Mettmann's new mayor inspires with visions for the future!
A new wind is blowing through Mettmann! At a festive event on November 13, 2025, Mayor André Bär gave his inaugural speech and laid the foundation for a new era in the city. At a time when standing still is not an option, he set himself the task of finding innovative and sustainable ideas for Mettmann. “Let’s work together and develop the best solutions,” said Bär, igniting the audience’s enthusiasm.
The celebratory moment was particularly underlined by the handover of the mayor's chain by CDU councilor Andreas Scherer. Scherer emphasized how important it is that Mettmann moves forward and that citizens are actively involved in developments. "We need a breath of fresh air and creative minds. This is the only way we can master the challenges of the future," says Scherer.
Together for Mettmann
The invitation to participate is more than just an appeal. Mayor Bär invites all citizens to contribute their ideas and visions. "Each of us has the potential to contribute to the development of our city. Together we can shape a sustainable future," he encouraged the audience. A sentimental but also targeted message that shows that the city administration is ready to address the concerns of its citizens.
André Bär's commitment is impressive. In a world often lacking ideas and paths, this provides a clear direction. The mayor aims to make Mettmann an exemplary place for innovative approaches and collaboration.
The festive event was rounded off by the exchange among those present, who were already eagerly thinking about the next steps. The active participation of citizens will play a central role in making Mettmann shine in the best possible light. We are excited to see what ideas will emerge!
