Lüneburg Finance Committee: Important budget decisions on November 5th!

Things will get exciting in Lüneburg on November 5, 2025, when the district's finance committee invites you to its public meeting.

For example, it is about the introduction of process management, the quarterly report as well as the supplementary budget for 2025 and the budget for 2026. The meeting will take place in the district administration's meeting room, Auf dem Michaeliskloster 4, and those interested are warmly invited to attend [Lüne-Blog](https://luene-blog.de/landkreis-lueneburg-finanz committee-tagt-5-november-2025/) reports.

Another important point at the meeting will be the financing and business plan of MOIN GmbH. Given the challenges in municipal finance, it is crucial to be well informed about the state of finances. The various factions in the district council will also be represented here and will have to make important decisions with the support of the Central Services Department under the leadership of Franziska Welz.

Budget situation and investments

The current budget situation is influenced by the new proposals from the Lower Saxony state government. Planned as part of a supplementary budget for 2025, this is intended to increase the existing volume by 1.4 billion euros to a total of 45.57 billion euros. In addition, the government has launched an emergency program that is intended to strengthen investments and financial relief for municipalities with around five billion euros. The targeted program will also be discussed in the Finance Committee [Niedersachsen.de].

A budget volume of around 47.89 billion euros is planned for 2026 - an increase of around 3.4 billion euros compared to the previous year. The state government would like to increase the investment rate, which should grow to 9.5 percent with the new supplement for 2025. This shows that it is not just about improving the general conditions for the municipalities, but also about providing important impetus for growth and innovation.

Shaping municipal finances

Well-structured budget management is essential for making the right decisions in communities like Lüneburg. The issue of budget management is particularly important in times when financial resources are limited. A tried-and-tested concept offers orientation in the new budget and accounting system, which focuses on strategic control through budgeting and service allocation. This is covered in detail in the publication on budget management in municipalities.

The challenges arising from internal competition and the charging of services are not new for the administration in Lüneburg. Transparent and effective budgeting is key to ensuring the long-term financial health of the community. The Finance Committee meeting will also address how these challenges can best be overcome.

Citizens are invited to actively follow developments in the area of ​​finance and the introduction of process management in Lüneburg. If you have any questions or suggestions, you also have the opportunity to contact the committee members directly during the residents' question time on November 5th. Involving the population is an important step in working together on the future of the city.
