Change of mayor in Minden, Lübbecke and Hille: A new beginning!
Today is an important day in the town halls of Minden, Lübbecke, Hille and Rahden. October 31, 2025 marks not only the end of an era for four mayors, but also the official start of a new legislative period starting tomorrow. How Radio Westfalica reported, the incumbent city leaders in these cities have not stood for re-election and are now handing over the reins to their successors.
In Minden, Peter Kock from the SPD becomes the new mayor and thus takes responsibility for the city. There is also a change in Lübbecke: Philipp Knappmeyer, also from the SPD, takes office, while Andreas Waßmann takes over the mayor's office in Hille as an independent candidate. In Rahden, Florian Haase from the FDP won the election and prevailed against the incumbent Bert Honsel.
A new beginning for the communities
The change in the town halls brings a breath of fresh air and new ideas for the communities. The challenges ahead, ranging from the management of municipal projects to the needs of citizens, will certainly shape the agenda of the new mayors. It will be exciting to see how enthusiastically the new incumbents will get to work.
The lack of familiar faces in the political landscape is causing change and at the same time opening up space for innovative approaches. With the fresh ambition of the new mayors, this could mean a positive turn for the municipalities.
Context and challenges
On October 31, 2025, the local elections in September will also be brought into perspective with their decisions.

In conclusion, it can be said that today sets the course for the future of the four cities. Citizens can be excited to see what the new mayors will achieve for their communities. The coming months will certainly provide further insight into the direction being taken. Radio Westfalica stay tuned and report on developments.
