Hanau launches labor market strategy Together. Work”!

The city of Hanau has taken a remarkable step towards a future full of opportunities. Under the leadership of mayor and social affairs officer Dr. The labor market policy strategy “Working Together” was presented to Maximilian Bieri. This ambitious project is intended not only to strengthen social cohesion, but also to massively promote participation in working life. The new measures are a holistic approach that focuses on the needs of citizens and employers, and this was made clear in a comprehensive presentation on June 21, 2025.

A central element of this strategy will be the “house around working life”. This central contact point is intended to serve as an information and advice center for everyone involved. Through close cooperation between the employment agency, job centers and municipal offices, the aim is to simplify those processes that are often perceived as a hindrance. The “house around working life” thus becomes an important reference point in Hanau’s labor market landscape, where various institutions come together to achieve synergetic effects. On this new platform, citizens will find the support they need, while employers will benefit from easier access to qualified workers. Further information about this exciting project can be found on the website Future Hanau.

There is a legal basis behind this far-reaching initiative that will come into force on January 1, 2026: the Hanau District Freedom. The Hessian state parliament had already approved the corresponding spin-off law on February 25, 2025. This political decision gives the city the opportunity to actively shape its own economic and labor market policy, which Mayor Claus Kaminsky particularly emphasized in his speech. He sees this as an opportunity to significantly improve the framework conditions for a dynamic and inclusive labor market.

But what exactly does the strategy look like? The project is summarized in three core elements:

• Eng vernetztes Arbeiten intern sowie mit externen Partnern.
• Einrichtung des „Hauses rund um das Erwerbsleben“ als zentrale Anlaufstelle.
• Gründung eines Arbeitsmarktpolitischen Beirats zur strategischen Weiterentwicklung.

The labor market policy advisory board will consist of representatives from the city and relevant institutions and will continuously develop the strategy. Support for the project also comes from Dr. Frank Martin from the Federal Employment Agency, who describes it as a “lighthouse project”.

In conclusion, it can be said that Hanau is taking a promising path with “Together. Working” that focuses on both human and economic potential. If you would like to find out more about the latest developments in the job market, you can visit the website Federal Employment Agency inform.

This city's commitment is a powerful example of how strategic planning and collaboration can create a more livable and inclusive environment. Hanau – there’s something going on!
