Lennart Christ new CDU district chairman: A new beginning for Mannheim!

A new chapter for the CDU Mannheim: At the last district party conference, Lennart Christ was elected as the new district chairman with an impressive result of 89.53 percent. In doing so, he takes over the reins from Christian Hötting, who did not run again after four successful years and winning several elections. Hötting, who was also a face of the Mannheim local council, would like to concentrate more on his family obligations and his work as a legal specialist in the future.

In his speech, Mayor Christian Specht praised Hötting's achievements during his term of office. Under his leadership, the CDU Mannheim managed to win three important elections, including the mayoral election in 2023 and the local and federal elections in 2024. Hötting also ensured that all local branches and associations in the district association were reactivated. “A united appearance by the CDU Mannheim is of the utmost importance,” he emphasized.

A breath of fresh air with experience

Lennart Christ, who is also deputy chairman of the CDU local council group, has made an ambitious commitment. He is running in the state elections in the north of Mannheim next year and sees his new position as an important support in this process. With his goal of continuing the CDU's successful course and further strengthening the party, he has already set the course for future development.

The new district board is made up of various committed members: In addition to the deputy district chairmen Sabine Brenner, Roswitha Henz-Best and Christoph Hambusch, Frank Loreth is at the top as treasurer and Patrick Dreilich as secretary. Janina Lorena Schmidt takes care of member support, while Maximilian Schlereth is responsible for external communication as press spokesman. Digital matters are represented by Gernot Wilken, while the assessors represent a broad team.

Outlook for the future

Where is the CDU Mannheim headed? Under Lennart Christ, continuing the successful course will be a priority. It remains to be seen how the political landscape will develop before the state elections in 2026. “We have a strong team and I am convinced that we will overcome the challenges that lie ahead together,” said Christ.
