Green departure: Stephan Griebel wants to become district administrator in the Freising district!

Something is happening in the Freising district: The district association of BÜNDNIS 90/The Greens has nominated Stephan Griebel as district administrator candidate for the upcoming elections in 2026. A unanimous decision that refers to Griebel's many years of experience in local politics and his commitment to social areas. “The thought of running for office electrifies me,” said the 57-year-old, who has lived in the region for 28 years and therefore has a deep understanding of the concerns of the citizens ( South Germans ).

Griebel, who is known as chairman of the helpers' group in Zolling and head of the Independent Citizens of Zolling, has made a positive contribution to integration in the region with his work in refugee aid. In addition to his commitment to these social issues, he also brings professional expertise: At Texas Instruments he works in the development of educational products and therefore knows the world of business first hand. Neufahrner's mayor Franz Heilmeier emphasizes that Griebel knows this world “very well” and therefore has the necessary prerequisites to tackle the upcoming challenges in the district.

Focus on sustainability and social justice

His agenda for the coming years is ambitious: Griebel focuses on social justice and sustainable development. A central concern is the financial stability of the district and the stabilization of the district levy. In the midst of a tense budget situation, Griebel wants to tackle the pressing problems because the financial situation is anything but easy. “It is important to implement projects quickly and efficiently,” emphasizes Griebel, who also wants to speak out against the construction of a third runway at Munich Airport in order to preserve the quality of life in the region ( freising.news ).

In addition, Griebel advocates improving mobility in rural areas and sees a great need for action in climate protection, especially in the expansion of renewable energies. Digital change is another point that Griebel is putting on his agenda: He calls for greater digitalization in administration and public life in order to make processes more efficient.

Support from political colleagues

Griebel is supported by important players in the party, including district chairwoman Sandra Smolka and Dr. Maximilian Breu, emphasizing his expertise and vision for the future of the district. The official assembly meeting took place in Zolling on July 2, 2025, and further applications were announced as possible candidates for the 2026 district election. Griebel is determined to actively represent and address both the challenges in the district and the concerns of its citizens.

A look into the future shows that Griebel has a lot to take into account, but with his experience and commitment he has a clear plan to move the Freising district forward. It remains to be seen whether citizens will support his vision for a fairer and more sustainable coexistence in the coming election year.
