It's great to see how the event brings the community together and puts everyone in a good mood!

Looking at the political future

In the midst of these celebrations, Mayor Henning Dierks is already looking at the next steps in his political career. He will run for mayor again in Bad Zwischenahn in 2026 and will be supported by a broad alliance of the SPD, CDU and FDP. This shows itself as a sign of stability and as a delimitation from extreme political positions, which is all the more important in today's world. Dierks highlights the successes of his term in office so far, including the expansion of childcare and improving the water quality of the Zwischenahner Meer. spd-badzwischenahn.de further states that under his aegis the digitization of schools was also promoted and offers for young people were created, such as the Ofen youth center and the new skate area.

But what about the challenges ahead? Dierks has set himself ambitious goals. He would like to further intensify the tourism focus and at the same time create affordable living space. The completion of the quiet forest on Diekweg is also on his agenda. These are all issues that are important for the citizens of Bad Zwischenahn and make it necessary for them to actively participate in the local elections.

Local elections in Germany

The announced local elections will certainly arouse the interest of citizens, because elections are an important part of the political system in Germany. They include not only the elections of party representatives in municipalities, but also the direct elections of the mayors. It is important to know that, according to Article 28 of the Basic Law, these elections must take place under the principles of general, free and secret voting. bpb.de further explains that the term of office for directly elected mayors is usually between five and eight years and that voter turnout in local elections is often lower than in elections at the state or federal level. However, local politics always have a direct impact on the daily lives of citizens.

Overall, it remains exciting to see how the holidays and Bad Zwischenahn's political future will go hand in hand. Stay tuned and enjoy the Bad Zwischenahner week!
