FDP nominates Frank Soldan as candidate for mayor in 2026!
The decision was made in the Lüneburg Museum on Wednesday evening: the FDP city association has Frank Soldan unanimously elected candidate for mayor. The self-employed dentist and long-time FDP council parliamentary group leader will lead the Free Democrats in the local elections on September 13, 2026.
Soldan, who as a father is firmly anchored in Lüneburg society, has over 20 years of experience in local politics. His passion is reflected in his political priorities: education, business, urban development and culture are at the top of his agenda. He has become particularly fond of the importance of education as an indispensable investment in the future. He not only calls for modern equipment, but also digital learning methods for schools in Lüneburg.
Focus on economy and urban development
But he doesn't just want to make a difference in the education sector; Soldan also has clear ideas about Lüneburg's economic development. He is committed to reducing bureaucracy and positioning the city as a reliable partner for companies. He sees enormous development potential through the provision of commercial space and the acceleration of administrative processes.
“I want to shape things,” says Soldan, emphasizing that traffic should not be exclusively geared towards cycling, which is particularly important to him in contrast to the current green city government. He rates his chances in the election campaign as “good”, but expects a certain challenge as he may not achieve the required majority of votes in the first round.
Culture and identity in view
A central concern for him is the culture in Lüneburg, which he considers to be important for the city's identity and joie de vivre. Cornelius Grimm, the chairman of the FDP city association, praised Soldan as credible and experienced, which further strengthens his nomination.
Heiko Meyer, a non-party candidate, could also enter the race if he receives the necessary support from the SPD and CDU. Apart from that, no other candidacies have been confirmed yet. The nomination of Frank Soldan is therefore an important step in the preparations for the local elections in 2026, in which not only the mayor will be elected, but also the council and the local councils of Lüneburg.
The residents of Lüneburg can be curious to see how the political landscape will develop and what election offers the other parties will have in store. However, one thing is clear: With Soldan there will be a committed and experienced candidate who wants to set the course for the future of Lüneburg with his plans.
