Generational change at the CDU: Christin Ziegler takes over as chairman!
The annual general meeting of the CDU Schwarzenborn took place on November 1, 2025, and was marked by a significant generational change. The previous chairman Marc Liebermann handed over the scepter to the state parliament member Christin Ziegler. However, Liebermann will remain with the party as deputy chairman and thus ensure a smooth transition. Other important board positions were also filled at the meeting, including Torsten Löwer as secretary and Christian Krüger as treasurer. Jörg Seidel and Michael Gutheil complete the team as assessors and member representatives.
The CDU Schwarzenborn is looking forward to the upcoming local elections in March 2026 with optimism. These are no small feat: on March 15, 2026, not only will a new municipal council be elected, but also city councils, district councils and, last but not least, district administrators and mayors in Hesse. Ziegler emphasizes that fresh ideas, solidarity and a strong voice are needed for Schwarzenborn and Grebenhagen in order to convince voters. Marc Liebermann was thanked for his many years of leadership and commitment, while Dieter Rericha is stepping down from the board after many years.
Challenges and reforms in Hesse
In particular, the opposition, consisting of the Greens, FDP and AfD, is sharply critical of the CDU-SPD coalition's reform plans. FDP MP Moritz Promny describes the change as a “frontal attack on democratic values”. On the other hand, Interior Minister Roman Poseck argues that these measures are necessary to make processes in municipalities more efficient and to reduce fragmentation in parliaments.
Economic challenges
Aside from political questions, there are also economic issues that affect people in Hesse and beyond. Germany is struggling with a tense economic situation, due, among other things, to high energy prices and a shortage of skilled workers. The CDU advocates a rethink: a modernization of labor law and relief from tax and social security contributions should be created. Active wolf management and food security as a state goal in the Basic Law are also required in order to secure agriculture in Germany.
In the run-up to the local elections, it will be crucial how voters react to these economic and social conditions. The CDU has set itself the goal of promoting a performance-oriented society and bringing about a policy change in order to give citizens a feeling of prosperity again. It remains exciting to see whether these messages reach people.
Overall, the CDU Schwarzenborn is ready for new challenges, while at the same time it has to take a position on the reformation of the Hessian municipal system. The next few months will show whether the fresh ideas can also meet with the approval of citizens.
