep roots in Germany and Sweden, instilling in him values of hard work, perseverance, and a strong sense of community. The Queen's Welsh ancestry has passed down a rich tradition of resilience, pride, and a love for storytelling and culture. Together, they embrace and blend these cultural influences to shape their values, which center around family, service, and fostering community connections.

In addition to their already busy lives, the King and Queen are passionate about family and friends, home improvement projects, spending time outdoors on their pontoon, and traveling. They are actively involved in local events, particularly Gemuetlichkeit Days, where they share their enthusiasm for building connections and strengthening the community. Their unwavering dedication to service, family, and growth reflects a deep commitment to making Jefferson a better place for everyone.

The King and Queen would like to thank their picking crew; Corby and Bethany Stallman, Glenn and Amber Fleming, and Tony and Annie Wedl for their continued support. They are honored to represent Jefferson and the Gemuetlichkeit Days organization as the 2025 King and Queen.
