Panel discussion in Mönchengladbach: Candidates in the economic check!

An exciting event is coming up in Mönchengladbach! On Thursday, August 21st, a panel discussion on the 2025 local elections will take place, focusing on the city's economic future. From 6 p.m., the knowledge campus at Webschulstrasse 77 will open its doors for this important exchange between politics and business. The event is organized by the Mönchengladbach Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK) in collaboration with the Rheinische Post. The senior regional editor of RP Mönchengladbach, Denisa Richters, will moderate the evening.

Who can't be missed? The OB candidates present are a who's who of local politics: Felix Heinrichs from the SPD, Christof Wellens from the CDU, Marcel Klotz from the Greens, Reiner Gutowski from the FDP and Sebastian Merkens from DIE LINKE. The focus of the discussion is the economic policy measures that the candidates are proposing for the city of Mönchengladbach.

Economic check and active involvement

The IHK has already asked the candidates about their economic policy goals, and the results can be viewed on the IHK website. Jürgen Steinmetz, general manager of the IHK Mittlerer Niederrhein, emphasizes the need to reduce municipal costs, promote commercial space development and increase the quality of life in the city. These issues are not only important for the big picture, but also directly affect local entrepreneurs and citizens.

No entrepreneur should miss the opportunity to get to know the economic policy goals of the candidates. The discussion is kept open so that the audience is actively involved in the exchange. Participation in this interesting event is free of charge, but prior registration via the IHK website is recommended: www.mittlerer-niederrhein.ihk.de.

Information for those interested

Anyone who is interested in the economic direction of Mönchengladbach should really mark this date in red on their calendar. This provides the opportunity to hear directly from the candidates what visions they have for the city. Especially in times when economic developments are constantly in flux, it makes sense to stay informed.

In a different context, but no less interesting: Anyone who owns their own home should also consider the costs of replacing a roof. The average cost for a new roof is between $6,700 and $25,000, depending on size and material. A new roof not only protects the home but can also increase its value. When it comes to the right materials, asphalt and architectural shingles, cedar or wood shingles, and even metal and slate roofing options offer different benefits and price points. It is advisable to consult professionals for advice and inspection, especially when it comes to potential leaks. This way you stay on the safe side not only during political discussions, but also with your own home!

For everyone who is interested in urban issues and owning their own real estate, there is plenty to talk about and take action on! Don't miss the opportunity to actively participate and get information!
